AWS: Compute and Storage

Overview

AWS: Compute and Storage is the second course of Exam Prep DVA-C02: AWS Certified Developer Associate Specialization. This course provides fundamentals of EC2 concepts, including instance types, purchasing options, and storage solutions. It explores serverless computing with AWS Lambda and AWS SAM, demonstrating how to build, deploy, and manage serverless applications. This course facilitates learners with approximately 3:00-3:30 Hours of Video lectures that provide both Theory and Hands-On knowledge. Also, Graded and Ungraded Quizzes are provided with every module to test the ability of learners. It is divided into two modules and each module is further segmented by Lessons and Video Lectures. - Module 1: Compute in AWS - Module 2: Storage in AWS This course is designed for professionals seeking to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of core AWS services, including compute and storage, crucial for building and deploying applications on the AWS platform, regardless of their job function within development. By the end of the course, learners will be able to: - Analyze different EC2 purchasing options to optimize costs. - Use AWS Elastic Beanstalk and AWS Lambda for deploying and managing applications without managing servers. - Understand the core concepts of AWS storage services and utilize storage solutions for various use cases.

Syllabus

Compute in AWS

Welcome to Week 1 of the AWS: Compute and Storage course. This week, we'll delve into Amazon EC2, covering its fundamentals, instance types, purchasing options, and storage solutions, including volumes and encryption. We'll also explore AWS Elastic Beanstalk for application deployment and AWS Lambda for serverless computing, accompanied by practical demos. Additionally, we'll introduce the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM), guiding you through installing the CLI, creating, packaging, and deploying Lambda functions, and integrating API Gateway and databases. By week's end, you'll have a solid foundation in these core AWS services, preparing you for more advanced topics ahead.

Storage in AWS

Welcome to Week 2. This week, we'll explore Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), covering its features, versioning, access control mechanisms (ACLs and bucket policies), and object lifecycle management. We'll delve into various S3 storage classes, including Glacier, and understand their use cases. Additionally, we'll discuss encryption methods to secure your data in S3. Next, we will explore Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), and Amazon Elastic File System (EFS), guiding you through the process of mounting an EFS file system onto an EC2 instance.
