This is not your typical AWS reference course. You won’t find most of the knowledge that's shared here in the AWS docs. The goal here is to help you realize which AWS features you’d be foolish not to use — features that have passed the test of time by being at the backbone of most things on the Internet.

In this course, you'll learn a technique used to help make reliable technical choices without getting paralyzed in the face of so many options. You’ll start by going through the most fundamental services AWS offers such as DynamoDB, S3, EC2. Each section breaks down how it’s used, the pros and cons, why you should (or shouldn't) be using it, and more.

This course was written by a former Amazon engineer with 15 years of experience working on AWS.

The Good Parts of AWS: Cutting Through the Clutter

# Allow only the HTTPS port in public subnets

Once the hosts are running inside private subnets and with the private security group, we can remove ports 8443 and 22 from the public security group. If we had done this in the previous step, it would have prevented users from reaching our application until the new hosts were created.
