AWS Infrastructure (officially called AWS Global Infrastructure or AWS Infrastructure Regions & Availability Zones). This is the physical & logical foundation everything else sits on — EC2, S3, Lambda, VPC, databases, you name it....

AWS Additional Compute First things first — “AWS Additional Compute” is not an official standalone service name like EC2, Lambda, or Fargate. It’s not something you search for in the AWS console and click...

AWS Fargate If you’ve been following along, we already talked about containers (the lightweight, portable tiffin boxes), ECS (AWS’s simple orchestrator), and EKS (the full Kubernetes version). Today we’re focusing on Fargate — the...
