AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Course + Practice Test

Explore cloud concepts with AWS services, on-demand resources, and service models like IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, plus six advantages: variable costs, pay-as-you-go, scalability, and faster time to market.

Explore how AWS cloud practitioner labs reveal global infrastructure with regions and availability zones, edge locations and CloudFront caching to reduce network latency and improve throughput worldwide.

Identify components of the US global infrastructure that consist of data centers connected by low latency links. Evaluate factors shaping AWS region selection for a new application.

Navigate security and compliance in AWS by applying the shared responsibility model, managing identities and access, and accessing compliance reports through Artifact to meet standards.

Explore AWS web application firewall and AWS Shield for protecting apps and APIs from attacks and denial of service. Learn AWS Inspector for network and host assessments in hands-on lab.

Engage in a lab exploring Athena, Macie, and CloudWatch alongside IAM best practices, CloudTrail and AWS Config, focusing on auditing, monitoring, data protection, and secure access management.

Discover how CloudTrail and CloudWatch enable access management with governance and compliance, including multi region trails, event history, alarms, tags, and dashboards.

Explore Amazon S3, a cloud-based storage service for websites, apps, and data from devices, featuring durability, cross-region replication, security and compliance capabilities, lifecycle management, and various storage classes.

Explore Amazon S3 basics, from creating buckets and managing access to versioning and encryption, then learn CloudFront edge locations, origins, and web distributions for fast content delivery.

Explore Amazon EC2 pricing models, including on-demand, reserved, spot, and dedicated hosts, and learn how to launch and connect to an Ubuntu instance in the AWS console.

Design robust cloud architectures by using EC2 across availability zones, manage IAM credentials and CLI interactions, and deploy DNS routing with Route 53 and S3 static websites.

Explain relational vs non-relational databases and AWS offerings like RDS, DynamoDB, Aurora, ElastiCache, and Redshift for varied data models and performance.

Explore AWS database services, including RDS with multi-AZ and read replicas, DynamoDB, Redshift, ElastiCache, and Redis; complete a lab building security groups, an RDS MySQL instance, and WordPress.

Learn to set up auto scaling groups, launch configurations, and application load balancers for dynamic resource management. Deploy Node.js apps with Elastic Beanstalk and build WordPress environments with CloudFormation.

Explore how cloud formation enables DevOps and best practice principles by deploying and replicating an entire infrastructure, using templates to define resources and dependencies under the well-architected framework.

Explore AWS pricing principles across on-premises and cloud services, including Snowball data transfer, Snowball Edge, Storage Gateway, Deploy, OpsWorks, IoT Greengrass, and CloudWatch monitoring.

Compare AWS pricing models, including pay as you go, save when you reserve, and pay less by using more; identify EC2, Lambda pricing factors, and cost optimization strategies.

Explore how AWS pricing models compare across compute, storage, and data transfer, including free tiers, on-demand, reserved, and other options, with practical examples of S3, EBS, and DynamoDB costs.

Track costs with budgets and cost explorer, set alerts, and analyze forecasted or actual usage. Learn tagging, resource groups, organizations, consolidated billing, and quickstart landing zones for secure multi-account deployment.

Use AWS calculators to estimate cloud migration costs with on-demand, savings plans, spot, reserved pricing, and learn budgets, cost explorer, and best practices for root credentials and tagging.
