EC2 Architecture via AWS Console
For better understanding building out AWS architecture, and to include my using an architectural diagram to guide my efforts (bear with me, this is my fledgling attempt so it’s a bit rough!).

AWS Console: VPC+SN+SG+EC2+RT
In this post, I’m going to detail my journey building out this infrastructure. Here’s the goal: The goal is to practice a few things besides the deployment of these resources: INTRO: There’s a lot of directions that this project can grow, but the scope for this particular project is limited in scope: the ability for…

EBS and EC2
I’m exploring with EBS volumes – that is, Elastic Block Storage – and there are some interesting characteristics that I’ve discovered.

That worked great but tbh I have been spending most of my…

AWS CloudFormation
I’m working on learning AWS by systematically reading through “Amazon Web Services In Action, 3rd edition”, by Michael Wittig and Andreas Wittig. There are so many resources that are available, and it’s easy to get pulled here and there – but I find this book to be pretty thorough without being too detailed or confusing,…

Working with AWS CLI
Currently I’m learning Docker containers and Terraform, but at the same time, working directly with AWS API using the command line interface is good to know on a low-level way too. So in this post I’m going to describe how I set up installing the AWS CLI on my macOS in case I need to…

Terraform: Creating AutoScaling Group for EC2 Server
Hi there, this is part III of posts where I explore using Terraform to first create an EC2 instance, which was then continued in the last post, ‘Terraform: Creating configurable server’. Now, let’s talk about creating an autoscaling group, because right now we just have the one server, which could be a risk if the…
