Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Amazon EC2 and VPC are core services in the AWS ecosystem, essential for deploying and managing scalable, secure, and customizable cloud infrastructure. Mastering these services is critical for developers and DevOps professionals who aim to automate cloud operations and build flexible cloud environments. This course leverages Python and the Boto3 library to help learners interact programmatically with AWS, allowing them to manage EC2 instances and VPC configurations efficiently and effectively. Gaining hands-on experience with Boto3 not only streamlines cloud workflows but also enhances your skillset in infrastructure-as-code practices.

This course begins with setting up your development environment across Windows and macOS, including AWS CLI, Python, and Boto3 installation. It then dives into building custom VPCs using Boto3—covering everything from internet gateways, public and private subnets, and route tables to IP configurations. You’ll progress to creating and managing EC2 instances, including key pairs, security groups, and startup scripts. By the end, you'll be able to launch and manage an entire AWS infrastructure through Python scripts, modify and monitor EC2 instances, and automate essential cloud operations.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to automate EC2 and VPC management using Python and Boto3, enabling you to build, manage, monitor, and scale AWS cloud infrastructure confidently in real-world environments.
