Python Essentials for AWS Cloud Developers

Using Python on AWS

In this chapter, we will give a brief introduction to the cloud. We will then explain how to set up Python and how to run your first application within the command line as well as via an integrated development environment (IDE). We’re going to cover the following main topics:

  • What is the cloud?
  • Understanding the advantages of the cloud
  • Installing Python
  • Installing PyCharm
  • Creating a new project

Cloud computing is one of the most popular approaches to implementing your applications, and it has huge advantages. There are multiple cloud providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Azure. AWS is one of the most widely used cloud providers, and many companies are moving there. Cloud usage is significantly growing, and developers are expected to have a good understanding of the cloud. By buying this book, you are on the right path and stepping into how to implement cool Python applications using AWS.

Most companies are moving to the cloud because of the significant advantages. It is important to know why and how these services are being used.

Key benefits

  • Gain hands-on experience in AWS services to effectively implement Python programming
  • Utilize Python with open source libraries to develop data pipelines, APIs, and database applications
  • Leverage the power of AWS to create a cloud-based server and use monitoring and logging features

Description

AWS provides a vast variety of services for implementing Python applications, which can pose a challenge for those without an AWS background. This book addresses one of the more predominant problems of choosing the right service and stepping into the implementation of exciting Python apps using AWS. The book begins by showing you how to install Python and create an AWS account, before helping you explore AWS Lambda, EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, and S3 for Python programming. You'll then gain hands-on experience in using these services to build the Python application. As you advance, you'll discover how to debug Python apps using PyCharm, and then start deploying the Python applications on Elastic Beanstalk. You’ll also learn how to monitor Python applications using the CloudWatch service, along with creating and publishing APIs on AWS to access the Python application. The concluding chapters will help you get to grips with storing unstructured and semi-structured data using NoSQL and DynamoDB, as well as advance your knowledge using the Glue serverless data integration service in AWS. By the end of this Python book, you’ll be able to take your application development skills up a notch with AWS services and advance in your career.

Who is this book for?

This book is for cloud developers, software developers, and IT specialists who want to develop Python applications on AWS as well as learn the concepts underlying AWS services for implementing the applications. Experience in Python programming is needed to be able to implement the applications on AWS.

"Python Essentials for AWS Cloud Developers" by Serkan Sakinmaz is a valuable resource that combines Python programming with cloud computing. It offers clear explanations, practical examples, and covers a wide range of cloud services on AWS. While it could benefit from more in-depth content, the book effectively bridges the gap between Python and cloud development, making it a worthy addition for aspiring cloud developers.

I can recommend this book to anyone looking to learn how to use Python to develop cloud-based applications on AWS (perhaps not so much for veterans of the field!). The book does a great job of covering the basics of getting running with the key AWS services that are used to build and deploy Python applications. The author's explanations are clear and concise, and the supporting screenshots are very helpful.The book really focuses on practical knowledge - rather than just describing services, it shows you how to use them to build real-world applications. The reference project at the end is particularly useful as an end-to-end view.It doesn't delve into every corner of AWS, but the range of topics covered is a solid start for aspiring cloud developers. My only concern would be that the heavy use of explanatory screenshots of the AWS web frontend and PyCharm could become outdated as they update their UI.

I got this book to learn more about AWS and work with Phyton applications. I’m such a detailed person and this book matches my expectations, it explains each topic in detail. You can find many examples for AWS. While following the pages, you can understand how much experience its author has. This book helped me a lot! You should give it a try if you’re eager to learn AWS for Phyton apps.

In general, the book covers different topics related to AWS and for sure, focused on introducing "how" to its audience. If you are unfamiliar with AWS or had no chance to play with it this book is a good start. It is providing you the step-by-step intros supported by images. So, it is very good on the application side and a healthy resource for visual learners. I especially liked Part 3 due to the fact that it is rich with examples of AWS services.

After reviewing the first chapters, I can say with certainty that this is a valuable book on how to get started with AWS. Exactly the right mix of breadth and depth with practical use cases for my taste - I say this as an experienced Cloud Engineer. The author cites examples reminiscent of practical problems, such as debugging or monitoring Lambda functions, which a corporate engineer has to deal with very often.I liked the realistic use case scenarios that resemble my professional activity - the Author explained very clearly how to build data processing pipelines using multiple AWS services while giving a comprehensive big picture.
