Learn AWS from the Ground Up—IAM, VPCs, EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, Security, and Real-world Cloud Architecture Fundamentals

Welcome to this comprehensive introduction to Amazon Web Services, the world’s leading cloud computing platform. Whether you’re entering the cloud field for the first time or strengthening existing skills, this course is designed to give you a practical and well-structured foundation.

Your instructor, Ernest, is a Data Insights & Analytics Cloud Engineer at Amazon Web Services, where he works directly with clients to design, optimize, and troubleshoot real-world cloud environments. With a background in applied statistics, data science, analytics, and cloud architecture, he brings a unique blend of hands-on expertise and theoretical depth to help you understand how cloud and data technologies intersect to drive business innovation.

This course begins by answering a key question: Why study AWS?
With AWS holding around 31% of the global cloud market, it powers everything from small startups to government agencies and Fortune 500 enterprises. Learning AWS not only enhances your technical capability—it significantly improves your career competitiveness.

You’ll start with cloud fundamentals, explore AWS infrastructure, and learn how to confidently navigate the AWS Console. Step by step, you’ll build core skills across compute, storage, networking, IAM, and databases—the foundational services behind nearly every AWS solution.

Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, you will:

  • Set up your own AWS account
  • Implement IAM users, groups, roles, and permissions
  • Build and secure networks using VPCs, subnets, route tables, security groups, and ACLs
  • Work with S3, lifecycle policies, and other storage services
  • Launch and connect to EC2 instances
  • Work with relational (RDS, Aurora) and NoSQL (DynamoDB) databases
  • Build and test serverless functions using AWS Lambda

By the end of the course, you’ll have a practical understanding of the AWS ecosystem, hands-on experience with major services, and the confidence to design secure, scalable, cloud-native solutions.

Who this course is for:

  • Basic computer literacy (no cloud experience required)
  • A laptop or desktop capable of running a browser and accessing cloud resources
  • Willingness to create a free AWS account (instructions provided)
