Course Description

Welcome to "AWS Basics" by Academind, a comprehensive introductory course designed to give you a solid foundation in Amazon Web Services (AWS). This course, spanning four hours, dives into the essential aspects of AWS, making it easier for beginners to get acquainted with one of the most popular cloud computing platforms in the world.

Belonging to the Information Technology category, and more specifically the Web Servers and Networks subcategory, this course is meticulously crafted to guide you through the complexities of AWS with clear, actionable instruction. Whether you're looking to enhance your career prospects or simply want to understand cloud infrastructure better, this course will provide you with the necessary skills to do so.

The journey begins with an introduction to AWS, where you'll learn what it is and why it's a game-changer in the modern IT landscape. From there, you'll quickly move to hands-on activities such as launching, configuring, and connecting to EC2 instances. Understanding how to bootstrap EC2 instances with Userdata will give you insights into automating instance configuration and ensuring efficient deployments.

Further on, you'll explore building custom EC2 Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), a crucial skill that allows you to create and manage template instances optimized for your specific needs. You'll also delve into using Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes with EC2 instances, equipping you with the knowledge to enhance storage capabilities and data management.

Illustrating the power of scalability, the course covers EC2 Auto Scaling. This essential feature helps maintain the optimal number of instances to handle the load for your application. You'll learn about creating your own Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), a vital component for network isolation and security within AWS.

Security and permissions are critical in cloud environments. The course includes an in-depth look at creating Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles, which are integral for defining and managing user permissions and access control policies for AWS resources.

Optimizing content delivery is another vital aspect covered in this course. You'll gain practical experience using CloudFront, AWS’s Content Delivery Network (CDN), to ensure that your content reaches users with low latency and high transfer speeds. This section will help you understand how to distribute content more effectively, ensuring an optimal end-user experience.

In the final segment, you'll learn how to trigger an AWS Lambda function based on S3 file uploads. This serverless computing concept will demonstrate how you can respond to events and automate workflows without provisioning servers.

Although no reviews have been posted for this course yet, the curriculum promises a thorough understanding of AWS basics through practical implementation and expert guidance. Join us in "AWS Basics" by Academind and set a strong foundation for your AWS skills.
