The Illustrated AWS Cloud

INTRODUCTION

You might have heard of Cloud computing and have wondered how it pertains to you. You may be familiar with how you consume Cloud services, which happens every time you commit code to a remote repository, order a pizza via a mobile app, or review a book you bought on Amazon, but you'd like to go deeper and learn how to build in the Cloud. It's an exciting field in which to specialize, and one way you can do so is by diving into the basics that will help you get started working in the Cloud. This book focuses on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud, comprised of more than 200 services delivered from a global network of data centers into your own home and office seamlessly, securely, and in a cost-effective, scalable manner.

This book guides your knowledge of how you can become a Cloud practitioner in the AWS Cloud, focusing first on basics that pertain to Cloud computing in general and then diving deeper into the most typical services you'll encounter in the AWS Cloud as you boost your knowledge of Cloud computing. By the end of the book, you will be well on your way to passing the AWS Cloud Practitioner Exam, a foundational exam that helps you embark on your career in Cloud computing. The book assumes no knowledge of Cloud computing, just a curiosity about what you can do in the Cloud and how AWS can help you achieve your goals.
