Amazon AWS Training — Cloud Fundamentals, Core Services & DevOps Automation

What Is AWS?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's largest public cloud platform, with 200+ services across compute, storage, networking, databases, AI/ML, and IoT — running in 30+ regions worldwide. AWS powers everything from startup MVPs to enterprise data centers. Understanding AWS is not optional for modern DevOps and cloud engineering — it's the baseline.

Who Should Attend

• Software engineers deploying applications to AWS
• System administrators transitioning to cloud operations
• DevOps engineers automating AWS infrastructure
• Anyone preparing for AWS certification (Cloud Practitioner, SysOps, Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer)

Learning Outcomes

• Navigate the AWS Management Console, CLI, and SDKs
• Provision EC2 instances, configure VPC networking, and manage IAM security
• Implement serverless architectures with Lambda, API Gateway, and S3
• Design cost-optimized, secure, and highly available architectures
• Automate AWS infrastructure with CloudFormation, Terraform, and AWS CDK
• Prepare for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and SysOps Administrator exams
