Leverage AWS CloudFormation templates to manage your entire infrastructure

Get up and running with writing your infrastructure as code and automating your environment

Simplify infrastructure management and increase productivity with AWS CloudFormation

Description

DevOps and the cloud revolution have forced software engineers and operations teams to rethink how to manage infrastructures. With this AWS book, you'll understand how you can use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to simplify IT operations and manage the modern cloud infrastructure effectively with AWS CloudFormation. This comprehensive guide will help you explore AWS CloudFormation from template structures through to developing complex and reusable infrastructure stacks. You'll then delve into validating templates, deploying stacks, and handling deployment failures. The book will also show you how to leverage AWS CodeBuild and CodePipeline to automate resource delivery and apply continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices to the stack. As you advance, you'll learn how to generate templates on the fly using macros and create resources outside AWS with custom resources. Finally, you'll improve the way you manage the modern cloud in AWS by extending CloudFormation using AWS serverless application model (SAM) and AWS cloud development kit (CDK). By the end of this book, you'll have mastered all the major AWS CloudFormation concepts and be able to simplify infrastructure management.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

AWS infrastructure as code has a native solution, CloudFormation. This JSON or YAML based coding system (I use YAML because I don't like typing brackets out), enables you to launch several AWS services at once (and tear them down at once). This is a good first reference before you start deep diving the Amazon documentation.

Raymond Hill Jul 28, 2020

For transparency sake, this book was given to me (for free) by someone promoting the book on LinkedIn.About me: I have almost two decades of experience in IT. About half of that is on the support side, the other half is split between software engineering and devops work. Enough about me, on with the review!The first thing I noticed right away was the language the book starts with. It's not beginner language at all, which is okay. From what I've read it's not supposed to target beginners and instead has a target audience of a somewhat experienced engineer attempting to learn more about CloudFormation, specifically. But this may not be clear to beginners upon reading the sample pages or the index.I also appreciate the brevity of the history lessons in here. I do like learning the 'Why' behind the what, but often authors can get caught up in the history of the subject and lose sight of the subject itself. Thankfully the author does not do this! The quick 'Why' leads directly into the 'What' and we, the readers, get the chance to learn both - but spend significantly more time on the 'What' which is the reason we're all here reading this book.The author starts with a CloudFormation Refresher, which is... refreshing. The links all seem to go where they're supposed to, which is also a rare find for me. Maybe I just have really bad luck with e-books! There is a supplementary code download that comes with the book but there is also a GitHub repository associated with the book and several videos on YouTube as well! Plenty of decent content to help any type of learner consume the material. Lots of good examples in the text as well.As the chapters move on, the content definitely gets deeper and heavier. The further reading sections at the end of each chapter help lighten the burden on the author and provide yet another outlet for the reader to consume more information on the topics covered in the chapter in order to reinforce their learning.One of the few things I didn't like about the book was the focus on the specific cfn-lint tool rather than exploring the general traits of a good linter and what they do, with suggestions for some linters at the end. We don't know how long cfn-lint will remain around, so it will certainly date the book. The other issue I had, which I have with most books written on AWS, is the EC2-centric model they all seem to adopt. I understand it, but there are so many other ways to get your code out there and running in the real world without having to directly create a single EC2 instance. All that said, I think it's admirable that the author attempts to talk about both validation and linting, as these are typically extremely underrepresented topics in most tech books that aren't specifically about validation, linting, and/or testing. And I certainly understand that everyone has to start somewhere, and that somewhere is typically on an EC2 or Elastic Beanstalk.Despite my previous two nagging comments, this book definitely makes for a great map along the long and winding road to becoming a successful Dev*Ops Engineer on the AWS platform.

Great book. Good overall coverage of cloud formation with plenty of examples and code.

Amazon Customer Oct 05, 2020

Jumps in at the deep-end, so you need some prior learning, but gets to grips with lots of real world usage. Also talks about the latest AWS tooling like CDK and SAM.

I may change this review later, as I'm going through the book now.So far, I've got a bit stuck - the first chapter is a 'refresher' about CloudFormation. OK, so I did a udemy course on AWS developer associate, and it's not alien to me, but it was a bit of a deep end start. That's ok.However, further into chapter one, I'm suffering because the kindle app doesn't seem to do fixed width fonts. So, when typing in yaml files, which rely on spacing, I'm failing all over the place because I don't know which indents are level with each other and which aren't. I'm guessing there's a git download somewhere - will have to look for it.Saying that, there aren't many books on CloudFormation to choose from.Edit: cloned the github repo for the book - found I'd guessed the indentation ok - the iamrole example still doesn't work, even if I use the repo file. I'm a bit stuffed now. There's a Learn CloudFormation book which I'll have to get I think. The problem with kindle is I can't return or sell-on the book. So much expense to learn something that isn't documented that well, afaik.
