Learn why cloud enables on-demand resource provisioning, avoids undifferentiated heavy lifting, and enables global deployment with economies of scale, focusing on AWS compute, storage, databases, security, identity, and DevOps.
Explore how regions and availability zones enable high availability, low latency, and a global footprint, while aligning data location and regulatory needs across AWS services like EC2 and S3.
Explore infrastructure as a service and platform as a service, contrasting vm deployments with managed platforms, serverless, and containers, while noting who handles OS and runtime in each model.
Explore how microservices use containers and Docker images to run anywhere, and learn container orchestration with auto scaling, service discovery, load balancing, and zero-downtime deployments with Kubernetes.
Explore serverless and focus on your code while the platform auto-scales, handles infrastructure, and bills you by pay-per-use across functions, containers, and databases.
Explore block, file, and object storage in aws, comparing instance store and elastic block store for boot volumes and databases, with file shares and s3 object storage.
Explore AWS storage gateway for hybrid cloud and on premise storage, offering file, tape, or volume gateways with encrypted data and cached or stored options.
Use AWS CloudFront to deliver static content globally from edge locations, with S3 as origin and caching for low latency and high availability, and route with Route 53.
Explore AWS management and governance services like CloudTrail, Config, AWS Organizations, Firewall Manager, and Trusted Advisor for cross-account governance, cost optimization, security, and performance.
Explore Cognito for authentication, user pools and identity pools, MFA, and social sign-in, then learn to protect apps with Shield, WAF, Macie, GuardDuty, Detective, certificate manager, and penetration testing.
Explore big data on aws by comparing data warehouses and data lakes and the three v's: volume, variety, velocity, with tools like redshift, s3, and athena.
Explore the AWS well-architected framework and its six pillars—operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability—plus practical best practices for design, automation, monitoring, and cost control.
AWS is the most popular cloud platform today.
