AWS Fundamentals for The Absolute Beginners - Hands-On

Explore identity and access management in Amazon Web Services by creating users, groups, roles, and policies, then test read-only Amazon Simple Storage Service access.

Explore how AWS identity center enables single sign-on and centralized access across multiple accounts and apps by integrating your identity provider and managing users, groups, and permission sets.

Master AWS security best practices under the shared responsibility model, including IAM, least privilege, roles, MFA, encryption, CloudTrail, AWS Config, and disaster recovery.

Explore AWS Cloud Shell and the AWS CLI to manage resources from the command line. Cloud Shell is browser-based and pre-authenticated, while the AWS CLI runs locally with IAM credentials.

Launch and configure Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances using AMI templates, choose instance types, and manage VPC, subnets, security groups, and storage with EBS.

Deploy a hello world app to an EC2 instance by creating an Amazon Linux 2023 t2 micro, configuring Putty SSH and Apache, and serving via /var/www/html.

Deploy an application to an EC2 instance via EC2 Instance Connect, install and start Apache, serve a hello world page from a GitHub index.html, and terminate the instance when done.

Explore AWS Lambda, a serverless compute service that runs code on triggers from S3, resize or rename uploaded images, and manage permissions with IAM roles while deploying from scratch.

Learn how elastic beanstalk automates deployment, load balancing, and scaling of web applications on AWS, from packaging a PHP hello world project to provisioning infrastructure and launching a server environment.

Learn to use AWS autoscaling and elastic load balancing to maintain performance and minimize costs by automatically adjusting EC2 instances and distributing traffic with health checks.

Explore Amazon S3, a scalable object storage service, learning to create buckets, manage permissions, enable versioning and encryption, control public access, and perform uploads and deletions.

Understand Amazon S3 Glacier, a secure, durable storage for archiving and long-term backup. Explore vaults, archives, archive IDs, retrieval options (expedited, standard, bulk), and uploading via CLI or console.

Discover elastic block store ebs as a high performance, persistent, network-attached storage for EC2, with diverse volume types, encryption via kms, and simple steps to create and attach volumes.

Learn about Amazon elastic file system (EFS), a cloud-based, scalable storage for Linux workloads that enables shared access across EC2 instances. Mount and manage EFS with standard file system semantics.

Explore SQL relational databases in AWS, including tables, rows, columns, SQL operations, and primary and foreign keys that enforce referential integrity across 1-to-1, 1-to-many, and many-to-many relations.

Explore how Amazon RDS and Aurora simplify setting up, securing, and scaling relational databases, with engines like MySQL and PostgreSQL, high availability, and easy connection setup.

Explore Amazon Redshift, a cloud-based data warehousing service that enables near real-time analysis and visualization of large data via massively parallel processing and columnar storage.

Demonstrate NoSQL databases by outlining four types—document, key-value, wide-column, and graph—emphasizing schemaless design, scale-out performance, and flexible data models for diverse applications.

Learn Amazon DynamoDB, a fast, fully managed NoSQL database that offers single-digit latency at any scale, with document and key-value models, primary keys, and scalable tables.

Explore Amazon DocumentDB, a fully managed, MongoDB-compatible document database for semi-structured JSON-like data. Scale compute and storage independently with high durability and point-in-time recovery.

Explore Amazon Neptune, a managed AWS NoSQL database for highly interconnected data; it supports property graph and RDF, enabling social networks, fraud detection, knowledge graphs, and recommendations.

Explore AWS's ElastiCache, a fully managed in-memory caching service that speeds web apps by serving data from Redis or Memcached caches, reducing database load.

Explore how Amazon virtual private cloud provides a secure, isolated network inside a public cloud. Configure subnets, route tables, internet gateway, and NAT gateway to host web and database resources.

Learn how content delivery networks speed up internet content with CloudFront on AWS, using caching, origin access control, and global distribution to deliver assets quickly.

Discover how AWS Direct Connect creates a private, dedicated link from your on-premises data center to AWS, bypassing the internet to boost security, reliability, and bandwidth.

Explore the domain name system (DNS) and AWS Route 53, translating domain names to IP addresses, managing DNS records, and monitoring health to route to healthy endpoints.
