In this entry-level AWS skills training, Bart Castle prepares cloud administrators to learn about basic cloud services and terminology.
AWS isn’t just one thing — it’s a cloud service with hundreds of services that make it easy for you to deploy applications, run tasks, and manage data. But if you’re new to AWS, you don’t need to know everything on the first day. You can get up and running on AWS by knowing just two services: ECS and S3. Follow along with Bart with your AWS Free Tier account and get started learning AWS.
This entry-level cloud training may not map precisely to an AWS exam, rather it’s designed for anyone to go from zero AWS experience to firing up their first EC2 instance. Once you're done with this AWS skills training, you'll know how to plan, run, and support AWS EC2-based workloads, and use S3 virtual storage.
For anyone who manages cloud services training, this AWS training can be used to onboard new cloud administrators, curated into individual or team training plans, or as an AWS reference resource.
