Course Description

What is Amazon Web Services? In this intensive AWS fundamentals course, you’ll learn how the AWS suite of IT cloud computing services can be used separately or in combination to address common problems in computing and how to develop robust, flexible, and cost-effective cloud solutions.

Learning Outcomes

  • Formulate solution plans and provide guidance on AWS architectural best practices
  • Design and deploy scalable, highly available, and fault tolerant systems on AWS
  • Identify the lift and shift of an existing on-premises application to AWS
  • Decipher the ingress and egress of data to and from AWS
  • Select the appropriate AWS service based on data, compute, database, or security requirements
  • Estimate AWS costs and identify cost control mechanisms

Who should take this Course?

  • This hands-on course is designed for those with some experience in AWS
  • If your role requires you to demonstrate business benefits of AWS
  • If you’re ready to move beyond foundational cloud computing understanding
