Preface

Amazon EC2 is a web service offered by AWS to rent servers on a pay-as-you-go basis. EC2 allows businesses to quickly deploy, scale, and manage applications in the AWS cloud. EC2 not only streamlines IT operations by eliminating the need for purchasing physical hardware and reducing the time and effort required for infrastructure management but also stands as a prime candidate for migrating legacy applications to the AWS cloud.

In this book, you will embark on a comprehensive journey through Amazon EC2. You will start with the basics, learning what EC2 is, its benefits, and how it can help you build secure and scalable applications. By starting with the fundamentals and progressing to more advanced topics, you will gain a thorough understanding of EC2’s core components, from instances and storage options to networking and security. You will learn how to select the right resources, implement security best practices, effectively manage your cloud environment, and optimize the resources for performance and cost-efficiency. As you progress, navigating the chapters and learning about EC2 foundations, you will gradually transition into advanced areas such as load balancing, auto-scaling, cloud formation, containerization, and high-performance computing to equip you with the skills required to design efficient, resilient, and modern cloud-based solutions.

This book will be crucial for you because it empowers you with the knowledge of EC2, aligning with the industry movement toward cloud computing. At the end of this book, I am confident that you will be equipped with the skills needed to deploy and manage secure and scalable applications on EC2 and to be able to tackle complex scenarios involving high-performance computing, disaster recovery, and big data. Whether you are an IT professional, developer, or someone curious about cloud computing, this book serves as an indispensable guide to harnessing the full potential of Amazon EC2, propelling you toward a future in which any form of cloud expertise is increasingly indispensable!
