Compute: EC2, Lambda & Auto Scaling
Match every workload to the right compute — EC2, Lambda, or Auto Scaling — and slash your bill with Spot, Savings Plans, and On-Demand.
Storage: S3, EBS & Instance Store
Store data smarter across S3 classes, EBS volumes, and instance store — balancing durability, latency, cost, and what survives a stop.
Networking: VPC, Subnets, NAT & Security
Wire up a production VPC with public and private subnets, NAT, and route tables, then lock it down with Security Groups and Network ACLs.

Chapter 1 review — Core infrastructure: compute, storage, networking
Lab: Stand up a resilient 3-tier web app · 10-question check
IAM & Security: Policies, Roles & Evaluation
Lock down access with least-privilege IAM policies and roles, and master the evaluation logic where an explicit deny always wins.
Databases: RDS & DynamoDB
Pick relational RDS or NoSQL DynamoDB with confidence, and know exactly when Multi-AZ buys availability versus when read replicas buy scale.
Resilience & high availability
Architect systems that shrug off failure using Multi-AZ, Auto Scaling, load balancing, and Route 53, then plan DR to your RTO and RPO.
