The cloud computing ecosystem is exploding in volume and importance. By building your knowledge of Amazon Web Services, you'll enhance your value as a developer and solution architect while making your job easier. This practical, real-world resource shows you step by step how to create IAM accounts and try out some of the most popular services, including EC2, S3, DynamoDB Lambda, Mobile Analytics, Device Farm, and more. If you have prior experience with Swift or Java and a solid knowledge of web services, this book can help you quickly take your skills to the next level.

Covering both iOS and Android applications, this guide first offers an overview of cloud computing concepts and the AWS ecosystem. You'll then go on to build a WhatsApp style chat application, written in Swift and Java, running completely off AWS Infrastructure.

You'll learn to install the official AWS SDKs for iOS and Android on a Mac, set up a new project in Xcode and Android Studio using the AWS SDK, use Cognito identity pools and user pools to authenticate users and federate identities with other web identity providers such as Facebook, access S3 buckets from a mobile app, access DynamoDB tales from a mobile app, and much more.

Next, you'll learn to use AWS Lambda to generate thumbnails, configure SNS to send push notifications to your iOS and Android app, test the app on remotely- connected devices, and gather application usage reports using Mobile Analytics.

You'll be ready to hit the ground running, quickly and confidently, as you learn to:

• Create IAM accounts
