Compare AWS, Azure, and GCP by market share and core strengths, noting AWS as market leader with 200+ services, Azure's Windows integration, and GCP's data analytics and AI focus.
Explore the AWS console's key areas, including the service menu, region selection, cloud shell, IAM, and billing, while understanding free tier limits and how to manage costs.
Explore AWS security basics by enabling MFA on the root account, understanding root vs IAM users, and navigating the console, cloud shell, security credentials, and billing basics.
Learn how AWS IAM policies, written in JSON, define actions, resources, and conditions using version, statement, and effect. Compare inline and managed policies and understand explicit vs implicit denies.
Explore customer managed policies, their reusable, versioned, auditable design via CloudTrail, with precise permissions and descriptive naming. Learn how to create, version, and attach them to IAM identities.
Learn how AMIs drive EC2 deployments, including AWS provided AMIs, marketplace AMIs, and custom/community AMIs; they define OS, pre-installed software, configurations, and enable auto scaling and disaster recovery.
Master a flow to assume an IAM role via STS, validate trust and permission policies, attach policies, set session duration, and use temporary credentials to sign AWS API calls.
Discover EBS basics, including volume types like GP3, GP2, IO2, ST1, SC1, and snapshots for disaster recovery, plus security groups and NACL in VPC.
Explore how application and network load balancers divide traffic, enabling layer 7 and layer 4 routing, content-based and host-based routing, and WebSocket support in AWS.
Master EC2 target groups and health checks on AWS. Build from beginner to expert by understanding how these features improve reliability.
Walk through hands-on EC2 lab steps for configuring application load balancers, rules, target groups, and health checks in AWS.
Compare public and private subnets in AWS VPC, and explain internet gateway versus NAT gateway. Learn route tables, IP addressing, and traffic flow between internet and private resources.
Master how VPC route tables govern traffic between public and private subnets and how firewall layers enforce security. Explore security groups and NACLs, and gateway endpoints for S3 and DynamoDB.
Understand the limitations of VPC peering—non-transitive routing, no edge-to-edge routing, and regional security group references—and how a transit gateway provides a central hub for scalable connectivity.
Master AWS VPC transit gateway concepts as you progress from beginner to expert in this course.
Learn the bastion host pattern for secure access to private subnets by routing admin connections through a public subnet bastion to private servers, with two separate logs.
Explore how Route 53 DNS and CloudFront CDN optimize global web delivery, routing by latency, weight, and geolocation, while connecting to VPC origins and edge caches.
Explore S3 storage classes, versioning, and lifecycle rules to manage data durability, availability, and costs. Learn how to choose storage tiers, enable versioning, and automate transitions and expirations.
Learn to securely share private S3 objects with temporary pre-signed URLs and enable event-driven automation via S3 event notifications for Lambda, SQS, and SNS.
Learn how Aurora serverless v2 automatically scales capacity in ACUs, bills by actual usage, and uses minimum and maximum ACU ranges for unpredictable workloads.
This AWS course provides a complete foundation in cloud computing and AWS services, starting from cloud fundamentals and progressing to advanced identity and security concepts. You will understand AWS global infrastructure, availability zones, regions, and how virtualization powers modern cloud instances. The course compares AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform to help you choose the right ecosystem for different workloads.
You will learn IAM in depth, including users, groups, roles, and policies. We cover JSON policy structure, inline policies, AWS managed policies, and customer managed policies, along with the principle of least privilege. You will also explore advanced role assumption, MFA types, access keys, and secure CLI configuration.
Compute topics include EC2 instance families, Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), and instance selection strategies. Storage fundamentals cover basic volume types and their use cases. Networking and security modules include security groups, Elastic IPs, and Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs).
You will also learn how to use the AWS console, CLI, and understand the AWS Free Tier. Additional topics include policy evaluation logic, credential report generation, and security best practices.
By the end of this course, you will be able to design secure, scalable cloud architectures, manage identities effectively, and confidently work with core AWS services in real-world environments.
Hands-on labs and practical exercises reinforce learning through real AWS scenarios, including IAM policy creation, EC2 deployment, CLI usage, and security configuration, ensuring learners gain job-ready cloud skills and strong foundational understanding for certifications and production environments and interview preparation readiness support included.
