Why AWS?
AWS has become the backbone of modern cloud computing, offering an immense suite of services that enable businesses to scale, innovate, and operate more efficiently. However, the learning curve can be steep, and without the right guidance, it’s easy to get lost. That’s where CloudPlaybook comes in.
I'll help you navigate through key AWS services like EC2, S3, Lambda, CloudFormation, and more, providing you with best practices, cost optimization strategies, and security tips.
What’s Coming Next?
In the upcoming posts, we’ll kick things off with cost optimization strategies in AWS—because, let’s be honest, AWS can get expensive if not managed properly. We’ll explore how to track costs, set budgets, and avoid unnecessary expenses, all while keeping your infrastructure efficient.
After that, we’ll dive into EC2 and S3, covering best practices for using them effectively and introducing a few fun side projects along the way. Stay tuned for tips on automating your AWS environment with tools like CloudFormation and Lambda as well.
