AWS Core Infrastructure (Compute, Storage & Networking)

AWS has around 200 services, and most courses handle that in one of two unsatisfying ways: they teach five of them in enormous depth, or they name all of them so quickly that nothing sticks. This course does something different. It explains what problem each service was invented to solve — because once the problem is clear, the service becomes obvious, and obvious things are hard to forget. What You'll LearnPart 1 covers the 40 core services that everything else in AWS sits on: compute, containers, storage, networking, and the edge. You will meet: Compute & Containers: EC2, Auto Scaling, Lambda, Fargate, ECS, EKS, ECRStorage & Backup: S3, EBS, EFS, FSx, AWS BackupNetworking & Edge: VPC, Elastic Load Balancing, Route 53, CloudFront, Transit Gateway, PrivateLink, Direct Connect, Outposts, and moreEach one is introduced through a practical situation where somebody genuinely needed it. Story-Driven LearningEvery lesson is a story rather than a feature list. You follow one company—an online bookshop—as it grows: Their database ends up on the wrong kind of disk. Their website is fast in Britain and slow in Australia. Their backup script quietly stops running for four months because Auto Scaling replaced the instance it was living on, exactly as designed. Each problem is real, each one has a service that answers it, and by the end, you will be able to explain why that service exists in a single sentence. Master the "X vs. Y" Trade-OffsThis approach prepares you for the interview questions everybody struggles with: "When would you use X instead of Y?"Knowing that EFS is a shared filesystem is easy. Explaining that you reach for it when a t…
