Best resource for learning AWS networking concepts

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

I wrote CloudMapper, an open-source tool for mapping AWS networks, and I'm learning a ton from reading this! This is not just a reference or something to blindly try to memorize in order to pass the specialty exam. This is actually a solid educational resource for actually learning AWS concepts. It expects you already know a lot of networking concepts and a lot about AWS. I get lost sometimes, but it's much easier and more comprehensive than trying to read the AWS whitepapers. Most AWS documents were written in isolation and have aged poorly, trying to tack on new information as things have changed, essentially feeling like you're reading a series of addendums. May books and other resources also feel this way. This is completely up-to-date as of 2018 as a coherent whole and ties all the networking concepts together.

Outstanding Study and Reference for AWS

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is outstanding for AWS networking. I have the AWS Certified Advanced Networking Specialty (and six other AWS certs) and I wish that this book existed last summer when I took the exam. I highly recommend this book to everyone whose goal is a deep understanding of AWS. My opinion is that the authors are truly subject matter experts who actually know how to write. The editors did a great job polishing this book. This is my favorite book of all the books I have about AWS.

Like the review title says: you should check out this book whether or not you'd ever go for the certs.

Anyone that's done advanced networking scenarios mentioned in this book can and should admit to themselves that there is some complexity to AWS (no matter how "easy" it is), and this book helps address those focal areas in a concise manner (vs. AWS docs, FAQs, and random web searches). While AWS is changing every few months, this book should remain relevant for years, due to the value in the core principles it covers.

Each chapter also has labs that you can do in AWS, as well as practice questions for the test.

Let's see what that covers, by chapter:

1. Introduction to AWS Networking:
50k ft. view basics

2. Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) and Networking Fundamentals - everything regarding VPC configuration
Anything associated with the VPC configuration panel goes here: subnets, route tables, IP addresses, security groups, network ACLs, gateways, NAT, and VPN. While this might seem like the part you'd "already know", it covers many critical aspects of core VPC fundamentals that should be present in your AWS architecture and design patterns. It also dips into VPC peering and endpoints, which are expanded upon later (when we get to the advanced portion)

3. Advanced Amazon VPC - VPC interconnectivity
This is where your experience possibly starts deviating from the book material. This chapter covers VPC endpoints in detail, AWS PrivateLink vs. VPC peering, and VPC resizing.

4. Virtual Private Networks - VPNs into your VPC
You will find Site-to-Site and Client VPNs in many scenarios in this chapter. These were helpful for me, because no end user or customer has every scenario, and this will undoubtedly give you some ideas, as well as provide some design patterns.

5. AWS Direct Connect - connecting your on-prem networks to AWS
Direct Connect is something that's easy enough to setup, once you get it. There's more of a prevalence of 3rd-party providers like Megaport providing Direct Connect access to AWS in different regions, so the basic Direct Connect documentation resources might not apply to you, and this will give you a better picture of where it fits in either way.

6. Domain Name System and Load Balancing - DNS with Route 53, and load balancing with Elastic Load Balancer (ELB)
This chapter starts off by covering DNS within a VPC, and moves to using AWS' Route 53 DNS services. These are included in the same chapter as load balancing, since both can used to dynamically direct traffic to AWS resources. If you've used traditional load balancing, this chapter on ELB is very similar, and if not, it's a good resource anyway. If Amazon was to test on these subjects, you can imagine that they'd have questions as to whether Route 53 or ELB would be a good scenario, and this chapter should help.

7. Amazon CloudFront - AWS' Content Delivery Network (CDN)
This relatively short chapter covers the basics of working with CDNs, and the advanced features AWS has that tie into the value of having existing resources on the platform. If you need a primer on CDNs in general, this is not the place.

8. Network Security - securing your AWS resources
While reading this chapter won't make you an AWS security expert, it does steer you into some basic principles and design patterns, as well as provides info on security-focused AWS services. It does provide a very comprehensive set of next steps via links to other info. While anyone building AWS environments should read this, the test takers want to focus on the shared responsibility model, which is prevalent in all AWS training I've seen.

9. Network Performance - a small collection of resources
This short chapter is a useful hodgepodge of resources, containing everything from performance through a VGW, Direct Connect circuit, etc. to EC2 advanced networking (available from HVM instance of Amazon Linux), including SR-IOV and Intel DPDK.

