MicroNugget: What Are Some AWS Best Practices?

In this video, Jeremy Cioara covers his five best practices for using Amazon Web Services (AWS). These include redundant design, loose coupling, emphasizing elasticity, never neglecting security, and employing parallel processing wherever you can. Adopting these will ensure you get the most out of AWS.

AWS provides phenomenal capabilities, and you can accentuate these if you follow a few simple best practices.

Jeremy begins by talking about employing a redundant design, avoiding any single points of failure.

Second, you’ll want to leverage a concept known as “loose coupling,” which emphasizes a more distributed system where each application component is as independent of the others as possible.

This allows you to capitalize on the third best practice, which is an elastic design that enables you to grow and shrink your infrastructure as-needed.

All of this will be compromised if you don’t focus on security. AWS is designed around the concept of shared responsibility, which requires you to be aware of what falls on your side of the ledger and take it seriously.

Finally, remember that things work better in parallel, and you can use parallel processing with elastic principles to accomplish your goals more quickly.
