Course description

The Cloud Computing with Amazon Web Services (AWS) course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of cloud computing concepts and practical experience with AWS, the leading cloud service provider. This course covers the fundamentals of cloud architecture, AWS tools, and services, and teaches students how to deploy, manage, and scale applications in the cloud.

Key Learning Areas:

• Introduction to Cloud Computing: Learn the basics of cloud computing, its benefits, and different service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and deployment models (public, private, hybrid).
• AWS Overview: Gain hands-on experience with AWS core services such as EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud), S3 (Simple Storage Service), RDS (Relational Database Service), and VPC (Virtual Private Cloud).
• Cloud Security: Understand key AWS security concepts, including Identity and Access Management (IAM), encryption, and compliance.
• Storage and Databases: Explore AWS storage solutions, including S3, Glacier, and EBS, as well as database management with RDS and DynamoDB.
• Elasticity and Scalability: Learn how to scale applications using AWS services like Auto Scaling, Load Balancing, and CloudWatch.
• Networking: Understand the fundamentals of networking in the cloud, including setting up VPC, subnets, routing, and security groups.
• Deployment & Automation: Learn how to automate the deployment process using tools such as AWS CloudFormation and AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
• Cost Management: Understand AWS pricing models, how to estimate costs using AWS pricing calculators, and how to manage and optimize cloud spending.
