The AWS Technical Essentials Training course introduces cloud computing concepts, fundamental AWS products, services, and common solutions with demos, knowledge checks, and hands-on lab activities. It provides learners with the basic fundamentals to get started on AWS.

Instructor: Dan Puser

Lab 1: Introduction to AWS Identity and Access Management

  • The basic structure of the statements in an AWS Identity and Access Management policy is as follows:
    • Effect indicates whether to Allow or Deny the permissions
    • Action specifies the API calls that can be made agains the AWS service
    • Resource defines the scope of entities covered by the policy rule
  • Objectibes
    • Explore IAM Users and Groups
    • Inspect IAM Policies applied to groups
    • Experiment with policies and service access
  • Scenarios
    • Create 3 users
    • 3 groups with the following policies
      • S3 Support
      • EC2 Support
      • EC2 Admin

Lab 2: Launch a Web Application on Amazon EC2

  • Objectibes
    • Launch Amazon Elastic Compote Cloud instance from AMI, with public IP, user data and security group for ssh access
    • Access the web application
    • Connect to the EC2 instance and stop the web app
  • Scenarios
    • Provide bootstrap instructions to the EC2 instance
    • Enable ssh and http access
    • Login and stop the web application

Lab 3: Create a VPC and Launch a Web Application in it

  • Objectibes
    • Set up a new Amazon Virtual Private Cloud with 4 subnets (2 public and 2 private)
    • Set up 2 routing tables (one public and another private)
    • Launch an EC2 instance inside the new VPC

  • Objectibes
    • Create Amazon S3 bucket
    • Modify the S3 bucket policy - a set of permissions associated with S3 bucket
    • Upload and delete objects in S3 bucket
    • Modify an instance to access S3 bucket
      • Applications must sign their API requests with AWS credentials to access other AWS resources
      • One way is to create and distribute AWS credentials with the applications
      • Instead, IAM roles delegate permission to make API requests

Lab 5: Create an DynamoDB table

  • Objectibes
    • Create an Amazon DynamoDB table
    • Use a web application to add DynamoDB table items
    • Use the AWS Management Console to manage DynamoDB table items
    • Use the console to create DynamoDB table items

Lab 6: Configure High Availability for your Application

  • Objectibes
    • Create an Application Load Balancer and an EC2 launch template
    • Set up Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group
