I put the last edits to this manuscript in my third trimester, and by the time I hold a copy of this book in my hands, I anticipate I would have spent a few sleepless months already. Baby C, Mommy hasn’t met you yet, but has loved you since the moment she found out you were joining the family. brief contents 1 ■ Introduction to cloud computing and Amazon Web Services 1 2 ■ Introduction to cloud concepts 16 3 ■ Deploying and operating in AWS global infrastructure 50 4 ■ Core AWS services 65 5 ■ Security and compliance 87 6 ■ Billing and pricing 101 7 ■ AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam (CLF-C01) 122 vi contents preface x acknowledgments xii about this book xiv about the author xvii about the cover illustration xviii 1 Introduction to cloud computing and Amazon Web Services 1 1.1 What is cloud computing? 2 1.2 Why cloud computing? 4 1.3 When should I use or not use cloud computing? 5 When should I use cloud computing? 5 ■ When should I not use cloud computing? 7 1.4 Conceptualizing cloud computing and AWS 9 Cloud computing, AWS, and you 9 ■ Breaking down AWS 10 1.5 AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam (CLF-C01) 12 The four domains 13 ■ Studying for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam 14 2 Introduction to cloud concepts 16 2.1 Cloud concepts introduced 17 vii viii CONTENTS 2.2 Advantages of cloud computing 17 Trade capital expenses for variable expenses 18 ■ Benefit from massive economies of scale 20 ■ Stop guessing capacity 22 ■ Increase speed and agility 24 ■ Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers 25 ■ Go global in minutes 26 ■ Section quiz 28 2.3 Types of cloud computing models 28 Software as a Service 30 ■ Platform as a Service 30 Infrastructure as a Service 31 ■ Section quiz 31 2.4 Types of cloud computing deployments 32 Cloud/cloud-native deployment 32 ■ Hybrid deployment 32 On-premises deployment 33 ■ Section quiz 33 2.5 Pillars of the Well-Architected Framework 34 Operational excellence 35 ■ Security 36 ■ Reliability 40 Performance efficiency 42 ■ Cost optimization 44 Sustainability 46 ■ Section quiz 48 3 Deploying and operating in AWS global infrastructure 50 3.1 Hosting IT infrastructure on AWS 50 3.2 Deploying and operating in AWS 51 Interacting with the AWS Cloud 51 ■ Deploying in the AWS Cloud 55 ■ Connectivity options in the AWS Cloud 55 Section quiz 58 3.3 AWS global infrastructure 58 Regions 59 ■ Availability Zones 60 ■ Edge Locations 61 Section quiz 63 4 Core AWS services 65 4.1 Compute services 65 Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud 66 ■ AWS Elastic Beanstalk 67 Elastic Load Balancing 68 ■ AWS Lambda 69 ■ Amazon Elastic Container Service 71 ■ Section quiz 71 4.2 Storage services 71 Amazon Simple Storage Service 73 ■ Amazon Elastic Block Store 74 ■ AWS Snowball 74 ■ AWS Storage Gateway 75 Amazon Elastic File System 77 ■ Section quiz 77 4.3 Database services 77 Amazon Relational Database Service 77 ■ Amazon DynamoDB 79 ■ Amazon Redshift 80 ■ Section quiz 80 4.4 Networking and content delivery services 80 Amazon Route 53 81 ■ Section quiz 82
