Welcome to the AWS Cloud From Scratch repository! This repo is your go-to resource for building a solid foundation in Amazon Web Services (AWS). Whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your skills, you'll find everything you need here to get hands-on with the most crucial AWS services, particularly for a career in DevOps.
This repository is structured into folders, each focusing on a key AWS service. Here's what you'll find:
💻 EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud): Virtual servers to run your applications, with tutorials on instance management, Auto Scaling, and cost optimization.
-
📦 S3 (Simple Storage Service): Scalable object storage for data backup, hosting static websites, and more.
-
🔐 IAM (Identity and Access Management): Manage user access and encryption keys securely.
-
🗄️ RDS (Relational Database Service): Managed databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL with automatic backups and scaling.
-
🌐 VPC (Virtual Private Cloud): Isolated network environments with subnets, route tables, and internet gateways.
-
🐳 ECS (Elastic Container Service): Run and manage Docker containers at scale, including Fargate for serverless containers.
-
🎯 ECR (Elastic Container Registry): Store, manage, and deploy Docker images easily and securely.
-
⚡ Lambda: Serverless computing to run code in response to events without provisioning servers.
-
📜 CloudFormation: Automate infrastructure deployment using templates for repeatable and scalable environments.
-
🔍 CloudWatch: Monitor and observe your AWS resources and applications with metrics, logs, and alarms.
-
💬 SQS & SNS (Simple Queue Service & Simple Notification Service): Messaging services for decoupling and scaling applications.
-
📊 CloudTrail: Track user activity and API usage across your AWS infrastructure for auditing and security.
-
🔑 Secrets Manager: Securely store and manage sensitive information like database credentials and API keys.
-
🛡️ Load Balancer: Distribute incoming traffic across multiple targets for fault tolerance and high availability.
-
📈 Auto Scaling Group: Automatically adjust the number of EC2 instances based on demand to maintain performance.
-
☸️ EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service): Managed Kubernetes to run containerized applications with ease.
Each folder contains hands-on tutorials, examples, and best practices to ensure you're ready to apply what you learn in real-world scenarios.
