Are you looking to master the process of designing flawless IT solutions on Amazon Web Services? This course will help you figure out how to use different AWS options through examples and hands-on tutorials. You will be introduced to the core concepts and principles of identity and access management (AIM) that you will use in an organizational setting or if you want to build your own applications. Learn about Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) as an essential part of AWS. Becoming an expert in this service will give you the necessary skills that you will need to build servers and other cloud computing tasks. You will realize the value of using a service like Amazon EC2 as it offers a scalable computing capacity in the Amazon Web Services Cloud.

Firstly, the course introduces you to Amazon EC2 instances and tags. See how to connect to your Linux instance using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol if you want to install software or set up an API. Learn about the importance of checking the status of your instance before getting the public DNS (domain name system) name and user name to connect to your instance. This course clarifies that instance user data is used to perform common automated configuration tasks and run scripts after the instance starts. Next, you will learn about security groups, which are essentially the first step of network security in AWS. They are among the most important skills to learn and are used to troubleshoot network-related issues, including challenges that you might encounter while trying to access an instance.

Then, you will gain insight into Amazon Machine Images (AMI), which provide the information that needs to be specified when you launch an instance since there is no way of modifying it afterwards. You can launch multiple instances from a single API when you need a large number done with the same configuration. Study different Amazon EC2 storage options and configurations. Look into the strategies and principles associated with disaster recovery. Finally, you will study Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), advanced Amazon databases and the Virtual Private Cloud. This course will interest programming students, developers and IT professionals interested in cloud computing with Amazon Web Services.
