Learn AWS DevOps from Zero: A Complete Beginner’s Guide

AWS DevOps combines the power of Amazon Web Services (AWS) with DevOps practices to accelerate software development and deployment.
DevOps is a methodology that encourages collaboration between development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams.
AWS stands out for DevOps due to its scalability, variety of managed services, pay-as-you-go pricing, and high security standards.
Before diving into AWS DevOps, it’s essential to understand the basics of cloud computing.
To implement DevOps on AWS, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the essential tools for version control, build automation, deployment, and pipeline management.
AWS CodeCommit is a secure, fully managed source control service for hosting Git repositories on AWS.
AWS CodeBuild is a managed build service that compiles source code, runs tests, and packages software.
AWS CodeDeploy automates the deployment of applications to various compute services (like EC2 and Lambda) and enables control over the deployment process.
AWS CodePipeline is a CI/CD service for automating the software release process, defining a pipeline of steps (source, build, deploy) for releasing code.
Implementing CI/CD on AWS requires integrating services like CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline.

AWS Compute - Part 1: virtual machines (VMs)

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) provides virtual servers called EC2 instances with compute capacity in the cloud.
When launching an EC2 instance, the first setting is selecting an Amazon Machine Image (AMI).
EC2 instances differ based on performance with each instance type consisting of a prefix identifying the type of optimized workload.
Instances can be placed in specific Availability Zones, with at least two instances in separate zones.
EC2 instance lifecycle consists of different states (pending, running, stopping and stopped, restarting, and terminating).
AWS offers pricing options based on workloads such as On-Demand Instances, Spot Instances, Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, and Dedicated Hosts.
On-Demand Instances provide pay-per-use with no upfront costs, while Spot Instances offer lower prices for computing capacity that can be interrupted.
Savings Plans offer low usage prices with a commitment to a consistent amount of usage, while Reserved Instances offer up to 72% savings for consistent usage with a reserved capacity.
Dedicated Hosts are physical EC2 servers useful for reducing costs when using existing server-bound software licenses.
EC2 instances can be created and managed through various AWS management tools and automation services.
