Launch Date is fixed 📅 & Infographic Surprise 🎉


Launch Date is fixed & Two new Infographics 🍾

Hi Cloud Friends 👋🏽,

first of all, happy new year!

Good news for the start of the year: We settled on a launch date.

We will launch AWS Fundamentals on the 16th of January 🎉

Let's see some details of the launch like packages, prices, and table of content.

Packages

We offer two packages.

Package 1 - The Book

The first package is the actual book. The book has more than 330 pages and is full of AWS knowledge.

We focussed on practical advice on how to actually use AWS.

Some key points:

  1. Getting Started on AWS (MFA, Root Account, Billing, Shared Responsibility)
  2. Core Building Blocks of AWS (16 most important services)
  3. Infrastructure as Code with CloudFormation, CDK, Serverless

Package 2 - The Book + Infographics

The second package contains of the book plus all infographics. The infographics are unbranded and created in high quality. With that you can simply print them out and hang them up in your office. Never forget any configuration 😉

We've created infographics for all 16 services

You can see both packages here​

The prices for the packages will be $39.99 and $59.99. As a thank you for the ongoing support and as a celebration for the launch we will offer a 25% discount once we launch.

The prices will then be:

  1. The Book - $39.99 -> $29.00
  2. Book + Infographics - 59.99 -> $44.99

Table of Contents

Now lets have a look about the whole table of contents:

  1. Introduction
  2. Getting Started
  3. AWS Core Building Blocks for All Applications
  4. Define & Deploy Your Cloud Infrastructure with Infrastructure-As-Code

The full table of content is available here.
​

EventBridge & RDS Infographics

We created two new infographics. One for creating managed SQL databased with RDS. And a second one for building serverless Event-Driven Architectures with EventBridge. You get them first!

Stay Tuned

You will be the first we will message once we launch (together with our Discord Server of course). We will start the launch with a short discount period for everybody who supported us as a thank you 🙏🏽

Thanks & see you soon
Sandro & Tobi 👋🏽

What we built, what it cost and what we think of it are our own.
