Designing Secure Microservices Architectures in AWS

Welcome to the sixth chapter, which also kicks off the second part of our extensive guide to AWS security, titled Architecting and Deploying Secure AWS Environments. This part aims to deepen your expertise in designing secure AWS infrastructures, focusing on advanced subjects such as microservices, serverless computing, multi-tenancy, and infrastructure as code (IaC).
