🌍 Day 2 of my 90-day AWS learning journey: Understanding AWS Global Infrastructure

🌍 Day 2 of my 90-day AWS learning journey: Understanding AWS Global Infrastructure

Yesterday, I learned what cloud computing is.

Today, I explored the platform I'm beginning to learn: Amazon Web Services (AWS).

One thing that stood out to me is that cloud infrastructure isn't just about servers. Where those resources are located—and how they're organized—matters too.

Here are three concepts I learned today:

🔹 AWS Regions: Geographic areas where AWS operates infrastructure. Choosing a Region involves considering latency, cost, available services, and data residency.

🔹 Availability Zones: Isolated locations within a Region that help architects design more resilient applications.

🔹 Edge locations: Infrastructure that helps deliver content closer to users, such as through Amazon CloudFront.

💡 My key takeaway: Understanding AWS infrastructure is an important step toward building applications that are reliable and perform well.

I'm also learning that cloud resources aren't automatically free. Checking pricing and setting up cost controls should be part of the learning process from day one.

I'm taking this journey one concept at a time, building my understanding before jumping into more complex services.

If you were building a website for users across different countries, what would you consider first when choosing an AWS Region?

I'd love to learn from your experience!
