Engineering Resilient Systems on AWS: Design, Build, and Test for Resilience. Kevin Schwarz, Jennifer Moran

Description of Engineering Resilient Systems on AWS: Design, Build, and Test for Resilience by Kevin Schwarz and Jennifer Moran

Engineering Resilient Systems on AWS provides a comprehensive guide to designing, building, and testing resilient systems using Amazon Web Services (AWS). Authored by Kevin Schwarz and Jennifer Moran, this book is an invaluable resource for engineers and architects seeking to ensure their applications can withstand failures, recover quickly, and continue delivering value to users.

    Key Topics Covered:

• Principles of Resilience: Introduction to resilience concepts and their application in cloud environments, focusing on fault tolerance, high availability, and disaster recovery.
• AWS Architecture Patterns: In-depth coverage of AWS services and architecture patterns that support resilient, scalable, and secure systems, including EC2, S3, and AWS Lambda.
• Designing for Failure: How to design systems with the assumption that failures will happen, and the best practices for minimizing their impact.
• Building Resilient Applications: Techniques for ensuring data integrity, redundancy, and continuous availability across AWS services.
• Testing for Resilience: Methods for testing the resilience of your systems through chaos engineering, automated recovery simulations, and load testing.
• Monitoring and Optimization: How to monitor system health, perform root cause analysis, and optimize for performance and cost efficiency.

    What Makes This Book Unique:

• Practical Guidance: Real-world examples and case studies that demonstrate how to implement resilient systems in AWS.
• Holistic Approach: Covers the full lifecycle of resilient system development, from architecture and design to testing and maintenance.
• Proven Strategies: Learn best practices from experienced AWS architects and engineers on how to build systems that deliver high uptime and performance.

    Who Should Read This Book?

• AWS engineers and cloud architects responsible for designing and maintaining mission-critical systems.
• DevOps teams and site reliability engineers (SREs) looking to implement resilience in their cloud-based infrastructure.
• IT professionals and system architects interested in improving their understanding of resilient architectures on AWS.

    Why Read This Book?
Engineering Resilient Systems on AWS provides both the theory and hands-on guidance required to build systems that can handle and recover from failures effectively. With practical examples and a focus on AWS-specific tools, this book is essential for anyone who wants to master resilience in the cloud and ensure the reliability of their critical applications.
