Description

Welcome to Hands-On Introduction to Cloud Computing with AWS. I'm Lucas, an AWS-certified professional, and I’m thrilled to guide you through the essential AWS services in a beginner-friendly, practical format.This course is designed to give you a solid foundation in AWS. We’ll start with the basics—setting up your AWS account, understanding the Free Tier, and learning how to set budgets and estimate costs effectively.From there, we’ll dive into the core AWS services you’ll use most frequently:IAM (Identity and Access Management) for secure user access control.S3 (Simple Storage Service) for managing files and storage.EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) for launching virtual servers.VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) for networking fundamentals.We’ll also explore additional AWS offerings, including Route 53 for domain management, CloudFront for caching, different flavors of Databases, Lambda for running serverless code, and toward the end, CloudWatch for monitoring and tools like Lightsail or Amplify for deploying applications efficiently.By the end of this course, you’ll be confident navigating AWS, creating resources, and working with its most commonly used services. Whether you're new to cloud computing or looking to strengthen your AWS skills, this course is the perfect starting point to build your cloud expertise. Let’s get started!
