AWS Cloud Foundations and Global Infrastructure
Start with the big picture: what cloud computing means, why AWS is widely used, and how regions, availability zones, and shared responsibility shape every AWS design.
Chapter 2IAM, Identity, and AWS Security Basics
Learn the core of AWS access control with users, groups, roles, policies, MFA, and practical least-privilege thinking.
Chapter 3VPC, Subnets, Routing, and Network Security
Build strong AWS networking fundamentals with VPCs, public and private subnets, internet access, routing, security groups, and NACLs.
Chapter 4EC2, Load Balancing, and Auto Scaling
Learn AWS compute fundamentals with virtual machines, AMIs, user data, load balancers, and scaling patterns for reliable applications.
Chapter 5Storage on AWS: S3, EBS, EFS, and Glacier
Understand the major AWS storage models and how to choose among object, block, and file storage based on performance, durability, access pattern, and cost.
Chapter 6Databases on AWS: RDS, DynamoDB, Aurora, and Redshift
Learn the major AWS data services and how to choose between relational, NoSQL, and analytical database options.
Chapter 7Application Integration: SQS, SNS, EventBridge, and API Gateway
Understand how AWS systems communicate using messaging, events, decoupling patterns, and managed API entry points.
Chapter 8Serverless with Lambda, Step Functions, and Event-Driven Design
Go deeper into serverless architecture using managed execution, workflow orchestration, and event-driven system patterns.
Chapter 9Containers on AWS: ECS, EKS, Fargate, and ECR
Learn modern container deployment patterns on AWS and how orchestration choices affect operations, portability, and team complexity.
Chapter 10Monitoring, Logging, CloudTrail, Config, and Operations
Develop strong operations skills with observability, auditability, compliance visibility, and routine AWS troubleshooting habits.
Chapter 11Infrastructure as Code with CloudFormation, CDK, and Automation
Learn why repeatable infrastructure matters and how AWS teams automate provisioning, updates, and environment consistency.
Chapter 12Analytics and Data Engineering on AWS
Explore AWS data and analytics services such as Athena, Glue, Kinesis, EMR, Lake Formation, and QuickSight from both beginner and advanced viewpoints.
Chapter 13Advanced Security, Governance, Organizations, and Multi-Account AWS
Go beyond basic IAM into enterprise governance with multi-account design, key management, secrets, policy guardrails, and protective services.
Chapter 14Cost Optimization, Architecture, Migration, and AWS Career Roadmap
Complete the AWS journey with cost discipline, Well-Architected thinking, migration strategy, disaster recovery patterns, and a roadmap for long-term growth.
