Description

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of the most popular and efficient cloud platforms for administering and deploying your applications to make them resilient and robust. AWS for System Administrators will help you to learn several advanced cloud administration concepts for deploying, managing, and operating highly available systems on AWS. Starting with the fundamentals of identity and access management (IAM) for securing your environment, this book will gradually take you through AWS networking and monitoring tools. As you make your way through the chapters, you’ll get to grips with VPC, EC2, load balancer, Auto Scaling, RDS database, and data management. The book will also show you how to initiate AWS automated backups and store and keep track of log files. Later, you’ll work with AWS APIs and understand how to use them along with CloudFormation, Python Boto3 Script, and Terraform to automate infrastructure. By the end of this AWS book, you’ll be ready to build your two-tier startup with all the necessary infrastructure, monitoring, and logging components in place.

What you will learn

  • Adopt a security-first approach by giving users minimum access using IAM policies
  • Build your first Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance using the AWS CLI, Boto3, and Terraform
  • Set up your datacenter in AWS Cloud using VPC
  • Scale your application based on demand using Auto Scaling
  • Monitor services using CloudWatch and SNS
  • Work with centralized logs for analysis (CloudWatch Logs)
  • Back up your data using Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Data Lifecycle Manager, and AWS Backup

Great book- I rated it with highest rating because this is exactly what a person needs who is just getting into aws and trying to build something. This book has step by step walk throughs/ screenshots and commands to make every topic interactive and easy to practice. I would want to spend lot of time going through this multiple times to get hang of it.

This is a great book who want to start from scratch and build and production grade AWS infrastructure. It’s written in pretty simple language, It covers Monitoring Visibility etc.Another standout is that the example shows multiple ways to do things including two IAC (infrastructure as code) methods. Including Terraform examples is a great idea.This is also good book who want to just refresh the aws knowledge.

This can be an incredible book if you work or wish to work in AWS space. It’s simple to get it and to the point. If you want to understand the admin side of AWS then this is the book for you. Each and every topic is separately explained and in simple words. If you are preparing for a certification then this book should be there on your shelf. The author has presented the topics in an efficient way through screenshots and CLI commands. key takeaways from the book: Automation, Backup, Monitoring, Fault tolerance and User management.

This is a great book written in the most simple language. It’s easy to understand and to the point. If you are a AWS system admin or even want to deploy your application using AWS then you will find all your questions answered in this book. Just browse through the table of content and you will be able to locate your question/ query . It’s also a detailed book for anyone who wants to try AWS cloud platform. The book is written keeping in mind the practical problems that an administrator might face while using AWS. I would any-day pick up this book to get to the point answer to my query on AWS then using Google which might confuse me with numerous approaches.
