Learn Amazon Web Services (AWS) from zero with this free, hands on course covering EC2, S3, RDS, Elastic Beanstalk, and more through practical lab sessions. If you've been wanting to get started with cloud computing but found AWS overwhelming, this free course stood out. It's a high paced, practical introduction from BackSpace Academy, instructors who have been teaching AWS since 2014. Instead of just talking about services, you'll dive straight into lab sessions where you actually do things, launch an EC2 web server, create a WordPress site, connect to an RDS database, store files on S3, send emails with SES, and even set up a highly available NodeJS backend with Elastic Beanstalk.

This Course Offers

• A complete, hands on tour of core AWS services: You'll get practical experience with compute (EC2), storage (S3), databases (RDS), application services (SES), and management tools (CloudWatch).
• Real world projects you can follow along with: You'll launch a WordPress server on EC2, create a NodeJS backend with high availability, and use the AWS Command Line Interface, all in guided lab sessions.
• A solid foundation for further learning: This course is the first section of a popular AWS Certified Associate course, so it's designed to give you the essential knowledge to build upon.
• Subtitles in 24 languages: The course is accessible to a global audience, with professional subtitles to help non native English speakers follow along.
