AWS Foundations

The First Ninety Days, Done Properly

By Sam Okonkwo

AWSFoundationalArchitectureCertification

Starting on AWS is disorienting because the service catalog is presented as a flat list when it is really a small number of primitives with many packagings.

This book compresses the first ninety days: the identity model, the compute and storage primitives, the networking basics you cannot avoid, and the operational habits that prevent the classic beginner incidents.

Written to be read in order, once, and then set down.

What you'll learn

  • Build an accurate mental model of AWS primitives and their packagings
  • Set up accounts and identity correctly from day one
  • Avoid the classic beginner incidents around billing, IAM, and public buckets
  • Know which service to reach for without searching the catalog
