Course content

15 sections • 73 lectures • 7h 25m total length

  • Important Notes1:48
  • Introduction2:05

    Begin your AWS journey with this beginner-friendly course, offering hands-on labs and demonstrations for absolute beginners and guiding you along two paths for technical and non-technical roles.

  • Course Agenda2:46

    Explore the fundamentals of cloud computing with AWS services, from IAM and VPC to EC2, storage, and serverless Lambda, plus security, monitoring, and pricing basics.

  • The Need for Cloud Computing12:31

    Understand how cloud computing replaces on-premise servers, as compute, memory, and storage move to the cloud, while databases and DNS enable scalable, secure remote access.

  • What is Cloud Computing - I5:24

    Explore cloud computing basics, benefits, and the NIST definition; contrast capex and opex with scalable, on-demand resources via self-service provisioning from cloud providers.

  • What is Cloud Computing - II5:56

    Explore cloud computing as renting resources like storage and compute, paying only for what you use. Compare virtual machines, containers, and serverless architectures and telemetry and analytics boost business efficiency.

  • What are Clouds Made of ?12:01

    Explore what clouds are made of by comparing software as a service, infrastructure as a service, and platform as a service, and examine private, public, and hybrid cloud models.

  • Benefits of Cloud Computing9:11

    Explore the benefits of cloud computing, including cost effectiveness through consumption-based pricing, scalability and elasticity, reliability, global reach, security, disaster recovery, and pay-as-you-use resource management.

  • Characteristics of Public CLoud1:21
  • Key Concepts and Terminology5:38

    Explore cloud concepts such as high availability, scalability and elasticity. Learn how agility, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, and global reach address latency, cost, and security.

  • Economies of Scale1:20

    Economies of scale let large cloud providers lower hardware and storage costs, passing savings to customers; competition and commodity costs limit these benefits over time.

  • Capex Vs Opex2:54

    Explore capex versus opex in modern infrastructure, showing how cloud services replace upfront data center purchases with pay-as-you-go, scalable expenditures.

  • What is a Public Cloud ?1:46

    Learn how public cloud models differ, and how shared resources and multi-tenancy enable quick web apps or blogs on providers like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.

  • What is a Private Cloud ?1:22

    Private clouds are owned by the organization, use its data center, and provide self-service resource provisioning, keeping sensitive data on site for HIPAA and data residency needs.

  • Characteristics of Private Cloud1:34

    Private cloud is owned and operated by a single organization, with owner and user the same, on-premise hardware secured by private network, requiring deep technical knowledge to build and maintain.

  • What is Hybrid Cloud ?1:01

    Hybrid cloud blends public and private clouds to run applications where it fits best, such as hosting a website while securing data in private infrastructure for legal or hardware constraints.

  • Characteristics of Hybrid Cloud1:11

    Explore the characteristics of hybrid cloud, including resource location, cost efficiency, and the balance of public and private cloud management, requiring strong technical skills to maintain integration.

  • Review and What Next!!0:29

    Explore the advantages, characteristics, and usage scenarios of public, private, and hybrid clouds, and of infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and software as a service.

  • What is Infrastructure as a service ?3:54

    Learn how infrastructure as a service provides cloud-hosted servers, storage, and networking, with pay-as-you-go provisioning of virtual machines, managed by the provider, and a shared responsibility model.

  • IAAS - Use Cases1:45

    Explore infrastructure as a service for lift-and-shift migrations, scalable web hosting on virtual machines with Tomcat on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, and compliant storage, backup, and recovery management.

  • What is Platform as a Service?2:06

    Platform as a service provides a complete cloud development and deployment environment so developers write great code while the provider handles the underlying infrastructure and updates on a pay-as-you-go basis.

  • PAAS - Use Cases3:35

    Explore platform as a service use cases such as dbms, web application hosting, container orchestration, and big data services. Recognize inbuilt monitoring, automatic backup, and minimal intervention that simplify management.

  • What is Software as a Service?2:28

    Explore software as a service (SaaS) as a cloud-based delivery model where vendors host the software, enable remote access via a browser, and charge subscriptions instead of perpetual licenses.

  • What is Shared Responsibility Model ?9:21

    Learn the shared responsibility model by mapping who handles security and infrastructure across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, using the pizza analogy to clarify owner roles.

  • Introduction to Cloud Computing
  • Advising the CTO: Choosing the Right Cloud Model for a New Project

Description


This course introduces you to AWS products, services, and common solutions. It provides IT technical end users with the cloud fundamentals to become more proficient in identifying AWS services so that you can make informed decisions about IT solutions based on your business requirements.


Whether you are just starting out, building on existing IT skills, or advancing your Cloud knowledge, this course is a great way to expand your journey in the Cloud.

Cloud computing provides a simple way to access servers, storage, databases and a broad set of application services over the Internet. A Cloud services platform such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), owns and maintains the network-connected hardware required for these application services, while you provision and use what you need via a web application.


AWS began offering its technology infrastructure platform in 2006. At this point, AWS has over a million active customers using AWS in every imaginable way.
