AWS from Zero to Production
Deploy and Scale Cloud Apps with AWS Automation and CI/CDBy Lena KesslerLength7h 51m
About this audiobook
AWS cloud computing from scratch to production. DevOps beginners and experienced engineers alike will learn core AWS services, networking, storage, and deploying real workloads. This hands-on guide covers everything from setting up your first EC2 instance to designing resilient architectures with VPCs, S3, and IAM. You'll master cloud infrastructure fundamentals, automate deployments, and build CI/CD pipelines without fluff. Unlike The DevOps Handbook, Second Edition by Gene Kim and Cloud Native DevOps with Kubernetes by John Arundel, this book focuses on practical AWS implementation—not theory. Start with zero experience and end with production-ready skills.
What You'll Learn
Launch and manage EC2, Lambda, and Elastic Beanstalk
Design secure VPCs, subnets, and security groups
Store and serve data with S3, RDS, and DynamoDB
Automate infrastructure with CloudFormation and Terraform
Monitor costs, performance, and security with CloudWatch
Deploy containerized apps on ECS and EKS
Why This Book?
Most AWS books drown you in theory. AWS from Zero to Production gives you step-by-step labs, real-world examples, and troubleshooting tips. You'll build a complete application—from development to deployment—while avoiding common pitfalls. Whether you're a developer, sysadmin, or student, this book bridges the gap between learning and doing. No prior cloud experience required.

Developers moving to the cloud
DevOps engineers expanding their AWS skills
