There are 3 modules in this course

The AWS Core Services (Compute, Storage & Networking) course provides foundational knowledge of core AWS infrastructure services used to build scalable and modern cloud applications. Learners will explore AWS storage services such as Amazon S3, S3 Glacier, EBS, EFS, EC2 Instance Store, and AWS Backup, along with compute services including Amazon EC2, Auto Scaling, and Elastic Load Balancing.

The course also covers serverless and container technologies including AWS Lambda, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Amazon ECS, and Amazon EKS to help learners understand modern application deployment approaches on AWS. This course is structured into three modules with approximately 6–8 hours of video content and quizzes to reinforce learning. Course Modules: Module 1: AWS Storage Services Module 2: AWS Compute Services Module 3: AWS Serverless & Containers By the end of this course, learners will be able to: Understand core AWS storage, compute, serverless, and container services Configure scalable and highly available AWS infrastructures Understand Auto Scaling, Load Balancing, backup, and storage optimization concepts Explore serverless application deployment using AWS Lambda Understand container orchestration using Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS Identify appropriate AWS services for different infrastructure and application requirements This course is ideal for learners preparing for AWS cloud engineering, cloud operations, solution architecture, and AWS certification fundamentals.

Welcome to the AWS Storage Services module. You’ll focus on AWS storage services for managing data in the cloud. We’ll begin with Amazon S3, including its features, versioning, demo, and storage classes, along with S3 Glacier for cost-effective archival. Next, you’ll explore Amazon EBS and EBS Snapshots for block storage and backups, followed by Amazon EFS with a hands-on session for shared file storage. You’ll also learn about EC2 Instance Store for temporary storage and AWS Backup for centralized data protection. By the end of this week, you’ll understand how to select and manage AWS storage services based on performance and cost needs.
