- Hi there.
Welcome to this video series on Amazon Web Services.
I'm your instructor, Richard Jones,
and I'll be guiding you through this series of videos.
Throughout this course, you will learn
how to use and when to implement many of the tools
offered by Amazon Web Services.
We will cover topics like distributed computing,
Multi-tier Architectures, virtual machines,
storage, databases, and much more.
We will see just how simple and cost-effective
it is to achieve a superior level of high-availability,
fault-tolerance, and security in our infrastructure
and our applications.
We will review a number of use cases designed to spark
your imagination and exemplify architecting solutions
within the rich and varied ecosystem
that is Amazon Web Services.
Just a little about myself and my background.
I have been developing web and mobile applications
for the past 15 years and started using
Amazon Web Services in early 2009.
In the last seven years, Amazon Web Services
has matured incredibly and I have continually strived
to deepen my knowledge and experience with their offerings
by working with startups to build cloud-native applications,
as well as helping established companies migrate to AWS.
As of this video, I have four out of five certifications,
including the Solutions Architect Professional
and have delivered official AWS training
to Fortune 500 companies around the world.
