AWS Cloud Infrastructure: Compute, Storage, and Containers

Building a resilient and scalable cloud infrastructure requires a deep understanding of core services and how they interact. This text-based course guides you through the foundational pillars of cloud architecture, focusing on compute power, data storage, and containerized applications. You will transition from a cloud novice to an architect capable of selecting, configuring, and deploying the right AWS services for any workload. Through structured written explanations and practical scenarios, you will learn how to optimize performance, control costs, and ensure high availability. What you'll learn: - Understand core cloud concepts, virtualization basics, and the global AWS infrastructure - Configure and launch virtual machines using EC2, choosing the right instance types and pricing models - Deploy scalable storage solutions using S3, EBS, and EFS based on your data access patterns - Manage containerized workloads with ECS, EKS, and serverless container options like Fargate - Implement infrastructure-as-code concepts to automate resource provisioning safely - Apply security best practices to protect your compute, storage, and container resources We start with fundamental cloud definitions and security concepts before moving into step-by-step written walkthroughs of virtual servers, storage architectures, and modern container orchestration. This course is designed for IT beginners, aspiring cloud engineers, and system administrators looking to build a strong foundation in AWS without any prior cloud experience.
