00:00:06,870 --> 00:00:09,800
- Hello, my name is Chad Smith,

2
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,373
and I'd like to welcome you to my course,

3
00:00:12,373 --> 00:00:14,980
AWS live lessons.

4
00:00:14,980 --> 00:00:18,130
Amazon web services, or AWS,

5
00:00:18,130 --> 00:00:20,983
is the world's most
popular cloud provider.

6
00:00:21,860 --> 00:00:23,800
Over the past several years

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,830
the number of companies
using AWS has grown

8
00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:29,216
at a rapid rate

9
00:00:29,216 --> 00:00:33,210
and these companies are
increasingly requiring

10
00:00:33,210 --> 00:00:36,563
hands-on AWS skills for
technical positions.

11
00:00:38,010 --> 00:00:41,475
This course targets those hands on skills

12
00:00:41,475 --> 00:00:44,030
and will provide directed learning

13
00:00:44,030 --> 00:00:46,143
in several important areas.

14
00:00:47,530 --> 00:00:51,860
First, it will cover the basics of AWS,

15
00:00:51,860 --> 00:00:54,790
including the shared responsibility model,

16
00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:58,023
account creation and
global infrastructure.

17
00:00:59,290 --> 00:01:01,810
The introduction will then discuss

18
00:01:01,810 --> 00:01:05,210
permissions, identity management

19
00:01:05,210 --> 00:01:07,630
and how to access AWS

20
00:01:07,630 --> 00:01:10,853
using those identities and permissions.

21
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:17,360
Next, the course will explain
the four foundational areas

22
00:01:17,530 --> 00:01:21,970
of infrastructure and platform in AWS.

23
00:01:21,970 --> 00:01:26,970
These include networking
services such as VPC and Route53,

24
00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:33,260
compute services such as EC2 and Lambda,

25
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:37,230
storage services EBS and S3,

26
00:01:37,230 --> 00:01:41,223
and database services RDS and Dynamodb.

27
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,660
The remainder of the video course

28
00:01:44,660 --> 00:01:47,910
will cover many additional topics.

29
00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:51,790
These will include high
availability strategies,

30
00:01:51,790 --> 00:01:56,730
analytics services, management
and monitoring services

31
00:01:56,730 --> 00:02:01,587
and security offerings, as well
as other service categories.

32
00:02:01,587 --> 00:02:04,390
The course will wrap up

33
00:02:04,390 --> 00:02:08,760
by covering the AWS
well-architected framework

34
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,143
and its six pillars.

35
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,150
A little bit about me:
My name is Chad Smith

36
00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:20,873
and I've been working with AWS
in various roles since 2010.

37
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:26,320
I've engaged with AWS customers
for systems operations,

38
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,723
security and architecture.

39
00:02:29,690 --> 00:02:34,100
As an AWS architect and
operations professional,

40
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:37,060
I draw upon my own experiences

41
00:02:37,060 --> 00:02:39,710
and decisions made in the trenches

42
00:02:39,710 --> 00:02:43,683
to illustrate the concepts
covered in this video course.

43
00:02:44,805 --> 00:02:48,790
Technology has always been my passion

44
00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:52,310
and I find that AWS keeps me on my toes

45
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:56,363
with the increasing pace of
evolution of the ecosystem.

46
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,080
I want to share this passion with you

47
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,550
by bringing all of my
excitement and energy

48
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:06,563
into your AWS learning journey.
