Explore how cloud computing grew from on-premises data centers, comparing local devices to data center servers powering streaming services like Netflix and stock trades at Nasdaq.
Discover cloud computing benefits that boost agility, elasticity, cost savings, and global deployment, enabling rapid experimentation with services like SageMaker and scalable capacity for peak traffic.
Assess AWS cost dynamics using free tier, reserved pricing, compute savings plan, and spot pricing, then optimize with auto scaling, rightsizing, and CloudWatch insights to forecast bills.
Explore the five Amazon EC2 instance types: general purpose, compute optimized, memory optimized, accelerated computing, and storage optimized, and learn their workloads and performance characteristics.
Compare vertical scaling, moving to a bigger server with cutover downtime and limits, to horizontal scaling, adding more servers behind a load balancer that may require refactoring of legacy code.
Examine EC2 challenges like AMI management, security patching, overhead, and cost, plus keeping apps highly available across zones, and learn how Lambda emerged for efficient S3 file processing.
AWS Lambda is an AWS compute service to run your code without provisioning any servers, either physical or virtual.
Explore how Docker containers package code, dependencies, and runtime into portable images that run consistently from development to production. Understand Docker images, Docker files, repositories, and basic container orchestration with Kubernetes.
Kubernetes runs your containerized application on nodes through a master control plane. It coordinates etcd, Cube Scheduler, Cube Controller Manager, Cube API Server, Cubelet, and Cube Proxy to manage state.
Explore a complete Kubernetes roadmap for freshers, from fundamentals to advanced topics like observability, security, networking, managed cloud services, DevOps, service mesh, API gateways, and day operations.
Explore AWS marketplace to find, buy, and start using third-party software and professional services. Subscribe and deploy with one click, enjoy consolidated billing, flexible pricing, and AWS security.
Explore AWS global infrastructure, regions and availability zones deliver redundancy and scalability across data centers, with encrypted traffic and high bandwidth, and you can deploy across regions using infrastructure as code.
Explore how a VPC provides a logically isolated network with separate subnets, security boundaries, and environment separation (dev, test, prod), enabling internal traffic, monitoring, and hybrid on-prem connectivity.
Explore how AWS offers familiar SQL and NoSQL databases with managed services like Amazon RDS and Aurora, plus DynamoDB, delivering high availability, automated backups, scaling, and cost efficiency.
Enable https by deploying a cloudfront distribution in front of an S3 static website, improving speed with edge locations and caching, and set the default root object to detailed-resume.html.
Attach a Route 53 custom domain to a CloudFront backed static site, linking S3 and CloudFront with an ssl certificate, and configure alternate domain names to resolve 403 errors.
