Introducing AWS Core Services for DevOps

Let’s focus on AWS and explore how AWS provides a suite of services for every development and deployment lifecycle phase. We’ll take a brief look at each service in this lesson.

While using AWS services, all the core AWS DevOps services except Cloud9 are managed services, meaning AWS takes care of the underlying infrastructure. This is a big benefit for system administrators who burn countless hours patching, upgrading, and enhancing the servers. Anytime a server goes through this upgrade process, it needs to be brought down, and the application availability suffers. With AWS managing these services behind the scenes, we can be assured that our application will be highly available.
