Technology is omnipresent, but how did we get here? And what does the future hold for a world that's increasingly connected, mobile and data-rich? This course is intended to give learners enough technical context to understand how to build solutions in the cloud starting from zero technical knowledge. Before diving into the cloud, we will cover the basics of: how do computers work (including software and operating systems), an introduction to information technology, the basics of modern IT infrastructure, and the cloud careers that will be increasingly in-demand. We will then move into the world of internet connected networks (the Internet), covering local hosts, web servers, web applications, web security, the inner workings of a website and the differences between static and dynamic content. We'll close the course by introducing Cloud Computing, its role in our world, the differences between public, private and hybrid, and why APIs are so important.

As a cloud consultant, you might be working with companies of various sizes. Based on a company’s unique business needs, you might be responsible for evaluating their existing business solutions and offering more efficient cloud resources. In this course, you'll understand the types of services available and their capabilities and know how to appropriately map the right solution for each unique use case. You'll gain familiarity with the AWS cloud infrastructure, support methods, and mitigation techniques. The course begins with a review of AWS infrastructure, including a review of the foundational compute, networking, storage and database services. You'll then get introduced to the troubleshooting mindset and learn about the tools available and the importance of making a plan. You'll then get the details on troubleshooting with AWS services (Amazon EC2, Amazon Lambda, Amazon VPC) before closing the course with preventative controls and scenarios when using Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, AWS IAM, and AWS Organizations. By completion of this course, you'll be well-versed in listening to a customer's cloud technology concerns and how to best position the most efficient and cost-effective solution.

This course gives you a thorough introduction to the python programming language. You'll start by learning the definition of python, its history, semantics, and how it works. The first week concludes by writing a python script to solve a problem. In Week 2, you'll learn about Serverless Architectures and understand the differences between microservices, service-oriented and monolith architectures. You'll build a microservices architecture by learning how to use the following tools: AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, and Cloud9. It's then time to go deep with AWS Databases. You'll see Amazon RDS and Amazon DynamoDB in action, visualizing the important role they play in developing applications in python. The course's final week will cover application integration services. Amazon's Simple Notification Service (SQS), Simple Queue Service (SQS), and EventBridge take center stage as important “glue” components for scalable, cloud-based applications. You'll close the course with a hands-on project, writing some code to use some hardcoded data to write to dynamodb and then convert that into a lambda function.
