Explore how cloud and DevOps interoperate through automation, continuous integration, and infrastructure as code, using provisioning tools like cloud formation, Ansible, and Chef to scale infrastructure efficiently.
Learn to design secure private networks on the public cloud with VPC, subnets and routing, plus IAM, Route 53, data connecting service, CloudTrail, Config, and CloudWatch for monitoring.
Take a guided tour of the AWS console, log in securely with optional two-factor authentication later, and explore services, resource groups, and billing.
Explore IAM concepts, including users, roles, groups, policies, and MFA, and learn how to grant fine-grained access to resources like S3 and EC2 while securing root accounts.
Enable multi-factor authentication in AWS IAM to secure accounts, using either a hardware token or a virtual token like Google authenticator, and protect the root account.
Create and manage users and groups, assign policies for read-only or admin access, and use console or API keys with secure credentials to govern sign-in and permissions.
Discover networking essentials for understanding VPC configuration, including IP addressing (IPv4 and IPv6), private networks and NAT, and classful versus classless subnetting using masks.
Master core network utilities for configuring and debugging connectivity, including ifconfig, dig, whois, ping, traceroute, and mtr, to diagnose DNS, routes, and interface details.
Explore how internet gateways enable public subnet access, how NAT instances provide outbound access for private networks, and how elastic network interfaces, elastic IPs, and route tables shape connectivity.
Launch your first ec2 instance by selecting a linux ami, a free-tier instance type, configuring a public subnet and security groups, adding tags and storage, and enabling monitoring.
Connect to your EC2 instance with an ssh key, using terminal or browser-based clients. Use image-specific usernames such as ubuntu, ec2-user, or root, and consider non-default ports for security.
Connect the web server to the rds database using the endpoint and a mysql client, then configure wordpress to use that database and fix permissions.
Learn to manage rds instances with parameter groups, option groups, snapshots, and backups for migration, recovery, and point-in-time restores.
Learn to host a static site on S3 by creating a public bucket, uploading content, setting the index document, and enabling static website hosting for a low-cost, zero-maintenance website.
Learn to offload WordPress static content to S3 using the WP Offload plugin, create an IAM user with S3 access, set up a bucket, and serve media from S3.
With its launch in the first decade of this century, Amazon Web Services, commonly abbreviated as AWS, has transformed most aspects our lives. If you look around, you may notice most of our data, social profiles, photographs, even the most essential files are stored, synchronised and shared via cloud. Almost every application that you use on your mobile is connected to the cloud in some ways. And AWS has been at the forefront of this transformation. Cloud has brought the utility model to computing by lowering the capital expenses, entry barrier and truly enabling anyone to try out their ideas with the minimal risk.
Amongst the public cloud providers, AWS leads the space with a significant margins, and that is the reason why if you would like to get started with Cloud Computing, its the AWS that we recommend as the first platform to learn. And if you have knowledge of AWS, you would find comfortable using most of the other cloud platforms as the fundamentals are the same with parallel set of services .
List of services offered by AWS is just overwhelming. This course is meant to be a quick introduction to Cloud Computing, AWS and the most essential services offered by it. This course starts with the foundations of cloud, introduces you to AWS platform, and helps you start building your infrastructure on cloud from grounds up. It covers most commonly used services such as,
- Identity and Access Management (IAM)
- Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
- Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2)
- Relational Database Service (RDS)
- Simple Storage Service (S3)
- Autoscaling and Cloudwatch
