Learning AWS for DevOps: Tools and Services to Know in 2025

 The demand for DevOps professionals continues to grow in 2025, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) remains at the center of modern DevOps practices. If you're aspiring to become a cloud-savvy DevOps engineer, understanding AWS tools is no longer optional — it's a career necessity.

At TechnoGeeks Training Institute, our AWS DevOps training equips learners with the most in-demand tools and workflows. This guide outlines the key AWS services and tools every DevOps practitioner should master in 2025.



1. AWS CodePipeline: Automating CI/CD Workflows

AWS CodePipeline is a fully managed service for automating software release processes. It connects your code repository, build system, test suite, and deployment environments in a seamless flow.

Why learn it?

  • Automates the delivery pipeline

  • Reduces manual errors and deployment time

  • Integrates with GitHub, CodeCommit, Jenkins, and more

At TechnoGeeks, you’ll build real CI/CD pipelines using CodePipeline with live deployment to EC2 or Lambda.

2. AWS CodeBuild: Scalable Build Automation

AWS CodeBuild compiles source code, runs tests, and produces build artifacts that can be used for deployment. It eliminates the need to manage your own build servers.

Key features to learn:

  • Buildspec.yml configuration

  • Parallel builds and caching

  • Integration with CodePipeline and S3

Our hands-on labs include real-time build triggers and environment variable setup.

3. AWS CodeDeploy: Automated Deployments with Zero Downtime

CodeDeploy handles code deployments to EC2, Lambda, or on-premise servers. It ensures application availability through rolling updates and rollback features.

What you’ll practice:

  • Blue/green and in-place deployments

  • Lifecycle hooks and deployment groups

  • Troubleshooting failed deployments

TechnoGeeks includes multi-environment deployment projects in its AWS DevOps module.

4. AWS CloudFormation & CDK: Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Automation is at the heart of DevOps. AWS CloudFormation lets you define your infrastructure in code, while the AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) enables coding infrastructure using familiar languages like Python or TypeScript.

What to focus on:

  • Writing reusable templates and stacks

  • Automating environment setup

  • Managing state and drift detection

Our course includes IaC projects using both CloudFormation and CDK to simulate real deployment workflows.

5. Amazon ECR & ECS: Container Management at Scale

Containers are essential to DevOps. Amazon ECR (Elastic Container Registry) stores your Docker images, and Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service) lets you run them reliably.

Key topics to learn:

  • Pushing Docker images to ECR

  • Running ECS tasks and services

  • Load balancing and auto-scaling containers

We help students deploy containerized apps end-to-end in a DevOps pipeline.

6. AWS CloudWatch: Monitoring and Logging

Visibility into applications and infrastructure is crucial for DevOps success. CloudWatch provides monitoring, logs, metrics, and custom dashboards.

Must-learn skills:

  • Setting up CloudWatch Alarms and Logs

  • Monitoring Lambda functions and EC2 instances

  • Creating log-based metrics and alerts

Our AWS course teaches you how to automate CloudWatch dashboards for production systems.

7. AWS Systems Manager: Automation and Patch Management

AWS Systems Manager lets you automate OS-level tasks such as patching, inventory, and configuration across your entire fleet of instances.

Why it matters:

  • Reduces manual configuration tasks

  • Enables safe and repeatable automation

  • Works across hybrid infrastructure

TechnoGeeks includes labs on automating EC2 patching and secure shell-free access.

8. AWS IAM & Security Best Practices

Security is a shared responsibility. DevOps engineers must understand IAM roles, policies, and permissions to build secure automation.

Skills to cover:

  • Creating and managing IAM roles for CI/CD tools

  • Least privilege policy design

  • IAM integration with Code services and Lambda

We emphasize role-based access and real-world IAM use cases in every DevOps project.
