AWS Cloud Fundamentals: Networking, Linux & EC2

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence

Build a strong foundation in cloud computing and AWS with this beginner-friendly course designed to help you understand how modern cloud environments work and get hands-on with real AWS services.

The course starts with the fundamentals of cloud computing, explaining what cloud computing is, why businesses are moving from traditional IT infrastructure to the cloud, and how cloud technology is creating new career opportunities. You’ll develop a clear understanding of the core concepts before moving into practical cloud technologies.

Next, you’ll learn essential networking concepts that every cloud professional needs to understand. You’ll explore IP addresses, domains, DNS, HTTP and HTTPS, ports, and how network requests flow between systems. Practical demonstrations will help you understand how networking works in real-world environments, including how to inspect network activity through a web browser.

You’ll then build your Linux fundamentals, an essential skill for working with cloud servers. Through hands-on demonstrations, you’ll learn how to navigate the Linux file system, manage files, edit files, install software, work with permissions, and perform basic server control tasks.

After building your networking and Linux foundation, you’ll explore core cloud concepts and infrastructure. You’ll learn about public, private, and hybrid cloud models, understand the major components of cloud infrastructure, and explore common cloud services and how they map to real-world applications.

Finally, you’ll move into AWS hands-on learning with Amazon EC2. You’ll understand how cloud servers work, explore security groups and key pairs, navigate the AWS Management Console, launch and configure an EC2 instance, and connect to your cloud server.

By the end of this course, you’ll understand the core concepts behind cloud computing, networking, Linux, cloud infrastructure, and AWS EC2. You’ll also have practical experience launching and connecting to a cloud server, giving you a solid foundation for progressing into AWS, cloud engineering, and DevOps.
