AWS for System Administrators - Second Edition - Marcel Neidinger

. .

Résumé :
Build and manage AWS infrastructure using Terraform, AWS CLI, Boto3, and the AWS CDK to automate deployments, enhance reliability, and operate scalable cloud environments Key Features: - Use a hands-on approach that mirrors real AWS operations with end-to-end examples - Use scripting and IaC to handle tasks like infrastructure deployment, credential rotation, backups, and resource cleanup - Manage complex environments with reusable code, policy enforcement, and multi-account best practices - Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Book Description: System administrators adopting AWS often struggle with automation, scalability, and multi-account management. Originally authored by Prashant Lakhera and now thoroughly updated by Senior Solutions Architect Marcel Neidinger, this second edition is your scenario-driven, hands-on guide to efficiently deploying and managing cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC). This updated edition features new topics like chaos engineering with AWS Fault Injection Simulator, multi-account CI/CD deployments, reusable IaC patterns, and cloud compliance using AWS Config and service control policies-all to help you build modern cloud architectures. You'll set up AWS CLI, Terraform, and CDK to automate deployments, as well as explore cloud networking with VPCs, EC2, and Transit Gateway, followed by auto-scaling and load balancing strategies. The chapters highlight AWS Secrets Manager for securely storing and accessing your secrets, along with CloudWatch for monitoring and observability in the cloud. You'll implement centralized logging and develop backup and disaster recovery strategies. The book guides you through the processes and best practices for setting up a multi-account environment, with real-world scenarios for optimizing costs and ensuring high availability. By the end of this book, you'll have the skills to efficiently deploy, manage, and optimize AWS infrastructure at scale. What You Will Learn: - Design and deploy networks in the cloud with VPCs and deploy instances with EC2 - Implement auto-scaling and load balancing to optimize application performance - Deploy relational databases with Amazon RDS - Secure credentials using AWS Secrets Manager - Monitor AWS resources using CloudWatch and SNS - Test infrastructure resiliency using AWS Fault Injection Simulator - Automate backups and implement disaster recovery strategies - Set up and manage multiple AWS accounts using AWS Organizations Who this book is for: This book is designed for system administrators, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals who want to effectively manage and automate AWS environments. A basic understanding of cloud computing, the Linux operating system, and networking concepts is recommended. Table of Contents - Setting Up the AWS Environment - Protecting Your AWS Account Using IAM - Creating a Data Center in the Cloud Using a VPC - Scalable Compute Capacity in the Cloud via EC2 - Increasing Application Fault Tolerance and Efficiency with Elastic Load Balancing - Increasing Application Performance Using AWS Auto Scaling - Scaling a Relational Database in the Cloud Using Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) - Managing Secrets and Encryption Keys with AWS Secrets Manager and KMS - Centralized Logging and Monitoring with Amazon CloudWatch - Centralizing Cloud Backup Solutions - Disaster Recovery Options with AWS - Testing the Resilience of Your Infrastructure and Architecture with AWS Fault Injection Service - Deploying Infrastructure Using CI/CD Pipelines (N.B. Please use the Read Sample option to see further chapters)...
