Learn about the five core services of Amazon Web Services (AWS): compute, storage, database, networking and content security, and analytics. This course examines the most common and important products and services in those five areas. Starting with compute services a key product is Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2), which is a web service that provides secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers. An important storage service is Simple Storage Service (S3), which is an object storage service that offers industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance. Relational Database Service (RDS) is a web service that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the AWS Cloud. Along with networking and content security, this course will also cover analytic services as the final core service. This course is one of a collection of courses that prepares learners for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner 2019 certification.
