Explore cloud computing service models—infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and software as a service—and how elasticity and paying for what you use shape scalable solutions.
Explore public, private, and hybrid cloud deployment models, their benefits and limitations, and how elasticity and security shape data and resources.
Set up an AWS EC2 instance, enable ICMP in security groups, connect with PuTTY using a private key, install Apache or Tomcat, deploy a page, and restrict access by IP.
This course provides a clear and beginner-friendly introduction to Amazon Web Services (AWS), designed for learners who want to understand cloud computing and AWS services from the ground up.
You will begin with an introduction to cloud computing, covering cloud characteristics, service models, and deployment models. These fundamentals help you understand why cloud platforms like AWS are widely used and how they support modern applications.
As the course progresses, you will explore core AWS services starting with Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud). You will learn how to work with EC2 instances step by step, covering multiple parts to give you a strong understanding of compute services in AWS.
The course then moves into Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service), where you will learn how to store, manage, and access data in the cloud. You will also explore S3 static website hosting and understand how to access S3 programmatically.
You will then work with Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service), learning about database concepts in AWS, creating MySQL DB instances, and connecting databases using applications and EC2 instances. These topics help you understand how compute, storage, and databases work together in AWS.
Each topic is explained through structured video lectures, keeping concepts simple and practical. Practice tests are included to help you assess your understanding and reinforce key AWS concepts.
By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in AWS services and the confidence to continue learning advanced AWS technologies or pursue AWS certifications.
