AWS from Zero to Production

AWS cloud computing from scratch to production. DevOps beginners and experienced engineers alike will learn core AWS services, networking, storage, and deploying real workloads. This hands-on guide covers everything from setting up your first EC2 instance to designing resilient architectures with VPCs, S3, and IAM. You'll master cloud infrastructure fundamentals, automate deployments, and build CI/CD pipelines without fluff. Unlike The DevOps Handbook, Second Edition by Gene Kim and Cloud Native DevOps with Kubernetes by John Arundel, this book focuses on practical AWS implementation—not theory. Start with zero experience and end with production-ready skills. What You'll Learn Launch and manage EC2, Lambda, and Elastic Beanstalk Design secure VPCs, subnets, and security groups Store and serve data with S3, RDS, and DynamoDB Automate infrastructure with CloudFormation and Terraform Monitor costs, performance, and security with CloudWatch Deploy containerized apps on ECS and EKS Why This Book?

You'll build a complete application—from development to deployment—while avoiding common pitfalls. Whether you're a developer, sysadmin, or student, this book bridges the gap between learning and doing. No prior cloud experience required.
