Course Overview
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to cloud computing with a focus on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Learners will gain a strong foundation in cloud architecture, exploring the key concepts of compute, storage, and database services. They will understand the AWS Shared Responsibility Model and implement secure access control through Identity and Access Management (IAM). The course also covers infrastructure monitoring and optimization using Amazon CloudWatch. By the end, learners will be able to design and build scalable, cost-effective cloud-native applications on AWS.

Master the course with just 5 Modules
This course introduces learners to the fundamentals of cloud computing and the Amazon Web Services (AWS) ecosystem, beginning with AWS architecture, global infrastructure, and core cloud benefits. It then explores essential AWS services for compute, storage, and databases, including Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, and Amazon DynamoDB. Learners gain an understanding of cloud security through the AWS Shared Responsibility Model and Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies. The course also covers monitoring and cost optimization using Amazon CloudWatch and AWS Trusted Advisor, culminating in a hands-on capstone project where students design, deploy, and optimize a secure, scalable cloud-native application on AWS.
