Book Description:

Building systems that can withstand failure is key to running a successful business on the cloud. Learn from distinguished AWS experts-Ajit, Imaya, and Rodrigue-who bring over four decades of experience in architecting enterprise-scale solutions, speaking at major AWS conferences, and implementing resilience strategies across diverse industries, as they guide you through building highly available and fault-tolerant applications on AWS.

This book explores resiliency, offering steps to design, build, and operate resilient architectures on AWS. You'll master data security practices, backup strategies, and automation techniques, helping you build strong defenses and reliable recovery plans for resilience against disruptions. You'll also learn how to apply AWS Well-Architected pillars to design applications with redundancy, loose coupling, graceful degradation, and fault isolation. With architecture examples, you'll validate your design's effectiveness through resilient patterns, performance monitoring, and chaos engineering.

By the end of this book, you'll be equipped with best practices for creating robust cloud infrastructures to ensure business continuity and success and become proficient at creating fault-tolerant systems, optimizing performance, and ensuring reliability across regions.

What You Will Learn:

- Master the key concepts and principles of building resilience in the cloud

- Architect modern applications using serverless and containers following best practices

- Use the AWS Well-Architected Framework to build durable architectures

- Anticipate operational events with chaos engineering techniques

- Understand when and how to use multi-region and cell-based architectures

- Attain highly efficient and reliable workload architectures on AWS

- Navigate the collaborative approach of the AWS Shared Responsibility

Who this book is for:

The book is for developers, architects, site reliability engineers, and IT managers who use cloud services for their workloads. It is particularly valuable for those using AWS to develop, deploy, and operate their applications. Prior knowledge of public cloud, architecting highly available infrastructure and applications, software development, deployment, and DevOps practices is assumed.
