Syllabus

Getting Started with AWS

This module covers cloud computing models and AWS Global Infrastructure. Learners will explore cloud service and deployment models, AWS regions, availability zones, and edge locations. The AWS Free Tier will also be introduced to experiment with AWS services at no cost.

IAM and AWS CLI

Learners will explore the essentials of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), including users, roles, policies, and groups, which are the core parts of this module. Additionally, IAM-related services such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) will be introduced to manage AWS resources.

Compute Services in AWS

Learners will explore computing concepts related to Amazon EC2, including instance management and AMI (Amazon Machine Image) handling. They will also examine EC2 storage options, Amazon FSx for file systems, and AWS Batch for batch processing. By the end of this module, learners will be able to efficiently manage and deploy computing resources on AWS.

AWS Storage Options

Learners will be introduced to Amazon S3, which covers essential topics such as bucket creation, policy management, versioning, and advanced features. They will also explore Cross-Region Replication, S3 storage classes, and Lifecycle Policies. By the end of this module, learners will be equipped to manage data on Amazon S3 securely and efficiently.

Networking, Load Balancing and Auto Scaling using AWS

This module covers the essentials of Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), including their benefits, components like subnets and route tables. It also equips the learners with advanced VPC concepts such as VPC peering and AWS Transit Gateway. Additionally, learners will explore load balancing and auto-scaling, including creating and managing network load balancers, and setting up auto-scaling groups.
