Individually arrangedAWS Cloud Introduction Training
AWS (Amazon Web Services) is the most popular cloud platform, used by millions of companies worldwide. Why call it a platform? Because the cloud is not just virtual servers — AWS offers more than 200 services, which can be compared to Lego blocks that companies use to build modern IT solutions. These services can be grouped into categories such as compute, databases, analytics, security, IoT, artificial intelligence, developer tools, and many others. AWS has become the natural and primary choice for building systems in the 21st century, enabling faster and more efficient development than ever before. Additionally, it allows systems to be built on global, scalable infrastructure, all within a “pay-as-you-go” model — aligning costs with actual usage.
What will you learn?
- You will learn the structure of AWS Cloud and its key elements — regions, availability zones, and edge locations — crucial for understanding best practices when designing and building systems and applications with high availability.
- You will review the most important networking services required to ensure system security, and see how to connect cloud resources with on-premises infrastructure in hybrid environments.
- You will explore AWS’s 200+ services, including how to create and manage virtual servers, configure auto-scaling groups, and adapt infrastructure to real demand.
- You will explore various storage options in AWS, from object storage to specialized databases, and learn how to analyze data efficiently with cloud-native services.
- You will learn cloud environment management best practices, including cost control and monitoring.
- You will test modern application-building methods using containers, serverless technologies, and artificial intelligence.
