Amazon Web Services

Integrating AWS with the SDK

Amazon Web Services via edX

Overview

In this course, we start with the basics of AWS Identity and Access Management to understand the different forms of authentication and security when integrating AWS services. We refactor an existing application using the AWS SDK to replace storage functionality with Amazon Simple Storage Service and Amazon DynamoDB. Next, we investigate using compute services Amazon EC2 and AWS Lambda to run our application code. In the final upgrade, we expose the application functionality as an API with Amazon API Gateway. Our experienced instructors take you on a deep dive on the workings and benefits of each service.

This course will provide a combination of video-based lectures, demonstrations and hands-on lab exercises, taking you from concept to an API-based application hosted in AWS.
