About

This course gets hands-on by teaching how to create a new AWS Account, create an Administrative User, and explore the AWS Free Tier. Students can then follow demonstration and explainer videos containing on how AWS Services can combine to create solutions that can be useful in real-life scenarios. The scenarios are grouped into three major categories: Data, Operations, and Architecture. In the data scenario, the instructors will show how a Machine Learning solution automatically redacts PII (Personal Identifiable Information) when data gets retrieved from an Amazon S3 bucket. In the Operations scenario, the instructors will show how to configure billing alerts. In the Architecture scenario, the instructors will demonstrate the usage of Amazon VPC (Virtual Private Network) to fix a network topology needing a private subnet for sensitive workloads while embracing Multiple Availability Zones for higher resiliency.
