Install the AWS SDK on an Ubuntu instance using the zip method, including downloading, unzipping, creating a project folder, and including the autoloader.

Explore AWS data pipelines to move data between compute and storage services, including on premise sources. Use templates and a drag-and-drop console to schedule, monitor, and handle errors with notifications.

Create an S3 bucket and logs folder, then build and activate a data pipeline using a template to copy the ds my school table to S3, with scheduling.

Learn how to create a dedicated AWOS direct connect between your premises and AWOS locations, enabling private connectivity, multiple virtual interfaces, and a more cost-efficient, low-latency, high-bandwidth network.

Explore how to create and manage virtual interfaces for AWS direct connect, including public and private interfaces, VPC access, and required bgp, ip addresses, and tags.

Explore how AWS CloudTrail records API calls, delivers log files, and maintains a history including caller identity, time, source IP, request parameters, responses, console, CLI, and higher-level services.

Learn to add a trail in the cloud trail service, name it, choose regional scope, create an s3 bucket for logs, and turn on the trail to record api calls.

Explore Amazon CloudFront, a global content delivery network that speeds web assets, video content, and APIs via distributions and edge locations, with origin mapping and custom domains.

Create a CloudFront distribution with an S3 origin, enable static website hosting, set default cache behavior, and configure options like domain name, SSL, and logging.
