Introduction to Amazon Web Services EC2 and S3
Amazon’s cloud computing platform – known as Amazon Web Services (AWS) – is a pioneer in cloud computing and is one of the leading cloud computing platforms with tens of thousands of developers worldwide. Amazon Web Services is a full-featured cloud platform with web services which span the IT infrastructure – e.g., servers, storage, databases, messaging, load balancing, content distribution, and distributed computing. The Amazon Web Services benefits of low costs, elasticity, and reliability can help organizations of all sizes – from the smallest startup to the largest enterprise.
In this hands-on course, students will learn the fundamentals of the web services at the heart of AWS – Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Simple Storage Service (S3) – through a mixture of lectures, demonstrations, and exercises. Topics include EC2 and S3 principles, cloud pricing, creating EC2 and S3 accounts, AWS Management Console basics, interacting with cloud servers and cloud storage, and security in the cloud.
