AWS Certified SysOps Administrator ??? Associate Guide

The Fundamentals of Amazon Web Services

Amazon Web Services (AWS) was officially launched in 2006 by its parent company, Amazon. At that time, it was an online book store. The business saw an opportunity in the marketplace to deliver services based on in-house experience in building highly scalable web application services, which they were using for Amazon. The mid 2000s was a time when the first massive, web-scale applications were starting to really take off, and Amazon was running such a web application. They had also invested heavily in the underlying technologies, infrastructure, and data centers to run their application reliably, with the best possible response times on a global scale. Those data centers and the services to run them were, of course, designed to meet highly variable capacity requirements so that Amazon could be run. This variability was due to the nature...

Technical requirements

A basic understanding of common IT terminology and practices is required for you to follow the content of this chapter.

What is the AWS platform?

Amazon Web Services essentially put the words cloud and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS, in its abbreviated form) into the IT dictionary. I'm not implying that Amazon Web Services invented cloud computing, not at all! The creation of cloud computing is a multi-faceted story that took time and organic growth to become what it is today. I am simply implying that Amazon Web Services was the one that really made your typical enterprise start thinking of IT as services instead of investments.

Cloud computing can be broken down into three categories that define what kind of service is being consumed from the cloud, that is, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). The following diagram illustrates the services that are offered by each service layer:

...

The shared responsibility model

Once we begin consuming cloud resources, we need to be aware that we are operating our application on some kind of provider-managed infrastructure and that both parties have a different level of access to the environment.

The following diagram represents an overview of the shared responsibility model:

There are quite a few differences between the shared responsibilities depending on whether a customer is running an IaaS or a PaaS. For example, if the customer is using IaaS and running a virtual machine with a database instance on the cloud, the provider has access to and responsibility for securing the following:

  • The underlying hardware in their data center
  • The server and hypervisor where the VM instance is running
  • The storage subsystem where the data volume is residing
  • The physical network devices that connect the hypervisor to the internet
  • ...

Advantages of using AWS

Any conversation about cloud computing will eventually lead to the question "Why? What's the benefit and why should I be using cloud computing?" There are multiple factors that contribute to cloud computing outperforming the traditional, on-premises data center-oriented approach to computing, but the following capabilities are the ones that are the most likely to make on-premises data centers a thing of the past:

  • The ability to trade capital expenses for operational expenses when running IT
  • The ability to use inexpensive compute units on demand
  • Increased application delivery speed and agility
  • Capacity matched to demand
  • The ability to go global in minutes

Perhaps the most prominent advantage when using Amazon Web Services is the ability to deploy your services globally within minutes. Using scripts, templates or 3rd party tools, you can...

AWS Foundation Services

Amazon Web Services defines two service layers a bit more loosely than the standard IaaS and PaaS models. The underlying layer of AWS services is called AWS Foundation Services and includes all of the IaaS deliveries that AWS provides, as well as some services that fall squarely into the PaaS, and even SaaS layers of cloud computing. AWS Foundation Services can be divided into the following functional groups:

  • Network services
  • Compute services
  • Storage services
  • Security and identity services
  • End user applications

Network services

Network services are sub-divided into different offerings that deliver services that allows for the complete management of our network infrastructure. Examples include the...

AWS Platform Services

Platform Services provide users with platform and software options that allow developers to easily provision, deploy, and deliver services to their application without the typical infrastructure management overhead. AWS Platform Services can be divided into the following functional groups:

  • Databases
  • Management tools
  • Analytics
  • Application services
  • Developer tools
  • Mobile and IoT services

Databases

Database services are sub-divided into different offerings that deliver database services and allow for the acceleration of the delivery of data. Examples include the following service offerings:

  • Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS): A fully managed relational database service that allows for the seamless...

