To ensure that applications are reliable and always available, more businesses today are moving applications to AWS. But many companies still struggle to design and build these cloud applications effectively, thinking that because the cloud is resilient, their applications will be too. With this practical guide, software, DevOps, and cloud engineers will learn how to implement resilient designs and configurations in the cloud using hands-on independent labs. Authors Kevin Schwarz, Jennifer Moran, and Dr. Nate Bachmeier from AWS teach you how to build cloud applications that demonstrate resilience with patterns like back off and retry, multi-Region failover, data protection, and circuit breaker with common configuration, tooling, and deployment scenarios. Labs are organized into categories based on complexity and topic, making it easy for you to focus on the most relevant parts of your business. Python has a useful feature called a “virtual environment,” which helps you avoid compatibility issues when loading dependencies for a project. We suggest using a Python virtual environment with the projects for this book to avoid “dependency collisions” where other Python projects you may be working on require different dependency versions. If you plan to run the microservice resilience lessons in this book, you’ll need several other third-party software frameworks. Those include Python packages, which will be installed in your virtual environment so that they will not affect other projects you may be running. Additionally, you’ll need a few other command-line tools to run the lessons from your terminal.
