Learning Objectives
Cloud computing is the on-demand provision of IT infrastructure. Amazon Web Services provides various computing services, including Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Lambda.
In this Cloud Lab, you’ll explore the global infrastructure of AWS and discuss how it is organized in regions and availability zones. Next, you’ll create a new user with the required permissions and then log in with the new user to complete the rest of the lab. Moving on, you’ll explore the major computing services offered by AWS and the customization options these services provide. Moreover, you’ll use a storage service provided by AWS and understand how storage and compute resources work together. Lastly, you’ll explore web server hosting with compute instances while managing access and security through IAM policies and roles.
By the end of this Cloud Lab, you’ll be well-equipped to configure and deploy your own compute instances and develop an understanding of IAM roles, resource-based policies, and identity-based policies. Furthermore, you’ll learn to use storage instances with compute instances.
The following is the high-level architecture diagram of the final infrastructure that you will build in this Cloud Lab:

Your method is simple, straight to the point and I can practice with it everywhere, even from my phone, that's something I have never had in other learning platforms.
I highly recommend Educative. The courses are well organized and easy to understand.
I prefer Educative courses because they have a nice mix of text & images. I find that with full video courses, it can often be too easy to go into passive learning mode.
