Description

Why learn this course?

Cloud Computing skills, especially Amazon Web services (AWS) skills, are capital intensive and will definitely be booming in the market for a very long time period. Being an IT professional, learning Amazon Web services (AWS) has become a mandatory and authentic way to advance their career and companies are ready to pay top-dollar for specialists in the increasingly common AWS platform.

Now, this is the perfect time that we must upgrade for the future technology that is going to rule the market for years from now on.

"Time is money" so don’t ignore this excellent course that will lead not only earn you trucks of money but also sharpen your proficiency with AWS.

After exhaustive research and development for the past two years, we have built each and every section to make you mastery in AWS. Working with the information technology for 1/2 a decade, after a detailed study we have made this crystal clear that the market is currently looking for, so don’t miss out on this Great Learning opportunity.

What you will learn?

Build your first serverless backend without even thinking about servers and cost. In the Serverless architecture, your code will respond instantly when needed and will not incur costs when at rest.

In short, we will create an application that decreases the go-to-market time and builds lightweight, flexible applications that can be scaled and updated quickly. As I quoted earlier "Time is money", while other developers who spend tons of their hours to solve business problems through the traditional approach, we here will spend less time comparatively in fabricating our application in a highly secure, flexible, scalable, and cost-effective manner.

Technically and in short you will learn,

"Pure Serverless " involves creating a Lambda function that communicates with REST API in API Gateway to exchange the data, and respond to the Android Mobile application frontend. Moreover, it’s like a full-stack application that gives you a clear understanding of different layers of architecture. In order to store the data in the backend, we will use DynamoDB as storage and meet the current trending Technology requirements we have, in addition, integrate Alexa skills that interact with our serverless application and you would get a new experience working with voice assistants. Finally, for hosting we discuss Single page static web hosting with S3 as storage that lets you host a simple web application.

When it comes to Web hosting, we surely need a DNS routing, which is also covered in AWS Route 53.

Simply having technical classes is boredom for sure so, we have included some interesting Capstone projects, Assignments, and Quizzes in each section to make you more interactive and sharpen your Technical Skills with AWS.

We are happy to Welcome you Aboard!!!

Who this course is for:

Beginners to Cloud Computing on AWS.
Anyone who wants to have a sound understanding of AWS Core Services.
Any Backend Developer who wants to create a Highly Scalable, Flexible, Cost effective and Secure Backend.
Any Frontend Developer who wants to create a Single Page Web Application.
Any Alexa Developer who wants to integrate their skill with the existing Backend.
Any Full Stack Developer who wants to have a hands on experience on creating a Full Stack Application.
Any developer who is interested in creating a Scalable and Secure real time Serverless Application.
