Description

Disclosure: This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

This course is a complete, hands-on introduction to Amazon Web Services (AWS), designed for beginners who want to build real-world cloud and serverless applications from scratch.

Rather than focusing only on theory, this course follows a project-based approach where you will learn by doing. You will start with AWS fundamentals, including account setup, identity management using IAM, and best practices for securing your environment. From there, you will move into compute services by launching EC2 instances, configuring secure access, and deploying your first web server.

You will then explore storage and database services such as Amazon S3, RDS, and DynamoDB, learning how to store, manage, and connect data across your applications. Networking concepts are also covered in depth, including VPC design, subnets, routing, and security configurations.

As you advance, you will implement high availability architectures using load balancers and auto scaling, while also learning how to monitor and optimize AWS costs effectively.

The course culminates in two practical projects: deploying a fully functional static website with a custom domain and CDN, and building a complete serverless application using Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in AWS and the confidence to build, deploy, and manage scalable cloud applications in real-world scenarios.

Who this course is for:

  • Beginners starting with cloud computing
  • Developers wanting AWS hands-on experience
  • Students preparing for AWS careers
  • IT professionals transitioning to cloud
  • DevOps beginners learning infrastructure
  • Anyone wanting real AWS project experience
