Acknowledgments

I would like to express my gratitude to Packt Publishing who have given me the tremendous opportunity to write this book. I would like to thank Meeta Rajani (senior acquisition editor, Packt), who encouraged and enabled me to write this book.

I would like to show my appreciation and thanks to Sharon Raj, Mohit Hassija, and the team at Packt, who saw me through this book, provided support, talked things over, read, offered comments, reviewed, allowed me to quote their remarks, and assisted in the editing, proofreading, and design. This book would not have been completed without your help.

I would also like to thank some of my mentors, with whom I learned and implemented  about AWS and DevOps, among which the first name is Tarun Prakash (senior DevOps engineer, MediaIQ Digital) who helped and guided me when I entered the world of DevOps and AWS. I would like to thank Rahul Natarajan (lead cloud architect and consultant, Accenture) who has given me guidance and enabled me to use Developer Tools and related services of AWS and DevOps tools and technologies. I would also like to thank Santosh Panicker (senior technical account manager, Amazon Web Services), under whom I have worked and learned a lot about infrastructure and client requirements. He made me understand which services can be used in the best way. My certifications are a different scenario, but this person had molded me into an actual solutions architect.

I would also like to thank my family and best friends Vijeta and Tanushree for encouraging me and providing me with the emotional support to complete this book.
