Preface
Welcome to the Introduction to AWS IaaS solutions guide. The goal of this guide is to introduce systems administrators, systems architects, and newcomers to Amazon Web Services (AWS) to some powerful core offerings on the AWS platform.
You will learn common terms, design patterns, and some specific examples of how to deploy Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solutions for compute, network, and storage to AWS using the AWS command-line interface (CLI) and the AWS web console. By the end, you will be able to launch and manage AWS solutions, including compute instances and storage, as well as understand the implications and requirements for security and access management for your IaaS resources on AWS.
Additional resources are provided throughout the guide for you to further explore some of the services and technical examples. Resources, code samples, and additional reading links for this guide are available online.
Thanks go out to the entire AWS technical community, the O’Reilly team, and my family for the help and guidance in creating this guide.
