Summary
AWS continues to grow the number of services that it offers all the time. We have gone over quite a few of the services in this chapter, although briefly, but have only covered many of the essential services that are used to host and serve applications running on the AWS platform.
In this chapter, we reviewed the foundational services offered by AWS. It will be these services, along with the others we will look at in the rest of part one, that we will use as the pieces of deployment in our DevOps journey. Having foundational knowledge of these services can let us do more from a development and deployment objective, and it also helps us when digesting the questions being asked on the DevOps professional exam, along with the scenarios being presented to us in our day-to-day professional lives.
In the next chapter, we are going to examine identity and access management, the basis for securing our AWS cloud account and assets.
