Building Resilient Architectures on AWS: A practical guide to architecting cost-efficient, resilient solutions in AWS

Unlock the power of AWS to create resilient cloud architectures on AWS and operate your business efficiently using best practicesKey FeaturesTransform chaos into reliability with real-world case studies and cutting-edge methods to design robust AWS architecturesMinimize downtime and protect business revenue through battle-tested architectural strategiesImplement scalable architecture solutions on AWS using proven patterns and best practicesPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionBuilding 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 learnMaster the key concepts and principles of building resilience in the cloudArchitect modern applications using serverless and containers following best practicesUse the AWS Well-Architected Framework to build durable architecturesAnticipate operational events with chaos engineering techniquesUnderstand when and how to use multi-region and cell-based architecturesAttain highly efficient and reliable workload architectures on AWSNavigate the collaborative approach of the AWS Shared ResponsibilityWho this book is forThe 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.Table of ContentsUnderstanding Resilience ConceptsImplementing Resilient Compute and Auto ScalingSecuring and Backing Up Critical DataOrchestrating Graceful DegradationExploring the AWS Shared Responsibility ModelLearning AWS Well-Architected Principles for ResiliencyArchitecting Fault-Tolerant ApplicationsResiliency Considerations for Serverless ApplicationsUsing Containers to Improve ResiliencyResilient Architectures Across RegionsExamples of Resilient ArchitectureObservability, Auditing, and Continuous ImprovementPerforming Chaos Engineering TestingDisaster Recovery Planning and TestingFinalize Building Resilient Architecture Using AWS Resilience Services Read more