Using AWS services

When the AWS environment was conceived, the initial requirement for the creation and consumption of resources was that they were simple, easy, and intuitive to consume, with no training required. If we look back to 2006-2007, the early years of AWS, this was very true. AWS had a simple design and the creation and consumption of the limited number of resources was relatively simple for anyone with an appropriate level of general IT knowledge so that they could come along and create resources with very little adjustment to the way AWS defined them. Nowadays, this is starting to become less and less true. Over the past decade or so, the AWS platform has evolved, seemingly at an exponential speed, to a point where it has so many services and so many offerings that you would be hard pressed to find anyone who would say that they clearly understand and are able to...

Cloud-native and serverless designs

When we talk about cloud-native applications, we are simply defining them as applications that are built to run on the cloud and have the ability to access the cloud environment they are running on in one way or another. This capability can allow an application to be self-managed and, among other factors, can allow it to do any or all of the following:

  • Provision its own resources, such as instances, databases, storage, and networks
  • Access services in the cloud, such as monitoring and enumerating services to determine its own state
  • Have the ability to scale itself according to events or metrics that are retrieved from the cloud
  • Manage other applications running in the cloud

On the other hand, applications that have been designed with a server less approach in mind are designed in a way that they consume no visible server instance resources...

Choosing availability zones and regions

One of the most important aspects of running your application in an efficient and highly available manner is the correct selection of the location of your AWS services. AWS is designed to offer multiple facilities in several different regions so that it can provide both high availability of services within a single region and the ability for us to architect solutions that are distributed and replicated across different regions.

Based on the experience gained from running Amazon since the 90s, AWS has set out to create a world-class infrastructure architecture that is composed of the following components:

  • Datacenter
  • Availability zones
  • Region

The lowest infrastructure component in the AWS architecture is the datacenter. A datacenter is essentially designed to hold raw compute, network, and storage capacity and to provide no redundancy to...

Summary

Amazon Web Services provides a unified environment where cloud computing infrastructure, platform, and software services can be consumed by the end user. It enables us to be able to build an application by utilizing any combination of the AWS services on offer.

In this chapter, we learned how easy it is to create an AWS account and started using those services to build complex and powerful applications before making them available on the internet or on our internal network by using a VPN or Direct Connect uplink. AWS is a great environment when ease of management, the ability to provision quickly and globally, and financial constraints require us to build compute capacity from operating expenditures.

Although it is fairly simple to build applications on AWS, there are several challenges when using cloud computing systems as a standalone solution or as a hybrid model...

There are several comments that this a great book for beginners - as if it is a good thing. You are supposed to take Foundational level exam first before moving to Associate level. I assume that a book with this title does not repeat all the material from ground up.And it is difficult to just skip first 11 chapters, because they combine fundamentals with intermediate-level information. Very frustrating.That said, unfortunately, most AWS courses have the same problem.

Great book when starting with AWS. Covers basics like opening AWS account as well as how to set up multiple services in AWS. Very nice guided approach. The test questions are great, some even more difficult than the real exam.

I’m a long time on-prem vSphere admin trying to get my feet wet in the world of AWS. This book was my first introduction to AWS.I read this book cover to cover and followed along by making a free tier account in AWS. I don’t think this book alone would be sufficient to get me through the exam. After reading it, I took a practice exam, and got a score of 60%. Considering I knew absolutely nothing about AWS beforehand, I’d say I learned a great deal. I would have to spend more time getting hands-on experience to pass the exam (as is to be expected).

This is a thick, heavy book...mostly due to the massive amount of screenshots printed therein. A lot of the material reads as if it was lifted directly from the freely available AWS PDFs. That doesn't make it a bad guide, maybe it's easier to read the book rather than scrolling through PDFs.I passed my SysOps Admin course a few days ago without cracking this book open. It's a decent reference, but a poor study guide. I don't think this is a "one-stop solution" for passing the certification unless you're willing to use the material to guide your own hands-on self-study with the AWS Free Tier resources.

I recently passed the certified solutions architect - Associate level. Bought this book to prepare for the SysOps exam. It’s written very lightly with long passages sometimes a few pages where a diagram and a short description would deliver the content. Fails to talk about some major issues needed for the exam. It’s general book about was services, certainly not for passing the SysOps exam. Returned my copy today, looking at other books.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
