Integrating AWS with the SDK

About

In this course, we start with the basics of AWS Identity and Access Management to understand the different forms of authentication and security when integrating AWS services. We refactor an existing application using the AWS SDK to replace storage functionality with Amazon Simple Storage Service and Amazon DynamoDB. Next, we investigate using compute services Amazon EC2 and AWS Lambda to run our application code. In the final upgrade, we expose the application functionality as an API with Amazon API Gateway. Our experienced instructors take you on a deep dive on the workings and benefits of each service.

This course will provide a combination of video-based lectures, demonstrations and hands-on lab exercises, taking you from concept to an API-based application hosted in AWS.

What you will learn

--Describe how to integrate an application with AWS APIs using the SDK
--Describe how to authenticate and authorize requests to AWS APIs
--Use Amazon API Gateway to host, authenticate and authorize your own APIs.
--Build a function using AWS Lambda for compute.
--Store application data in Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3.
--Describe the types of data best suited to storage services Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3.
