This course provides a strong foundation in cloud computing using Amazon Web Services. Participants will gain essential skills and knowledge in the following key areas:

• Gain insights into AWS's core services, including EC2 (compute), S3 (storage), RDS (database), and VPC (networking), and how these services fit into cloud architecture.
• Develop the skills to navigate and use the AWS Management Console to create, configure, and manage AWS resources effectively.
• Learn to launch, configure, and manage EC2 instances, select appropriate instance types, and set up security groups for controlled access.
• Explore Amazon S3 for object storage and EBS for block storage, including best practices for data storage, retrieval, and permissions management.
• Acquire the knowledge to set up and configure Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) with subnets, route tables, security groups, and network access control lists (NACLs) for secure network architecture.
• Learn to implement AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) for secure access, including creating roles, policies, and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
• Get hands-on experience creating and managing relational databases with Amazon RDS and NoSQL databases with DynamoDB.
• Understand how to use AWS CloudWatch for monitoring performance and setting up alarms, and AWS CloudTrail for auditing and maintaining a secure AWS environment.
• Learn to configure Auto Scaling and Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) to maintain application resilience and manage traffic effectively.
• Build a foundational understanding that prepares you for pursuing AWS certifications, such as the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.

• Basic Computer Skills: Participants should have a general understanding of computer operations, including using a web browser, and managing files.
• Fundamental IT Knowledge: A general understanding of IT concepts, such as networking, databases, and storage, is helpful but not mandatory. Understanding basic terms like “server,” “database,” and “network” will aid comprehension.
