AWS (Systems Operations)

This course covers the duties of those who are responsible for implementing, managing, and maintaining a computer systems and networking architecture in the Amazon Web Services cloud environment platform. Amazon Web Services supports an array of cloud service models, including Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service, and Software-as-a-Service.

The course provides students with the tools and knowledge they need to support existing cloud resources incorporated in these service models, or on-premises resources that will eventually migrate to the cloud.

Ultimately, Amazon Web Services enables businesses and other organizations to offload a great deal of computing infrastructure to the cloud. This can reduce operational costs, provide access to powerful emerging technologies, and streamline management of that infrastructure. The AWS™ Systems Operations course prepares students to support these advantages in their day-to-day operational duties.

In this course, you will operate Internet-accessible virtual servers hosted on the Amazon Web Services platform that adhere to best practices for monitoring, security, and availability.

You will:

• Configure virtual servers using Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2™).
• Configure virtual networks using Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC™).
• Manage data storage in Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), Simple Storage Service (S3), and more.
• Manage databases like Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) and DynamoDB™.
• Apply best security practices to data, software, and other AWS resources.
• Manage identity and access in AWS.
• Deploy and provision AWS resources using tools like Cloud Formation.
• Monitor AWS resources using Amazon Cloud Watch.
• Monitor and manage billing to optimize cost.
