Conclusion

Congratulations! You have completed the course and are now well-prepared for the Cloud Practitioner CLF - C02 exam.

What we learned

We started this course with the basics of cloud computing and learned about the AWS Cloud infrastructure. Later, we learned about the basic cloud concepts, security and compliance, cloud tools and technologies, and billing and pricing. Let's briefly recap what we have learned in this course:

Cloud concepts

• We learned about the AWS Cloud infrastructure and how it helps design highly available, secure, and resilient architectures.

• We explored and differentiated among the pillars of the Well-Architected Framework, including security, reliability, efficiency, and cost optimization.

• We discovered the benefits of migrating to the cloud and tools that help with the migration, including Database Migration Service, AWS Snowball, Amazon Data Sync, and more.

• We learned how AWS allows us to design economical infrastructure using managed services, including CloudFormation, RDS, EC2, and more.

Security and compliance

• We learned about the AWS shared responsibility model and the principle of least privilege for managing security through services such as IAM, KMS, etc.

• We explored how AWS offers services such as AWS Security Hub, AWS GuardDuty, AWS Shield, and more to secure the infrastructure,

• We discovered how services like AWS Config, AWS CloudTrail, and AWS CloudWatch allow us to ensure compliance and governance of the AWS environment.

Cloud technology and services

• We explored AWS compute services such as EC2, Lambda, and ECS.

• We learned about AWS networking services, including VPC, Route 53, CloudFront, and Global Accelerator.

• We looked into AWS storage and database services, including S3, FSx, RDS, DynamoDB, and other storage options.

• We discovered AWS's analytical and machine learning services, including Amazon Sagemaker, AWS Glue, AWS Redshift, and more.

• We learned about multiple fully managed services offered by AWS for application integration, customer engagement, development, deployment, and IoT, such as AWS SNS, AWS CodePipeline, IoT Core, and AWS CodeDeploy.

• We learned about different ways to deploy and manage AWS resources, including the AWS CLI, SDK, CloudFormation, and Management Console.

Billing, pricing, and support

• We looked into multiple options offered by AWS to save costs, including EC2 purchase options, capacity reservations, and serverless fully managed services.

• We learned about services used to manage the billing of resources, including AWS Organizations, AWS Billing Conductor, AWS Budgets, and more.

• We explored the support offered by AWS, including AWS IQ, AWS Support, and AWS re:Post.

Practice exam: Practice makes perfect

At the end of this course, we had 65 practice exam questions with detailed explanations to help you prepare for the challenge. You’re now well-equipped to take that first huge step into the AWS ecosystem.

Good luck with the exam!
