Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Want to get into cloud but don't know where to start? Start here. You'll learn the basics, then do the work on real AWS.
Most beginner cloud courses throw you into the AWS console on day one. You click around without knowing what an IP address, a port or a Linux shell actually is. We fix that. First the foundations, then hands-on AWS.
Who this course is for:
- Students and freshers who want a clear first step into cloud computing
- Developers who build apps but have never deployed one to a cloud server
- Freelancers who want to host client websites on AWS
- Anyone preparing to go deeper into cloud engineering
What you'll do on AWS:
- Create your AWS account
- Launch EC2 instances and configure Security Groups
- Connect to your cloud server
- Deploy and manage an Nginx web server
- Store files in Amazon S3 and host a static website
- Secure everything with IAM users, roles and permissions
What's inside:
- Cloud computing basics: what it is, why it changed the industry and how modern apps run on it
- Networking fundamentals: how the Internet works, IP addresses, DNS, the OSI model, HTTP vs HTTPS, ports and network communication
- Linux fundamentals: why Linux powers most cloud servers, plus navigating, managing files, installing software and using the terminal
- Cloud infrastructure: public, private and hybrid clouds, plus the IaaS, PaaS and SaaS models
- Cloud providers: an overview of the leading providers, then a deep focus on Amazon Web Services
- Practical AWS demos: EC2, Security Groups, Nginx, S3 and IAM, step by step
No prior cloud experience needed. Bring a laptop and some curiosity.
By the end, you'll understand how cloud infrastructure really works. You'll also have practical AWS skills to take into advanced cloud topics and cloud engineering roles.
Hit enrol, open your terminal and let's launch your first server.
