Course Overview

Cloud computing has revolutionized the way businesses operate, offering scalable, flexible, and cost-efficient solutions for managing IT infrastructure. As one of the leading cloud service providers, Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a vast ecosystem of services that cater to various industries. Understanding AWS is essential for professionals seeking to build cloud expertise, optimize business processes, and enhance security in cloud environments. This course serves as a foundational guide to AWS, covering essential concepts, security principles, pricing models, and core services necessary for cloud practitioners.

This course begins with an introduction to cloud computing, explaining its benefits, key concepts, and deployment models such as public, private, and hybrid clouds. It explores AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), networking through Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), and core services like Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Amazon S3 for storage. The course also covers fault tolerance, elasticity, DNS management, and content delivery networks (CDNs) using Route 53 and CloudFront. Additionally, it introduces monitoring and auditing tools like AWS CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and Config, followed by an overview of databases (RDS, DynamoDB, and ElastiCache) and serverless computing with AWS Lambda. The final sections provide insights into security and compliance, AWS pricing and billing, support plans, and best practices for cost optimization.

By the end of this course, learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of AWS services, cloud security best practices, and cost management strategies, equipping them with the knowledge required to pass the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam and confidently navigate the AWS ecosystem.
