AWS Cloud Architecture and Services
Amazon Web Services provides over 200 cloud services, but building cost-effective, secure, and scalable architectures requires understanding core primitives like IAM, VPC networking, compute options, and managed data stores.
The resources below cover practical patterns for serverless deployments, container orchestration on ECS and EKS, infrastructure security with IAM and KMS, and cost optimization strategies for production AWS workloads.
Every resource includes clear explanations, copy-paste code, and practical warnings. Use them to make informed decisions, avoid production pitfalls, and speed up your delivery. If you are just getting started, read the beginner-friendly articles first; if you are experienced, jump straight to the advanced patterns and architecture guides. New resources are added regularly, so bookmark this page and check back for the latest patterns.
