Mark Wilkins

Przeniesienie firmowego systemu do chmury Amazon Web Services bywa sporym wyzwaniem nawet dla osób o dużej wiedzy technicznej. Wysiłek ten jest jednak uzasadniony, gdyż w chmurze AWS można korzystać ze znakomitych rozwiązań, w tym z usług obliczeniowych, magazynu, obsługi sieci i usług zarządzanych. Studiowanie dokumentacji dostępnej w internecie bywa nieefektywne i frustrujące: nader często po kilku wieczorach spędzonych na poszukiwaniach okazuje się, że odnalezione z wysiłkiem instrukcje pochodzą sprzed kilku lat i są już nieprzydatne. Brakuje również wskazówek potrzebnych przy integracji systemów, dotyczących współpracy głównych usług AWS, aspektów sieciowych, mechanizmów skalowania, zabezpieczeń i automatyzacji. Tę lukę wypełnia właśnie ta książka. To praktyczny przewodnik dla inżynierów, którzy chcą planować i wdrażać usługi Amazon Web Services. Przyda się również osobom planującym zdobycie certyfikatu AWS. Przedstawiono tu zasady pracy zgodne z najlepszymi praktykami Well-Architected Framework firmy Amazon, wprowadzono kluczowe koncepcje, a także pieczołowicie wyjaśniono działanie i integrację głównych usług AWS. W książce znalazło się mnóstwo praktycznych, starannie przetestowanych porad dotyczących skalowalności, elastyczności i bezpieczeństwa usług obliczeniowych, magazynu, obsługi sieci oraz usług zarządzanych. Niezwykle cennym uzupełnieniem są przygotowane przez autora materiały wideo prezentujące najważniejsze koncepcje stosowane w chmurze AWS i zawierające szczegółowe instrukcje konfigurowania głównych usług AWS. W tej książce między innymi: rozpoczęcie pracy z Amazon Web Services usługi obliczeniowe oraz usługi sieciowe skalowalność i bezpieczeństwo aplikacji w chmurze AWS bezpieczeństwo przy korzystaniu z Amazon Web Services automatyzacja usług AWS Zostań ekspertem do spraw planowania i wdrażania usług Amazon Web Services!
