Effective DevOps with AWS: Ship faster, scale better, and deliver incredible productivity 1st Edition

The DevOps movement has transformed the way modern tech companies work. AWS, which has been at the forefront of the Cloud computing revolution, has also been a key contributor to this DevOps movement, creating a huge range of managed services that help you implement the DevOps principles.

In this book, you'll see how the most successful tech start-ups launch and scale their services on AWS and how you can, too. Written by a lead member of Medium's DevOps team, this book explains how to treat infrastructure as code, meaning you can bring resources online and offline as necessary with the code as easily as you control your software. You will also build a continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline to keep your app up to date. You'll find out how to scale your applications to offer maximum performance to users anywhere in the world, even when traffic spikes with the latest technologies, such as containers and serverless computing. You will also take a deep dive into monitoring and alerting to make sure your users have the best experience when using your service.

Finally, you'll get to grips with ensuring the security of your platform and data.
