Learn the fundamentals of cloud computing while being introduced to compute power, security, storage, networking, messaging, and management services in the cloud. While learning the fundamentals, you will explore tools and services offered by Amazon Web Services(AWS) through interactive, hands-on exercises. By the end of the course, you will have deployed your first website to AWS.14 hoursCloud ComputingIn this lesson, you will learn the basics of cloud computing including cloud deployment models, benefits, and popular AWS options.Servers in the Cloud and Compute ServicesLearn why we need servers, compute power, and security.Storage & Content DeliveryLearn why we need storage and content delivery in the cloud.SecurityLearn the importance of security in the cloud.Networking & ElasticityLearn the basics of networking and elasticity in the cloud.Messaging & ContainersLearn the basics of messaging and containers in the cloud.AWS ManagementLearn why we need logging, auditing, and resource management in the cloud.Deploy Static Website on AWSIn this project, you will deploy a static website to AWS. Course 3: Full Stack Apps on AWS Explore the foundational concepts of designing and deploying scalable, extendable, and maintainable full-stack applications using modern cloud architecture. 12 hoursIntroduction to Full Stack Apps on AWSReview the prerequisites and technical requirements and learn more about what you'll be building. REST API Development on AWSYou'll learn how to create REST APIs, focusing on client-server communication, URL anatomy, request types, and headers.Developing with AWS Databases and StorageExplore using AWS RDS and S3 in Node.js apps, covering database setup, data storage, object storage, and integrating AWS services.Deploying Applications on AWSIn this lesson you will learn the process of configuring, deploying, and launching your applications to AWS. Securing AWS ApplicationsYou'll explore securing full stack apps on AWS, focusing on password storage, user authentication, implementing Node.js authentication, and secret storage.AWS Frontend DevelopmentBuild a React app that communicates with a backend service and deploy it to Elastic Beanstalk. Use Axios for HTTP requests, handle user authentication, fetch data, and manage app state.Image Processing Microservice on AWSIn this project, you will develop a cloud-based application for uploading and processing images!Course 4: Monolith to Microservices at Scale Microservices are becoming the default mode of developing and deploying applications at scale. Microservices architecture makes it easier to scale an application to a large system and is a great enabler for continuous integration and delivery. The microservices architecture allows independent scaling, independent releases and deployments, and independent development so that each service has its own codebase. In this course, we will cover the best practices on how to develop and deploy microservices. You will learn topics such as different microservice architecture patterns, independent scaling, resiliency, service replication, service registration, and discovery. By the end of this course, you should be able to design and build an application using a microservice architecture.21 hoursIntroduction to MicroservicesUsing microservices is both a technical and business decision. In this lesson you will learn about the use cases that caused microservices to become popular.Microservices Design Principles and Best PracticesWhen applied correctly, microservice architecture can deliver great business value. In this lesson, we will compare microservices and monoliths and discuss best practices for refactoring.Containers Using DockerApplications are often deployed in containers. In this lesson we'll learn why we use containers and how to use Docker to build our applications to be deployed as containersAutomating the Application Development LifecycleIn this lesson, we'll learn about why the industry embraces Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment and how Docker helps streamline the processOrchestration with KubernetesKubernetes is a powerful tool that is often used to deploy containers. In this lesson we’ll learn about why we would consider using Kubernetes and to deploy our applicationsBest Practices/Design Patterns for Kubernetes in ProductionIn this lesson we'll learn some of the best practices for running your application in Kubernetes including logging, scale, and securityRefactor Monolith to Microservices and DeployIn this project, you will take an existing application named Udagram and refactor it into a microservice architecture with lean services and deploy it using Kubernetes.Course 5: Develop and Deploy Serverless Apps Refine your knowledge of serverless computing by developing AWS Lambda functions, managing DynamoDB databases, building secure REST APIs, and using Auth0 protocols for seamless authentication.12 hoursDeveloping and Deploying Serverless Introduction to Developing and Deploying Serverless ApplicationsIntroduction to ServerlessIntroduction to the course, and Introduction to ServerlessREST APIIn this lesson, we will cover the development of REST APIL for a group of images, how to store data in DynamoDB and build a web app using React.Event ProcessingIn this lesson you will learn about event processing using Serverless. We will focus on processing different event types with Lambda functions.Implementing AuthenticationIn this lesson, we cover authentication and authorization using Serverless. We will cover Authentication, OAuth, Auth0 protocols.Develop and Deploy with AWS LambdaIn this project, you will create a simple TODO application using AWS Lambda and Serverless framework.Course 6: Congratulations!
