AWS

AWS is the world's largest cloud computing platform, with hundreds of services covering everything from computing and storage to machine learning and IoT. New services are constantly being launched, and trying to keep up with everything is an impossible task.

The goal of this section is not to teach cloud from scratch. For that, the best approach is to study for AWS official certifications (such as Cloud Practitioner, Solutions Architect, or Security Specialty), which provide a solid and structured foundation on platform fundamentals.

Here we'll gather topics related to AWS architecture and resources that are part of the daily work of those in DevSecOps and Platform Engineering. These are the services you'll find in virtually any production environment — the ones that appear in architecture diagrams, CI/CD pipelines, incident runbooks, and security policies.

The focus is on the most commonly used resources, those that form the foundation for virtually all other AWS services. Understanding well how VPC, IAM, EC2, S3, RDS, EKS work, for example, is what allows you to understand any other service AWS launches, because they're all built on these same fundamentals. How they work, when to use them, best practices, and the architecture decisions that impact security, cost, and operations. We don't aim to cover the entire AWS catalog — we focus on what's relevant for practical work.

The articles here don't follow a logical or progressive sequence. This section works as a reference — topics are created as needed by other project documentation. When a Kubernetes, security, IaC, or any other area article needs to explain an AWS concept, the detailed explanation lives here and the original article makes the reference.

In the future, when there's enough content volume, this section will be restructured to offer a more chronological and progressive foundation, organizing topics in a sequence that makes sense for those learning from scratch.
