Ready to build confidently in the cloud?

AWS Developer Essentials is your first step toward mastering core AWS services. Designed for aspiring developers and professionals, this engaging course brings cloud principles to life with in depth demos and real-world scenarios. This AWS Developer course demonstrates how AWS works in practice, from setting IAM identities and rules to activating MFA, managing access keys, and federating users. You will learn to create secure, scalable networks with VPCs and peering methods, then dig into compute services by deploying EC2 instances, generating AMIs, and configuring Auto Scaling Groups to include alerts. Investigate AWS storage by experimenting with EBS and EFS, controlling access to S3 buckets, and even running a static website on Amazon S3. Each module has demos, assignments, and graded evaluations to encourage learning through hands-on experience. By the end, you will have not just a solid understanding of AWS concepts but also the ability to apply them.

Learn how to securely manage users, roles, and permissions using IAM, and design isolated networks with VPC. This module builds the foundation for secure access and communication within AWS environments.

The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
