Security is usually an afterthought when organizations design microservices for cloud systems. Most companies today are exposed to potential security threats, but their responses are often more reactive than proactive. This leads to unnecessarily complicated systems that are hard to implement and even harder to manage and scale. Author Gaurav Raje shows you how to build highly secure systems on AWS without increasing overhead.

Ideal for cloud solution architects and software developers with AWS experience, this practical book starts with a high-level architecture and design discussion, then explains how to implement your solution in the cloud while ensuring that the development and operational experience isn't compromised. By leveraging the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, you'll be able to:

  • Develop a modular architecture using microservices that aims to simplify compliance with various regulations in finance, medicine, and legal services
  • Introduce various AWS-based security controls to help protect your microservices from malicious actors
  • Leverage the modularity of the architecture to independently scale security mechanisms on individual microservices
  • Improve the security posture without compromising the autonomy or efficiency of software development teams

Security and Microservice Architecture on AWS

Who Should Use This Book

Maybe you have implemented a microservice system on AWS, and you suddenly realized that you need to secure your system. Or maybe you work in an industry where security is an important consideration; you would like to create a new greenfield application, and you have just discovered microservices. Or you joined a company that uses microservices, and you are curious to figure out if they follow the best practices in terms of security. Or you are just someone who is interested in learning the various types of cloud design patterns and trying to find out more information on the tools that AWS provides you with their cloud offering. No matter which of these readers you are, I am confident that you will learn something new from this book.

Goals of This Book

This book assumes that you already have a basic knowledge of Amazon Web Services (AWS), microservice architecture, and security, and you would like to figure out how you can make all three of these work with one another in order to unlock the synergistic value of your application.

Through this book, I hope to spread the knowledge of how security professionals and developers can work together to increase the value of enterprise applications. This book tries its best to come up with innovative solutions to security problems where security can be implemented through efficient design and simple solutions, and by leveraging the tools that AWS provides us.

I hate bad security implementation as much as any developer. As a result, throughout this book, I will try my best to impress upon you the importance of security through simplicity and stop you from implementing any security control that creates friction for the developers or managers within your company.

My goal is, through this book and all activities that I perform from now on, to spread as much of my knowledge as possible. However, I understand that income disparity and social inequality affect a lot of people. For what it’s worth, I have decided to donate all the royalties from this book to Girls Who Code, a fantastic nonprofit that aims at narrowing the gender gap in the IT industry. I think of my work as volunteering for this fantastic organization. However, they are the true champions of this work and deserve all the praise they can get.

It was such a pleasure reading this book. I felt it did a good job of highlighting the problems that developers face and tried solving them in an aws centric way. Most security books that I have read try to go the extreme tin-foil way by prescribing solutions which are extremely annoying to developers. I like that this book tried to strike a good balance.
It does come across as a little fanboy ish sometimes, but overall I learned a lot.

I think that the author succeeded in meeting his goal of explaining how to make AWS, microservice architecture and security work together to the benefit of an application. The topic is complex but is approached in an organized manner. The only con is that a few of the figures were too small or the print was light (but the majority were fine). This book is a very worthwhile reference.

Excellent Introduction of Security Concepts/Principles and Microservice Architecture
Gaurav has done a masterful job in articulating the foundational aspects of security, their essence and how they should be factored and applied in software design in general, and Microservice in particular.

This is one of the best books on application security on AWS. The author does not waste any words and explains concepts clearly in a step by step manner and goes into adequate level of depth. Most other solutions books on AWS are pretty wordy and superficial.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Tour of AWS Security Tools and Techniques
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 8, 2022
Verified Purchase
This is a good book, but it falls short in the 2nd half. It offers a solid guided tour of AWS from a security point of view, covering most of the AWS services you're likely to know and use (VPC, EC2, EKS, S3, Lambda etc.).

The writing is straight forward and approachable to anyone with moderate technical experience, tho you'll be much better off if you already understand the essentials of networking (CIDR, subnets, etc.), system administration, and VMs, containers, and Kubernetes. Each chapter focuses on a clear essential topic (IAM, encryption, monitoring/response, etc.), and they build progressively in a coherent way. The focus is on microservice architectures, but most of the AWS features covered can apply more broadly to any architecture you might be using.

My only complaints about this book are:
1) The 2nd half covers more complicated topics, but does so with less depth. The author covers a lot of ground, but he ends up only giving a quick overview of those things (ex: TLS, App Mesh, Managing multiple AWS accounts, and incident monitoring and response).

2) There are lots of screenshots of AWS console throughout, but 90% are impossibly small and totally illegible. Whoever did the layout graphics needs to be fired for the 2nd edition. I like screenshots, but these will be of little use to anyone.

3) While screenshots are nice, there's almost zero code in this book. There are scattered snippets of JSON examples for things like IAM policies, but even these are few and far between. A book with "...Implemenging..." in the title should have extensive examples of AWS CLI at the very least. Gaurav Raje seems to think none of his readers will use the CLI or shell scripts/automation anywhere; He refers almost exclusively (in writing and graphics) to getting things done via AWS Console (i.e. the browser) instead of the terminal, much less DevOps tools like Terraform, Ansible, etc.

I actually really like this book, and I'm glad I read it. It just suffers from the same complaint I have about O'Reilly's other popular architecture books from Ford, Newman, and others (which Raje refers to repeatedly, ironically enough): These books all tell you _what_ you should do, without delivering the goods on _how_ to actually do it in practice. Raje gets closer to delivering the tactical goods than his contemporaries, but he still falls short in the end (and notably, he fails to deliver enough external links to AWS docs, etc., for further reading on the topics he does cover).

Final word: This is a solid guided tour of the essential security tools and techniques everyone building on AWS should know and master. It's an easy read, covers a lot of ground, and offers plenty of valuable tips and best practices along the way. I just wish it offered enough actual *implementation* details and depth to fully live up to the title on the cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little verbose but overall, quite good
Reviewed in India on October 2, 2021

The author is a good storyteller. Starts off with a story and continues to describe concepts using various narratives. That helps keep me (the reader) interested in the book from start to end. There are many illustrations in the book which are fantastic at explaining the concepts in a clear and concise way.

The language is simple and at times humorous. Security in itself can be a challenging concept to grasp, and the author tries to use real world examples to make things easier. The casual tone in the book makes the scenarios very relatable. He rants a little at times, but thats a small imperfection in an otherwise great book.

2.0 out of 5 stars This is not security book you are looking for
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 25, 2022
Verified Purchase
On the first glance book is well made with a lot of diagrams. When you start reading it the text quite disorganized and confused, and diagrams at time are comically unrelated to what the author apparently tries to say. It is not that you can't understand what what author is saying, but it is not clear what he wants to say.
Overall the book content feel slapped together, which is critical flow for its subject matter: security. Where attention to details and attention that details fit perfectly into the whole picture is paramount.
After reading first to chapters I am going to return it to Amazon, order just released AWS security book by Manning and hope that that one is better.
