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.

You'll learn how to:

Configure and deploy AWS services using resilience patterns
Implement stateless microservices for high availability
Consider multi-Region designs to meet business requirements
Implement backup and restore, pilot light, warm standby, and active-active strategies
Build applications that withstand AWS Region and Availability Zone impairments
Use chaos engineering experiments for fault injection to test for resilience
Assess the trade-offs when building resilient systems, including cost, complexity, and operational burden

From the Publisher

From the Preface

The need for resilient systems has reached unprecedented levels. This book explores the nuances of designing and implementing durable systems on Amazon Web Services (AWS). As technology becomes integral to enhancing customer experiences across industries, creating high-performing and resilient systems has become a top priority. Users now expect applications to be continuously available, raising the bar for system reliability.

Two key trends drive this book’s purpose: the increasing complexity of modern infrastructures and the growing importance of system reliability. As systems become more intricate, potential failure points multiply. Simultaneously, the costs associated with downtime or data loss have increased significantly. In this landscape, traditional approaches to system resilience fall short.

Many assume that cloud-based workloads are inherently resilient. While cloud infrastructure provides tools for building more robust systems, it doesn’t guarantee resilience. Effectively using the cloud demands a thorough understanding of both the platform and resilient architecture principles. This book aims to bridge this knowledge gap by examining best practices, architectural patterns, and a real-world example workload. It serves as a comprehensive guide for engineers, architects, and IT professionals.

Resilience encompasses more than just technology; it involves people and processes as well. While the book primarily focuses on hands-on technology, Part I reviews people and process aspects, covering best practices for change management, failure handling, and incident response. We recognize that even with solid technology, inadequate people and processes can hinder achieving true resilience.

The book begins by exploring fundamental resilience principles and their relevance in today’s IT landscape. It then examines how AWS can help customers build more resilient workloads by leveraging its services and orchestrating them to create systems that withstand impairments. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, offering step-by-step guidance and insights from extensive field experience. Whether you’re an experienced AWS practitioner or new to the platform, this book aims to equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to build enduring systems.

Engineering Resilient Systems on AWS: Design, Build, and Test for Resilience

By emphasizing practical implementation and providing a holistic understanding of resilient system design, this book serves as a valuable resource for professionals working with AWS. The inclusion of a fictitious financial consumer application offers a real-world context for the discussed principles and strategies. Our goal is to contribute to a future where building resilience into systems becomes instinctive and central to exceptional system design. The skills and strategies you gain from this book will empower you to build more resilient systems from the outset.
