AWS Cloud Administration | Fundamentals

Learn the fundamentals of AWS cloud computing, including deployment and service models, regions and availability zones, and the AWS pricing calculator, with a practical lab.

Learn to create a free or on demand AWS account, navigate regions and availability zones, and estimate costs for two Windows servers in Mumbai using the pricing calculator.

Explore how AWS regions and availability zones enable global deployment, and configure virtual private clouds with subnets, route tables, and internet gateways for public and private access.

Create a vpc with 10.0.0.0/16 and two subnets, 10.0.1.0/24 for marketing and 10.0.2.0/24 for finance, then attach an internet gateway and set marketing routing to enable internet access.

Explore EC2 elastic compute cloud, a secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud, and learn about on-demand, reserved, spot, and dedicated instances along with instance types and IP addressing.

This EC2 lab creates Windows servers in two VPC subnets (marketing and finance), attaches an internet gateway to marketing, and demonstrates access to finance via a jump host.

Explore AWS backup and recovery using AMI images and EBS snapshots to restore EC2 instances. Learn about incremental snapshots and disaster recovery in hands-on labs.

Learn to back up a Windows server in AWS by creating an AMI image and snapshot, then terminate and restore from AMI or snapshot via RDP.

Explore two AWS restore methods in the EBS snapshot lab: create an image from an AMI or recover a Windows server from a volume snapshot.

Explore how AWS EC2 provides scalable Linux computing, with Amazon Linux security focus, EBS and instance store volumes, and default usernames for access via PuTTY or the AWS console.

Launch an ubuntu linux EC2 instance (t2 micro) on the AWS free tier, configure ssh access with a security group, and connect using a pem key via ssh.

Allocate an elastic IP in a VPC and attach it to an EC2 instance to provide a public IPv4 address for internet access.

Learn how elastic IPs in AWS provide a persistent public IPv4 for an EC2 instance by allocating and associating an IP to the marketing server. Rebooting preserves the IP.

Explore how AWS security groups act as virtual firewalls for EC2 instances, controlling inbound and outbound traffic at the instance level and allowing you to apply rules across associated instances.

Explore how AWS security groups control inbound and outbound traffic, enabling RDP and ICMP, and learn to adjust rules and Windows Defender Firewall settings for connectivity debugging.

Explore S3 simple storage services, a serverless object storage offering secure, durable, scalable storage with regional replication, data consistency, and storage tiers.

Create an S3 bucket in Ireland, upload an image, and explore bucket and object level permissions, public access controls, and serverless storage concepts.

Explore Amazon RDS, a managed cloud relational database service that simplifies setup, scaling, automated backups, high availability across zones, and security through identity and access management and virtual private cloud.

Create an AWS RDS MySQL database in a chosen availability zone, install MySQL Workbench on Windows Server, and connect using the endpoint and port 3306.
