Sorry about these intermittent breaks. My current client assignment involves me attending meetings for most of the working day, and I am strongly encouraged to study in my "spare time". After 8 hours in front of a computer, I tend to want to do anything else than sit in front of a computer... Ocassionally, like today, I get a moment to myself and can get stuck in.
VPCs and Networking in the AWS-SAA course have been way out of my comfort zone, so rather than learning the minimum to pass the exam, I took advantage of Udemy's sale and bought 15 hour courses on networking and security, respectively.
My employer has an O'Reilly account, and they have the latest edition of Infrastructure as Code by Kief Morris, so I'll be leafing through that too. Both of these resources highly applicable to our current client project, where we're about to inherit a system where there is no IaC in place, a single VPC, and very little in the way of security and compliance...
Networking
- Intro to the course
- Basics - overview and benefits of computer networks
IaC
- Preface It's fascinating to see how fast things have changed since the release of the first edition of this book five years ago - the emphasis being on making the business case for and managing IaC. Now that cloud has been largely adopted, this edition seems to be focussed on building IaC stacks.
