00:00:06,839 --> 00:00:07,672
- Hi there.

2
00:00:07,672 --> 00:00:11,310
Welcome to this video series
on Amazon Web Services.

3
00:00:11,310 --> 00:00:13,346
I'm your instructor, Richard Jones,

4
00:00:13,346 --> 00:00:16,276
and I'll be guiding you
through this series of videos.

5
00:00:16,276 --> 00:00:17,885
Throughout this course, you will learn

6
00:00:17,885 --> 00:00:21,052
how to use and when to
implement many of the tools

7
00:00:21,052 --> 00:00:23,338
offered by Amazon Web Services.

8
00:00:23,338 --> 00:00:26,665
We will cover topics like
distributed computing,

9
00:00:26,665 --> 00:00:29,962
Multi-tier Architectures,
virtual machines,

10
00:00:29,962 --> 00:00:33,222
storage, databases, and much more.

11
00:00:33,222 --> 00:00:35,971
We will see just how
simple and cost-effective

12
00:00:35,971 --> 00:00:39,882
it is to achieve a superior
level of high-availability,

13
00:00:39,882 --> 00:00:43,300
fault-tolerance, and security
in our infrastructure

14
00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:44,950
and our applications.

15
00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:48,442
We will review a number of
use cases designed to spark

16
00:00:48,442 --> 00:00:52,364
your imagination and exemplify
architecting solutions

17
00:00:52,364 --> 00:00:55,196
within the rich and varied ecosystem

18
00:00:55,196 --> 00:00:58,064
that is Amazon Web Services.

19
00:00:58,064 --> 00:01:00,570
Just a little about
myself and my background.

20
00:01:00,570 --> 00:01:03,210
I have been developing web
and mobile applications

21
00:01:03,210 --> 00:01:05,867
for the past 15 years and started using

22
00:01:05,867 --> 00:01:08,784
Amazon Web Services in early 2009.

23
00:01:08,784 --> 00:01:11,720
In the last seven years,
Amazon Web Services

24
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,129
has matured incredibly and
I have continually strived

25
00:01:15,129 --> 00:01:18,143
to deepen my knowledge and
experience with their offerings

26
00:01:18,143 --> 00:01:21,451
by working with startups to
build cloud-native applications,

27
00:01:21,451 --> 00:01:25,542
as well as helping established
companies migrate to AWS.

28
00:01:25,542 --> 00:01:29,062
As of this video, I have four
out of five certifications,

29
00:01:29,062 --> 00:01:31,958
including the Solutions
Architect Professional

30
00:01:31,958 --> 00:01:34,832
and have delivered official AWS training

31
00:01:34,832 --> 00:01:37,523
to Fortune 500 companies around the world.
