Amazon Web Services – Building at Global Scale
Start your journey with Amazon Web Services (AWS), the world's leading cloud platform. This course covers the core building blocks: Global Infrastructure, IAM security, Compute (EC2), Storage (S3), and Networking (VPC).
Global Infrastructure: Regions & AZs
Understand the physical layout of AWS. Learn the critical difference between a Region (geographic area) and an Availability Zone (data center), and how to design for High Availability.
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Secure your environment using IAM. Master the concepts of Users, Groups, Roles, and JSON-based Policies to enforce the principle of Least Privilege.
Compute: EC2 & Lambda
Deploy virtual servers with Amazon EC2 and explore the world of serverless computing with AWS Lambda, where you run code without provisioning servers.
Storage: S3 & EBS
Compare the two main storage types: Simple Storage Service (S3) for scalable object storage and Elastic Block Store (EBS) for persistent block storage attached to EC2 instances.
Networking: The Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
Build your own isolated network in the cloud. Learn about VPCs, Subnets (Public vs. Private), Route Tables, and Security Groups.
