This starts a series of posts about devops where we'll be leveraging AWS to solve some common situations that arise when running apps on the cloud. In this post we will go over a very simple set up: A web server hooked into a database for persistence. While very far from a real production situation this setup is a good starting place to learn about AWS fundamental tools. The concepts I'll be going over today include:
- Amazon Regions
- EC2 instance
- AMI
- Security Groups
- SSH
- Manual Dependencies installation
