Everything you need to get running with IaaS for Amazon Web Services Modern businesses rely on Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)—a setup in which someone else foots the bill to create application environments—and developers are expected to know how to write both platform-specific and IaaS-supported applications. If you're a developer who writes desktop and web applications but have little-to-no experience with cloud development, this book is an essential tool in getting started in the IaaS environment with Amazon Web Services.
In Amazon Web Services For Developers For Dummies, you'll quickly and easily get up to speed on which language or platform will work best to meet a specific need, how to work with management consoles, ways you'll interact with services at the command line, how to create applications with the AWS API, and so much more.
Assess development options to produce the kind of result that's actually needed Use the simplest approach to accomplish any given task Automate tasks using something as simple as the batch processing features offered by most platforms Create example applications using JavaScript, Python, and R Discover how to use the XML files that appear in the management console to fine tune your configuration Making sense of Amazon Web Services doesn't have to be as difficult as it seems—and this book shows you how.
While I may not be as big of a fan of AWS as other cloud systems (ahem, Azure), it is important to note that AWS is one of the leading cloud platforms on the market and is used by many businesses and developers worldwide.
With that being said, this book a comprehensive guide to using AWS for development projects. Mueller is a highly regarded author and expert in the field of technology, and his expertise is evident throughout the book.
The book covers all the important AWS features that developers need to know, including how to set up and use AWS, working with EC2 instances, and using AWS for storage, networking, and security.
While I may not have been as impressed with AWS's offerings as other cloud systems, it is worth noting that AWS has a wide range of tools and services that are highly customizable and flexible. AWS also has a robust community of users and developers, making it easy to find support and resources online.
Overall, AWS for Developers For Dummies is a valuable resource for developers who are looking to learn more about AWS and its features.
While I prefer other cloud systems, it is important to understand the capabilities of AWS and how it can be used in development projects.
I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about AWS. It is a solid guidebook.
