Explore the fundamental aspects of Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud deployment and operations. One of the big advantages of cloud computing is not having to have human interaction to get access to or deploy resources. In this course, participants will examine the basics of deploying Linux and Windows instances as well as services such as Auto Scaling, Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), Elastic Block Storage (EBS), Simple Storage Service (S3), JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), and AWS CloudFront. Among the key concepts covered is the deployment of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Linux instances, a web-based service that delivers resizable and secure compute capacity in the AWS cloud, specifically deployed to virtual private clouds (VPCs); with Auto Scaling, you will learn to build scaling plans for operating system instances, for fleets of Windows or Linux instances, for tasks, for database tables, indexes, and even replicas. This course is one of a collection of courses that prepares learners for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner 2019 certification.
