- About the Authors
Cloud computing has redefined how modern businesses scale, secure, and innovate. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s leading cloud platform, providing the essential compute, storage, networking, and database power that runs modern applications. It stands as the global leader in cloud platforms, empowering millions of organizations with robust infrastructure, automation, and AI-driven services.
This book provides a comprehensive, expert-guided journey through the AWS ecosystem. You will explore core services, advanced networking, infrastructure as code, serverless design, edge computing, and real-world deployment architectures. Each chapter demystifies one vital aspect of AWS mastery, including governance, observability, media streaming, IoT, AI, and global infrastructure best practices.
By the end, readers will confidently architect, secure, and optimize scalable cloud solutions using AWS. The readers will possess a vast, practical knowledge of over 200 AWS services and be able to confidently apply the AWS Well-Architected Framework's six strategic pillars to design, optimize, and manage any cloud solution.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
● Design enterprise-grade AWS architectures.
● Master Spark execution model RDDs, DAGs, Catalyst, and Adaptive Query Execution.
● Automate infrastructure with IaC tools.
