Build, secure, and scale confidently on Amazon Web Services, without feeling like you have to memorize the entire documentation. In this category I share hands on tutorials for EC2 and Amazon Linux 2023, VPC and subnet design, security groups, IAM, and practical backup strategies. Most articles are written from the point of view of a developer or small team that has to wear the “sysadmin” hat and keep production sites online while still shipping features.

You will also find guides for monitoring with CloudWatch, automating maintenance with Systems Manager, and controlling costs so your AWS bill stays predictable. I focus on real examples from WordPress, PHP apps, and APIs, including firewall rules, SSL, logging, and alerting setups that you can copy, adapt, and trust. If you want step by step AWS recipes that actually match what you run in production, start here.
