AWS doesn't fail.
Architectures do.
This is not a certification guide.
This is a field manual for leaders responsible for systems that cannot fail.
In AWS SysOps Administrator - Practical Guide, Mohan Rayithi delivers a real-world, battle-tested perspective on operating cloud systems under pressure-where outages are inevitable, and decisions carry business consequences.
You'll go beyond "best practices" and into hard trade-offs:
Why multi-AZ is not enoughHow Auto Scaling can trigger outagesWhat really happens during region failureWhy backups fail when you need them mostHow to design for RTO, RPO, and blast radiusWhere automation helps-and where it destroys systemsHow AI is changing operations from reactive to predictiveThis book connects AWS architecture, operations, and leadership thinking into one cohesive discipline.
If you are responsible for uptime, resilience, and recovery at scale-
this book will change how you design, operate, and think.
