Introduction to AWS Cloud Computing

Throughout this course, you’ll embark on a journey that covers the essential concepts, tools and services offered by AWS, empowering you to leverage the cloud for scalable, flexible and cost-effective solutions.

In the first modules, you’ll gain a solid understanding of cloud computing in the digital world, explore the key concepts of AWS, and familiarize yourself with the vast array of tools and services available within the AWS ecosystem.

Moving forward, you’ll dive deeper into AWS compute services, learning how to create and manage virtual servers with EC2, explore serverless computing with AWS Lambda, and understand the principles of auto-scaling for dynamic workload management.

Next, you’ll explore storage and database solutions in AWS, discovering options like S3, EBS, Amazon RDS and DynamoDB. You will also learn how to effectively manage data storage and retrieval within the AWS environment.

Networking and content delivery are essential components of any cloud infrastructure, and in this course, you’ll learn how to configure Amazon VPC, optimize content delivery with CloudFront, and manage DNS with Route 53.

Security and compliance are paramount in cloud computing, and in dedicated modules, you’ll explore the shared responsibility model, implement best practices for securing your AWS infrastructure, and leverage tools like AWS CloudTrail and AWS Config for monitoring and compliance.

Monitoring, optimization and cost management are critical aspects of AWS cloud computing, and you’ll learn how to use AWS CloudWatch, Trusted Advisor and resource tagging to monitor, optimize and manage costs effectively.

Further modules dive into specialized topics like serverless computing with AWS Lambda, containerization with AWS ECS, big data analytics with AWS EMR, and machine learning with AWS SageMaker.

Finally, you’ll explore DevOps automation with AWS CodePipeline, learning how to create and configure CI/CD pipelines, build and deploy applications with AWS CodeBuild and AWS CodeDeploy, and automate testing, approval gates and rollback mechanisms.
