Book Description

The hybrid edge specialty is often misunderstood because it began with an on-premises-focused view encompassing everything not running inside the traditional data center. If you too have workloads that need to live on premises and need a solution to bridge the gap between both worlds, this book will show you how AWS Outposts allows workloads to leverage the benefits of the cloud running on top of AWS technology.

In this book, you'll learn what the Edge space is, the capabilities to look for when selecting a solution to operate in this realm, and how AWS Outposts delivers. The use cases for Outposts are thoroughly explained and the physical characteristics are detailed alongside the service logical constructs and facility requirements. You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of the sales process―from order placement to rack delivery to your location. As you advance, you'll explore how AWS Outposts works in real life with step-by-step examples using AWS CLI and AWS Console before concluding your journey with an extensive overview of security and business continuity for maximizing the value delivered by the product.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to create compelling hybrid architectures, solve complex use cases for hybrid scenarios, and get ready for your way forward with the help of expert guidance.

Quite a lot has happened: Heroic days learning Microsoft Office Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and creating macros with Microsoft Excel 5.0, transitioning to Visual Basic 3.0 and ending developer career at Visual Basic 6.0 when he was invited to begin as SysAdmin in 1997. A lot more water under the bridge and the on-premises stint ended in 2018 with an invitation to join AWS as a Cloud Support Engineer. Since then, it all has been hard work while having fun and making history. He came full circle joining AWS Outposts team to flex his on-premises muscles once again. When he is not working for AWS, he is working accompanied by music.
