Cloud Architecture Spine With AWS
This part makes AWS coherent before service selection begins. It connects cloud responsibilities, infrastructure boundaries, service models, and the AWS Well-Architected Framework into one decision spine.
What You Will Learn
Explain AWS without listing unrelated products.
Place responsibilities across accounts, Regions, Availability Zones, networks, services, and teams.
Recognize how managed services change—but do not erase—customer responsibility.
Use Well-Architected questions to expose trade-offs and risks.
Chapters
Cloud Architecture Responsibilities in AWS — begin with ownership, constraints, and responsibility placement.
AWS Global Infrastructure and Shared Responsibility — connect geography and service models to availability and customer duties.
AWS Well-Architected as a Decision Model — turn framework pillars into practical review questions.
How the Chapters Connect
The first chapter establishes the AWS operating model. The second places it on physical and service responsibility boundaries. The third supplies a repeatable method for reviewing the resulting design.
