Summary

In this chapter, you reviewed many of the main services used in AWS architecture. These make up the majority of the services that will be part of your day-to-day responsibilities as AWS cloud security engineers and the services that will be referenced in the questions in the exam.

Having a baseline knowledge of these services will allow us to dive deep into the most relevant exam material rather than revisiting the basics.

Chapter 3, Understanding Attacks on Cloud Environments, will wrap up Section I by examining the different types of attacks that you need to look for in your AWS environments as a security engineer. It will discuss the relevant mitigation strategies to keep these attacks at bay as you examine each attack type, and you will also explore one of the most prevalent types of attacks, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, in detail.
