Overview of this book

Whether you're just getting your feet wet in cloud infrastructure or already creating complex systems, this book will guide you through using the patterns to fit your system needs. Starting with patterns that cover basic processes such as source control and infrastructure-as-code, the book goes on to introduce cloud security practices. You'll then cover patterns of availability and scalability and get acquainted with the ephemeral nature of cloud environments. You'll also explore advanced DevOps patterns in operations and maintenance, before focusing on virtualization patterns such as containerization and serverless computing. In the final leg of your journey, this book will delve into data persistence and visualization patterns. You'll get to grips with architectures for processing static and dynamic data, as well as practices for managing streaming data. By the end of this book, you will be able to design applications that are tolerant of underlying hardware failures, resilient against an unexpected influx of data, and easy to manage and replicate.

Preface

The Implementing Cloud Design Patterns for AWS provides reproducible processes, practices, and blueprints to deliver secure, extensible, cloud-native products. This second edition guide will help you leverage the extensive offerings of AWS to solve common problems with it.

You will be introduced to cloud service patterns and discover how to apply them when building microservice-oriented solutions and highly robust systems using the cloud infrastructure. You will begin by creating core components and discern how to add layers of scalable services that can be applied to your products' needs. You will also learn how to leverage container and serverless architectures to increase extensibility and security, thereby exploring and applying Amazon-provided services in unique ways to solve common design problems.
