- Hello, my name is Chad Smith,
and I'd like to welcome you to my course,
AWS live lessons.
Amazon web services, or AWS,
is the world's most popular cloud provider.
Over the past several years
the number of companies using AWS has grown
at a rapid rate
and these companies are increasingly requiring
hands-on AWS skills for technical positions.
This course targets those hands on skills
and will provide directed learning
in several important areas.
First, it will cover the basics of AWS,
including the shared responsibility model,
account creation and global infrastructure.
The introduction will then discuss
permissions, identity management
and how to access AWS
using those identities and permissions.
Next, the course will explain the four foundational areas
of infrastructure and platform in AWS.
These include networking services such as VPC and Route53,
compute services such as EC2 and Lambda,
storage services EBS and S3,
and database services RDS and Dynamodb.
The remainder of the video course
will cover many additional topics.
These will include high availability strategies,
analytics services, management and monitoring services
and security offerings, as well as other service categories.
The course will wrap up
by covering the AWS well-architected framework
and its six pillars.
A little bit about me: My name is Chad Smith
and I've been working with AWS in various roles since 2010.
I've engaged with AWS customers for systems operations,
security and architecture.
As an AWS architect and operations professional,
I draw upon my own experiences
and decisions made in the trenches
to illustrate the concepts covered in this video course.
Technology has always been my passion
and I find that AWS keeps me on my toes
with the increasing pace of evolution of the ecosystem.
I want to share this passion with you
by bringing all of my excitement and energy
into your AWS learning journey.
