Become an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner: 2020 - Updated

Explore cloud computing as on-demand access to compute power, storage, and applications with pay-as-you-go pricing, and learn IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and deployment models: cloud, on-prem, and hybrid.

Master AWS compute with EC2 basics, on-demand, reserved, and spot instances, and explore Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk, and Lightsail for scalable, secure cloud apps.

Create and access your aws account, pin frequently used services, navigate the console regions, and explore core services while learning about the free tier and billing alerts.

Launch your first EC2 instance using the AWS console: choose an AMI, select hardware, configure VPC and security groups, add tags, and set up a key pair.

Discover how Amazon S3 provides scalable, durable, available, and secure object storage, with management features, encryption, access controls, lifecycle policies, and multiple storage classes for cost-effective archiving.

Create and configure an Amazon S3 bucket, choosing a unique, DNS-compliant name and region, then enable versioning, encryption, and access controls to manage objects, logging, and lifecycle transitions to Glacier.

Explore elastic block storage (ebs) for instances, offering persistent volumes with replication in an availability zone and low latency. Learn about io1, gp2, st1, and hdd ac1 volumes, snapshots, encryption.

Create and attach an EBS volume to two instances using the management console, configure type and size, enable encryption, manage incremental snapshots, and automate backups with the lifecycle manager.

Elastic file system provides a scalable, managed file system for Linux workloads, scaling to petabytes with parallel access across thousands of EC2 instances, delivering high throughput, IOPS, and low latency.

Master identity and access management to securely control authentication and authorization for aws resources, including users, groups, policies, roles, and federation with mfa.

Create and manage users and groups with administrator access, assign policies to control resource access, and explore roles, mfa, and saml federation.

Discover how AWS Relational Database Service (RDS) simplifies provisioning, operation, and scaling databases, delivering cost efficient, high availability options with engines like Aurora, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, and SQL Server.

Launch a MySQL database instance in a fully managed relational service, configure the VPC and security groups, enable backups and monitoring, and learn deletion protection and safe deletion steps.

Explore Amazon Aurora, a cloud-friendly, MySQL and PostgreSQL compatible relational database in RDS, delivering high performance and availability with low cost, automatic backups, 15 low-latency replicas, and cross-AZ replication.

CloudFront is a secure global content delivery network that reduces latency, speeds delivery of data, video, apps, and APIs, and integrates with AWS Shield, WAF, Route 53, and Lambda@Edge.

Configure a CloudFront web distribution for an S3 bucket, enable public access, cache objects at edge locations for 24 hours, and test access via the CloudFront domain.

Explore Route 53, Amazon's scalable DNS service that translates domain names to IPs, routes traffic with latency-based routing, geo DNS, geo proximity, health checks, and domain registration.

Explore the Route 53 console to manage dns, register or transfer domains, and monitor traffic and health for your organization. Create geolocation routing policies and health checks to route traffic.

Explore elastic load balancing that distributes traffic across multiple targets in single or multiple availability zones, with high availability, automatic scaling, and security, featuring application, network, and classic load balancers.

Explore AWS VPC to provision isolated virtual networks, define IP ranges, subnets, routing, and gateways, and secure access with security groups and network ACLs.

Learn to create a VPC with a single subnet, choose public or private types, and configure security groups and an elastic IP for internet access.

Track cloud migrations with the migration hub, using multiple tools to monitor progress across applications and reduce downtime. Learn application discovery, database migration, and large-data transfers via Snowball and Snowmobile.

Discover how AWS management tools enable you to provision, monitor, and automate cloud environments using CloudFormation, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, Systems Manager, Config, Trusted Advisor, and more.

Explore aws management tools like cloud watch dashboards and metrics, set up s3 bucket alarms, and learn cloud formation stacks, designer, and cloud trail for auditing.

Learn how AWS messaging tools SQS and SNS help decouple and scale applications, with standard and FIFO queues, server-side encryption, and fully managed, pay-as-you-go messaging.
