1
00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:09,750
- Welcome to our first demonstration.

2
00:00:09,750 --> 00:00:14,370
In this demo we're gonna take
a look at the AWS console

3
00:00:14,370 --> 00:00:16,620
and become a little bit more familiar

4
00:00:16,620 --> 00:00:18,230
with the way that we're going to be moving

5
00:00:18,230 --> 00:00:21,960
around through it, as quite
a lot of the demonstrations

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,780
are going to utilize the console.

7
00:00:24,780 --> 00:00:27,607
The AWS console is
basically how you interact

8
00:00:27,607 --> 00:00:30,960
with the AWS ecosystem using a browser

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,160
and it does require credentials

10
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:35,227
and so we are gonna have to log in.

11
00:00:35,227 --> 00:00:38,513
I have already gone to aws.amazon.com

12
00:00:38,513 --> 00:00:41,770
and what you'll find with the AWS console

13
00:00:41,770 --> 00:00:46,160
is that anytime you see
bright orange buttons,

14
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:47,940
those are important tasks.

15
00:00:47,940 --> 00:00:50,310
And so we're gonna go up
to this top right corner

16
00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:52,910
where we have 'sign in to
the AWS console' and click

17
00:00:54,190 --> 00:00:58,100
And, as we have not created
any other users yet --

18
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:01,030
I only have a root user available --

19
00:01:01,030 --> 00:01:03,760
we're gonna go ahead
and log in using that.

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,990
Now I've already saved it there

21
00:01:06,990 --> 00:01:11,990
And once we hit next,
it's going to do a captcha

22
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:15,130
and we're gonna have to
type this in properly

23
00:01:15,130 --> 00:01:17,120
before we do anything else.

24
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,090
We're gonna find out if I can do it right

25
00:01:19,090 --> 00:01:20,633
on the first try.

26
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:25,743
And I did not, so we'll do it again.

27
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,560
There we go.

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,560
And now I enter my password,
but that's not all.

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,680
I also have MFA set up.

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,060
We're gonna talk a little bit about MFA,

31
00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:41,630
or multifactor authentication.

32
00:01:41,630 --> 00:01:46,630
For my account I use a mobile
app called Authy -- A U T H Y.

33
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,370
But you can use really
any app that allows you

34
00:01:51,370 --> 00:01:55,110
to scan a QR code like
Google authenticator.

35
00:01:55,110 --> 00:01:58,810
So let me go ahead and type in my token.

36
00:01:58,810 --> 00:02:02,163
Soon as it switches over to
the new one, there we go.

37
00:02:04,930 --> 00:02:06,023
And we're logged in.

38
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,440
Now I happen to have no
recently visited services.

39
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,500
This is the first time
I've used this account

40
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:14,333
in this browser

41
00:02:14,333 --> 00:02:16,240
And so it's not going to remember

42
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,083
any of the previous behavior.

43
00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:21,860
So what we're gonna take a look at first

44
00:02:21,860 --> 00:02:25,943
is the fact that on every page in AWS

45
00:02:27,490 --> 00:02:30,523
there's a bottom left
hand corner for feedback.

46
00:02:31,460 --> 00:02:33,790
If you run into a problem

47
00:02:33,790 --> 00:02:36,600
or you just like to make suggestions,

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,183
you can do that here.

49
00:02:39,170 --> 00:02:42,460
And these don't just
drop into a black hole.

50
00:02:42,460 --> 00:02:46,120
In fact, there are entire teams
at AWS who are responsible

51
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,920
for these messages as they make their way

52
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:52,163
through to slack channels on the back end.

53
00:02:53,850 --> 00:02:56,040
Now we can see here all
the way at the top left,

54
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,440
we have services,

55
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,490
so we can click here and we can see all

56
00:02:59,490 --> 00:03:04,060
of the different building
blocks but we would need to know

57
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:06,490
which of those building
blocks the services are in

58
00:03:06,490 --> 00:03:08,640
that we would like to look at.

59
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:11,050
We can also just search for them here.

60
00:03:11,050 --> 00:03:13,380
We can type the word compute

61
00:03:13,380 --> 00:03:16,850
or we could provide a more
specific name like EC2

62
00:03:18,010 --> 00:03:20,978
and it's going to come up exactly.

63
00:03:20,978 --> 00:03:24,250
Now we can drill down
farther than services.

64
00:03:24,250 --> 00:03:25,960
There's also features:

65
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,150
blogs, documentation and so forth

66
00:03:29,150 --> 00:03:33,535
for every one of these
terms that we put in there.

67
00:03:33,535 --> 00:03:37,244
Now, the one of the services
that I'd like to show you,

68
00:03:37,244 --> 00:03:42,244
you can remember it as PHD:
the Personal Health Dashboard.

69
00:03:42,540 --> 00:03:44,930
This is one way of getting a view

70
00:03:44,930 --> 00:03:48,960
of what's going on in your AWS account.

71
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,540
Now, if I had a bunch of
workloads deployed with resources

72
00:03:53,540 --> 00:03:56,380
when AWS performs maintenance,

73
00:03:56,380 --> 00:03:59,020
a lot of times that will show up in here

74
00:03:59,020 --> 00:04:01,200
as scheduled events or changes

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,853
and you can react accordingly.

76
00:04:05,330 --> 00:04:07,660
And we can also go at the top right.

77
00:04:07,660 --> 00:04:10,330
We can see that the
personal health dashboard

78
00:04:10,330 --> 00:04:12,230
is a global service.

79
00:04:12,230 --> 00:04:14,600
It does show a list of regions

80
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,040
but we would need to pick
a region scoped service

81
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,460
like EC2 in order for that to be selected

82
00:04:23,460 --> 00:04:26,683
and to be able to move around
throughout those regions.

83
00:04:27,820 --> 00:04:31,350
At the top right is an important dropdown

84
00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:33,510
where we can see our account ID

85
00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:35,940
And then we could look at account details,

86
00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:40,450
the billing dashboard, and
our security credentials.

87
00:04:40,450 --> 00:04:42,690
So that finishes this first demo

88
00:04:42,690 --> 00:04:46,540
And we're gonna be doing a
lot more in the AWS console,

89
00:04:46,540 --> 00:04:49,853
So it helps to become a little
bit familiar with it first.
