AWS Compute and Storage Solutions

About this course

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. In this course, you'll gain in-depth knowledge of AWS's compute and storage services, learning how to optimize cloud infrastructure for performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency. The course begins with foundational compute concepts, including EC2, containers, and serverless computing. You'll dive deep into popular services such as EC2, ECS, Lambda, and explore strategies for scaling, distributing, and managing compute resources. As you learn, you'll examine ways to monitor compute costs and make cost-effective decisions for cloud workloads. Next, the course shifts to storage solutions, offering insights into the core services like S3, EBS, and EFS. You'll also dive into data security, encryption techniques, and governance to ensure that your data remains protected across different states. With hands-on practices and a focus on managing hybrid and scalable storage solutions, you'll be equipped to design and implement secure data storage strategies for any business. As you progress, you'll gain the ability to plan for resiliency and ensure continuous data availability, even in the face of system failures. Additionally, the course offers crucial guidance on optimizing storage costs while maintaining the performance and reliability of your infrastructure. This course is ideal for individuals preparing for the AWS Solutions Architect certification or professionals wanting to deepen their understanding of AWS compute and storage services. Some familiarity with cloud computing concepts is beneficial but not required. The difficulty level is intermediate, with a focus on hands-on practice and real-world use cases. By the end of the course, you will be able to confidently design, configure, and manage AWS compute and storage solutions, implement data security practices, and optimize resources for both performance and cost.
