- Decide between single-AZ and Multi-AZ with reasoning you can defend
- Ship Terraform changes through CI, with a reviewed plan before every apply

- Foundations What "production-ready" means on AWS, and the decisions to make before writing any code.
- Repository and environment layout Modules, environments and variables that stay readable as the platform grows.
- State done right Free sample Remote state that is versioned, replicated, locked and impossible to delete by accident.
- Never touch the wrong account Named profiles, account guards and cross-account roles with MFA.
- VPC and security groups Public, private and data subnets, NAT, and security groups that allow only what is needed.
- Edge security CloudFront, AWS WAF and a load balancer that only trusts your own CloudFront.
- Compute that heals itself Auto Scaling groups, fast-booting base images and servers that configure themselves.
- Data layer RDS and ElastiCache: encryption, TLS, backups, point-in-time recovery and deletion protection.
- Secrets and access without SSH Secrets Manager, KMS, IAM least privilege and SSM Session Manager.
- Monitoring and budgets The alarms that matter, cost alerts and keeping the bill predictable.
- CI/CD for Terraform Plan on every change, safe applies and drift detection.
- Single-AZ vs Multi-AZ How to choose between one zone and several, from your recovery targets and budget.
- Load testing before launch Proving capacity before your users do, and what to watch while you test.
