Explore IAM to control authentication, authorization, and access to AWS resources with root accounts, users, groups, roles, policies, MFA, identity federation, and CloudTrail auditing.

Open the AWS homepage, create an account, verify email, enter billing and phone verification, select the free basic plan, and access the AWS console in the Mumbai region.

Create AWS IAM users and groups, assign full admin or EC2 access, and replicate permissions across users using direct policies and group membership in a practical case study.

Discover how to access EC2 Linux and Windows hosts and complete hands-on labs creating Linux and Windows EC2 instances using PuTTY or other tools.

Explore AWS EC2 Elastic Compute Cloud, including on-demand, reserved, spot, and dedicated instances, and understand instance types, IP addressing, and a lab-focused VPC topology with Windows instances.

Launch an EC2 linux instance in the aws management console using ubuntu, a t2 micro, and a key pair; access via putty with the ubuntu user and public IP.

Create and access a Windows EC2 host on AWS by launching a Windows Server 2022 instance, selecting a T2 micro, and connecting via RDP after decrypting the password.

Master multi-factor authentication (MFA) in AWS IAM by combining username and password with a token, mobile app, or biometric, and review password policy and MFA options.

Learn how to enable multi-factor authentication in AWS using an authenticator app, QR codes, and MFA codes to secure the AWS Management Console.

Explore AWS billing basics, pay-as-you-go charges, free tier usage, and the billing console. Understand key terms such as metrics, namespaces, statistics, periods, thresholds, and SNS topics.

Learn to configure aws billing alerts and access controls, enable pdf invoice delivery, and set a cloudwatch billing alarm with a $5 threshold to notify you by email.

Explore IAM roles and policies in AWS, including inline policies and json-based permissions. Learn how least privileges guide role assignment and upcoming labs.

Explore AWS IAM roles by provisioning an IAM user with S3 full access and programmatic credentials, then mount an S3 bucket on Ubuntu via s3fs and CLI for remote development.

Learn how to grant Lucy limited EC2 access by replacing full admin with read-only and specific inline policies to start, stop, reboot, while preventing termination.

Explore CloudWatch for real-time monitoring, logs, dashboards, and alarms across AWS resources and hybrid environments. Learn CloudTrail for governance by recording actions across console, CLI, and SDK.

Set up CloudWatch dashboards and alarms for EC2 servers, trigger email alerts via SNS on CPU spikes, and explore CloudTrail and billing alarms for proactive cloud monitoring.

Explore CloudTrail logs and event history to see who did what and when, with details on event source, resource type and name, and download options in CSV or JSON.

Learn AWS autoscaling with auto scaling groups, minimum and maximum capacity, and metrics such as average CPU utilization to balance performance and cost, plus load balancer integration and practical lab.

Configure an auto scaling group for a two-server Windows deployment, define a launch template, and set a target tracking policy to auto scale when CPU exceeds 10%.

Explore how raid in AWS improves cost efficiency and performance by using multiple EBS volumes, covering raid levels zero, one, five, ten, and snapshot considerations, and fault tolerance.

Launch a Windows server in AWS, attach four EBS volumes, bring them online, and create a striped RAID volume to use in File Explorer.

Master VPC peering in AWS, including one-to-one, multiple, and inter-region connections, to enable private traffic between VPCs. Identify invalid peering cases like overlapping CIDR blocks and transitive peering not supported.

Learn to design and test a VPC peering connection between VPCs with CIDR blocks 10.0.0.0/16 and 192.168.0.0/16, configure subnets and routing, launch servers, enable RDP and ICMP, and verify reachability.
