Download all the slides used in this course including the exercises. Kindly do not share further as the content is copywrited.
Before diving deep into AWS, let's look at AWS from bird's eye view and understand the entire ecosystem. This lecture will provide the much required high level overview of AWS cloud and AWS services.
We will be referring back to this lecture and architecture throughout this course and hence please pay good attention.
You should watch this overview now at the beginning of the course and again after you finish this course. This lecture content will guide us for rest of this course and provide us consolidated view of AWS services and AWS ecosystem.
So.. let's get started !

This isn't just another AWS course.
I strongly believe that "A strong technical foundation is the key to a successful AWS career and you must build it once and build it right ". With this belief, I have built this course from the grounds up, drawing from a decade of AWS expertise. So try to get most out of this course.
All the best !
