Course Description
Amazon Web Services provides various services to replace the need for an on-premise infrastructure. From networking to storage, there is an AWS service available to meet the need and provide analytics to improve performance and predict future needs. As providers of AWS services, we must know the best service to use based on the use case of the organization. Selection of the appropriate services is critical to the effectiveness of the cloud environment and the costs associated with its use.
In this Technology and Management course, you will learn the various AWS services provided for computation, storage, databases, and management in the AWS environment. This will provide the ability to identify the best resources to create optimum results. You will learn how to create a virtual server with the Elastic Cloud Compute, and which database to use for relational database systems, NoSQL, and data warehousing. Finally, you will learn how to design a cloud network with the AWS virtual private cloud.
What You'll Learn
- Identify the AWS computation services, including the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for creating a virtual server
- Design AWS network services such as the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), VPC Peering, Route 53, Direct Connect, and VPNs
- Recognize the various AWS database services for relational databases (RDS), NoSQL (DynamoDB), and data warehousing (Redshift)
- Explain management of the AWS cloud environment using Systems Manager, Cloud Monitoring, the Health Dashboard, and Trusted Advisor
- Configure AWS storage services including S3, S3 Glacier, Snowball, Elastic Block Storage (EBS), Elastic File System (EFS), and Storage Gateway
- Select the appropriate AWS services based on an organization's use case to optimize cloud effectiveness and costs
