Who Should Read This Book?
This book is aimed at web developers who have built a web application or two, and are ready to leap into the world of cloud computing using Amazon Web Services.
This book makes use of the PHP language, but if you have experience in any serverside scripting language, you’ll find the examples clear and easy to understand. It’ s also assumed that you know the fundamentals of HTML and CSS, and that you’re comfortable with the Linux command line. Knowledge of basic system administration tasks, such as creating and mounting file systems, will also be helpful.
By the end of this book, you can expect to have a firm grasp of the concept of cloud computing and its role in enabling a whole new class of scalable and reliable web applications. You’ll also have gained a clear understanding of the range of Amazon Web Ser vi ces, such as t he Si mpl e Storage Service, the Elastic Compute Cloud, the Simple Queue Service, and SimpleDB. You’ll be able to make use of all these services in your web applications as you write commands, tools, and processes in PHP.

What’ s Covered in This Book?
The book comprises 11 chapters. Chapters 3 through to 10 detail specific Amazon Web Services, and the final chapter explores building a sample application. I would recommend that you read the book from start to finish on your first go, but keep it by your side to dip in and out of the chapters if you need a refresher on a particular web service.

Chapter 1: Welcome to Cloud Computing
In this chapter, you’ll learn the basics of cloud computing, and how it both builds on but differs from earlier hosting technologies. You will also see how organizations and individuals are putting it to use.

Chapter 2: Amazon Web Services Overview
This chapter moves from concept to reality, where you’ll learn more about the fundamentals of each of the Amazon Web Services. Each web service is explained in detail and key terminology is introduced.

Chapter 3: Tooling Up
By now you’re probably anxious to start. But before you jump in and start programming, you’ll need to make sure your tools are in order. In Chapter 3, you’ll install and configure visual and command line tools, and the CloudFusion PHP library.

Chapter 4: Storing Data with Amazon S3
In Chapter 4, you will write your first PHP scripts. You will dive head-first into Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront, and learn how to store, retrieve, and distribute data on a world scale.

Chapter 5: Web Hosting with Amazon EC2
Chapter 5 is all about the Elastic Compute Cloud infrastructure and web service. You ’ll see how to use the AWS Management Console to launch an EC2 instance, create and attach disk storage space, and allocate IP addresses. For the climax, you’ll develop a PHP script to do it all in code. To finish off, you’ll create your very own Amazon Machine Image.

Chapter 6: Building a Scalable Architecture with Amazon SQS
In this chapter, you will learn how to build applications that scale to handle high or variable workloads, using message-passing architecture constructed using the Amazon Simple Queue Service. As an example of how powerful this approach is, you’ll build an image downloading and processing pipeline with four queues that can be independently assigned greater or lesser resources.

Chapter 7: EC2 Monitoring, Auto Scaling, and Elastic Load Balancing
Chapter 7 will teach you how to use three powerful EC2 features—monitoring, auto scaling, and load balancing. These hardy features will aid you in keeping a watchful eye on system performance, scaling up and down in response to load, and distributing load across any number of EC2 instances.

Chapter 8: Amazon SimpleDB: A Cloud Database
In Chapter 8, you’ll learn how to store and retrieve any amount of structured or semi-structured data using Amazon SimpleDB. You will also construct an application for parsing and storing RSS feeds, and also make use of Amazon SQS to increase performance.

Chapter 9: Amazon Relational Database Service
In Chapter 9, we’ll look at Amazon Relational Database Service, which allows you to use relational databases in your applications, and query them using SQL. Amazon RDS is a powerful alternative to SimpleDB for cases in which the full query power of a relational database is required. You’ll learn how to create database instances, back them up, scale them up or down, and delete them when they’re no longer necessary.

Chapter 10: Advanced AWS
In this introspective chapter, you’ll learn how to track your AWS usage in SimpleDB. You’ll also explore Amazon EC2’ s Elastic Block Storage feature, see how to do backups, learn about public data sets, and discover how to increase performance or capacity by creating a RAID device on top of multiple EBS volumes. Finally, you will learn how to retrieve EC2 instance metadata, and construct system diagrams.

Chapter 11: Putting It AllToget her: CloudList
Combining all the knowledge gained from the previous chapters, you’ll create a classified advertising application using EC2 services, S3, and SimpleDB.
