If you have wanted to learn about the Amazon Cloud Computing platform, more popularly known as Amazon Web Services (AWS), then, this book is for you. If you are new to AWS, the large number of AWS services can be overwhelming and confusing. I wrote this book to introduce you to AWS using a hands-on approach. Rather than just read about the services and features of AWS or cram for an AWS certification exam by memorizing facts that you will soon forget, I believe that the best way to learn and retain information about a new technology is to roll up your sleeves and get your "hands dirty" by actually doing a series of meaningful hands-on exercises. This book uses a hands-on approach to learning about AWS. The chapters introduce you to concepts that you need to know about a service followed by a series of guided hands-on exercises that explain these concepts. Where relevant, screen captures are provided so that having done the hands-on exercises at least once, you can mentally walk through the steps and use the screen captures or command output to reinforce your learning. This book provides in-depth coverage of a wide range of topics that can be helpful to the end user, business owner, business executive, IT support staff, DevOps or software developer. You can use the knowledge that you gain from this book to get a deep understanding of how AWS can reduce the networking and computing costs for supporting your business from a small web site to a highly reliable, secure, flexible, scalable, high performance computing infrastructure with minimal support.This is the first of a three volume series. In this, volume 1, you will gain a deep understanding of AWS by learning about Amazon Compuing Resources such as S3 Glacier, RDS, DynamoDB, DocumentDB, Neptune, RedShift, ElastiCache, EBS, EFS, FSx
