The cloud combines virtualization and automation to offer self-service computing with near infinite scale and pay-as-you-go pricing, enabling infrastructure as a service across public, private, and hybrid models.
Compare renting versus buying in the cloud to cut upfront hardware costs, enable on-demand capacity, and leverage operating expenses with auto scaling and global infrastructure.
Learn to create an AWS cloud account by entering email and billing information, and completing phone identity verification. Then review service options and secure account details for ongoing course use.
Discover AWS value propositions through flexible pricing, no upfront costs, pay-as-you-go and free tier, plus the widest service offering and ongoing price reductions.
Explore AWS service families—compute, storage and content delivery, database, application services, networking, and deployment and management—and preview core services like EC2, S3, DynamoDB, CloudFront, Route 53, and IAM.
Develop an overview of authentication and authorization in cloud and non-cloud layers, including master accounts, IAM credentials, access keys, secret keys, and multi-factor authentication.
Explore EC2 instance types, key pairs, security groups, and user data to boot and secure cloud instances. Learn CIDR blocks, access controls, and bootstrapping via user data for initial configuration.
Spin up two amazon linux ec2 t1 micro instances, create a key pair, configure security groups and volumes, and ssh in for initial setup and exploration.
Explore templating servers with AMIs by distinguishing instance types as hardware footprints and AMIs as software footprints, including base, partially configured, and fully configured images stored in S3.
Provision, attach, format, and mount an EBS volume to an instance; snapshot the volume to create an AMI, launch a second instance, and clean up resources.
Create an AMI from a running EC2 instance, launch a new instance from it, and clean up to save storage costs by deregistering the AMI and terminating the instance.
Explore auto scaling and CloudWatch to achieve high availability with an auto scaling group, launch configurations, and policies, activated by CloudWatch alarms across multiple availability zones.
Discover how cloud formation codifies an entire stack of resources as infrastructure as code, enabling modular templates, version control, and one-way deployments. Explore template parameters and outputs, and use CloudFormer.
Provision and manage relational databases with aws rds, including MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server, via a managed service with high availability, backups, snapshots, and read replicas for scaling.
Master advanced Amazon S3 features, including static website hosting, lifecycle management and Glacier restore, plus encryption, versioning, logging, direct browser uploads, multipart uploads, requester pays, and BitTorrent support.
Install and configure the S3 command line tool from the tarball, authenticate with AWS access and secret keys, then manage buckets with ls, copy, and delete.
CloudFront is a content delivery network with edge locations near users that pull content from an origin server, delivering either a download distribution using HTP or a streaming distribution.
This Amazon Web Services (AWS) training course walks you through utilizing the wide range of Cloud Computing services that Amazon provides. Cloud Computing is fast becoming the standard method of creating scalable, manageable Web Application Services, and Amazon is leading the way. This tutorial will teach you what is available in AWS, and how to use it effectively for your own needs.
You will start by learning exactly what Cloud Computing is, and why you should be using it. Rich shows you how to set up your AWS account, and gives you an overview of the services that are available to you. Throughout this video tutorial, you will cover topics such as; creating and managing EC2 instances, using the Elastic Load Balancers, CloudWatch, CloudFormation, S3, RDS and Dynamo. Rich also reviews CloudFront services, ElastiCache, VPC, SNS (Simple Notification Service), SES (Simple Email Service), SQS (Simple Queuing Service) and Route 53. You will finish off by walking through the creation of a 3 tier scalable Web Application using the AWS tools you have learned in this course.
Once you have completed this comprehensive AWS video training, you will be fully capable of creating and deploying your own Web Applications using the services provided to you in AWS. You will be familiar with the most important services, and have hands on experience in deploying your own instances using the AWS interface. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
