Most Terraform tutorials stop at "it works on my account". This book covers the next part: getting AWS ready for real users, and keeping it safe when things go wrong.
Over 13 chapters, you go from an empty AWS account to a production platform:
- Terraform state that can't be lost, and guards that stop you touching the wrong account
- A VPC with private subnets and security groups that allow only what's needed
- CloudFront and AWS WAF in front of a load balancer that trusts only your CloudFront
- Auto Scaling groups that heal themselves
- RDS and ElastiCache with encryption, backups and deletion protection
- Secrets without SSH, monitoring, budgets and CI/CD for Terraform
- How to choose between Single-AZ and Multi-AZ, and how to load-test before launch
Every chapter explains what I chose, what I rejected and why. Each one ends with a checklist and the common mistakes to avoid.
You get the PDF and EPUB, all diagrams and checklists, and free updates for 12 months. Written for Terraform 1.11+ and AWS provider 6.x.
Who it's for: engineers who know the AWS basics and want to run production infrastructure properly. It isn't for complete beginners or exam prep.