10. Network Automation - AWS CloudFormation, Network monitoring tools, and logging
If you're not experienced with infrastructure as code, this short chapter won't make you an expert. If you're studying, it will provide enough information you'd need for the test, and if you haven't used CloudFormation on Amazon yet, it's a good starting point.

11. Service Requirements - networking requirements for other AWS Services, like Workspaces or Lambda

12. Hybrid Architectures - advanced AWS networking design for on-prem and AWS resources
This chapter returns to more advanced networking scenarios between your on-premise resources and AWS, e.g. Direct Connect, using Transitive Routing, and transit VPC scenarios. If you have a hybrid cloud, or even just AWS and on-prem, you'll benefit from this chapter.

13. Network Troubleshooting - summary of troubleshooting with traditional tools and AWS tools
Covers AWS Direct Connect, Security Groups, Network ACLs, VPC peering, CloudFront, ELB, DNS, AWS service limits, and VPN / IKE with traditional and AWS-specific tools.

14. Biling - short chapter to help you understand how billing works for all of the AWS networking-centric services covered

15. Risk & Compliance - Risk Management for your AWS enivonment
First and foremost, this covers the AWS Services in Scope (compliance for external standards like PCI DSS) for AWS components like VPC, DNS, etc. Other resources, such as audit reports and whitepapers are linked This also covers encryption, and monitoring network activity with CloudWatch et al. Finally, malicious activity detection with AWS Shield and Anti-DDOS measures, VPC flow logs, and CloudWatch alerting.

16. Scenarios and Reference Architectures - a short chapter covering how you'd apply the appropriate hybrid IT architecture connectivity solution based on what you've learned in the book

Lacking color throughout the book AND LOT'S of repetitive words (you'll see)

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

Book has some decent material, got me able to bone up on DNS, route 53 and load balancing (pardon me, neglected to state the st-O-O-pendous [NOT stupendous] repeating of AWS everywhere - amazon DNS, amazon route 53, amazon elastic load balancing, etc...) - that is just a space waste, adding more pages, needlessly.

Besides, it screws up your reading speed because your brain - EVERY-SINGLE-TIMEwants to read all the extraneous verbiage. Talk about product placement and 'possibly' subliminal suggestions (just a wild guess y'all but amazon may not post this so I'll have to do it on my own web site).

It gets very tiresome to have to read the word (Amazon) or acronym (AWS), over and over and over and OVER when the blasted entire book pertains to AWS....!

Then, let's talk about color, I got the paperback, not a diagram in color anywhere. Color enhances any and all learning experience, especially when it is a dry BUT necessary book of content one needs to read.
I ended up buying a PDF version of the book, one that has color throughout...

I would give it a 2.5 rating but it is not possible...

Very good subject cover and inside information.

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

The book covers current (2018) exam topic according to AWS exam blueprint, provides a few inside information on how AWS works, although not needed for exam, tests you at the end of each chapter and presents exercises so you can practice around. Having hands on in AWS is the most effective way of learning and fixing concepts for the exam and when working with it. Book guides you in most network technologies for exam and use cases, points to references for more detailed documentation when needed. However it does not provide step by step instructions, it's up to reader to find out more about it as it happens in real life, which I find good, as it e stimulates investigation.

One topic I missed is BGP entirely in details. Not that you need in all situations or even in the exam (as I haven't been tested yet) but I assumed some knowledge such as hierarchy of routing decision would be mentioned. This should be fine if it out of exam scope, and it does not harm going a step forward if you can reading more about it as well.

A very valuable reference

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 21, 2019

A great study guide, especially for Direct Connect which isn't usually easy for most people to get access too. Combined with the YouTube videos this is the ultimate guide to understanding more about AWS networking and for preparation to take the Speciality exam.
There is also access to some online practice tests which work really well.
The only issue is that on the kindle edition some of the code samples, especially the Cloudformation snippets aren't formatted correctly.

Essential if you want to pass!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this to study for the exam that I'd failed a couple of times before. It really helped to crystalise my knowledge around Direct Connect, VPN and DNS, which was a weak spot the previous exam attempts had probed.

The fact that some of the guys who wrote the exam blueprint have contributed to this book makes it a must buy and a solid investment if you plan to pass the certification. I didn't manage to finish it before my exam, but even just reading 60% of it still filled enough gaps to pass.
