Course Summary
The Introduction to AWS for Developers Learning Spike training course assumes no previous knowledge of Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The course starts by introducing participants to the benefits of using AWS and the primary reasons why Information Technology (IT) and DevOps look to AWS for elastic solutions. Next, participants will learn about the major components available in AWS. The course concludes with a lesson on how to implement the major components through live lab exercises.
This is a hands on course, so each student will need his or her own computer workstation. The following software and access is needed:
Windows: PuTTY, Administrator access to install AWS CLI tools
Mac/Linux: Terminal access, root access to install CLI tools
Purpose
Learn how to use AWS as a proficient user of the technology tools.
Audience
