AWS: Networking and Security Best Practices: 2-in-1

Course details

Amazon Web Services (AWS) dominates the public cloud market by a huge margin and continues to be the first choice for many organizations. Networking has been an area of focus for all the leading cloud service providers. AWS has a suite of network-related products which help in performing network related tasks on AWS.

This comprehensive 2-in-1 course teaches you how to integrate different Amazon services for your applications. You will then learn the fundamental technologies like Identity Access Management (IAM) and Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). You will also practically demonstrate how to create a secure and isolated virtual datacenter in the cloud. It covers each and every concept of AWS networking and security with the help of practical examples making it easy for you to understand and implement in your own applications.

This training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, Practical AWS Networking, starts off with covering the basics of networking in AWS. You will then learn how to use AWS VPC to create an isolated virtual cloud for performing network-related tasks. You will also be glanced through AWS Direct Connect after taking a deep dive into scalability and load balancing using the auto scaling feature, Elastic Load Balancing, and Amazon Route S3. Finally, you will learn security best practices for your network.

The second course, Networking and Security Best Practices on AWS, will show you how to get started with the fundamental technologies required to secure your applications from the beginning of the architecture/development process such as Identity Access Management (IAM) and Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). Combined, these two technologies give you the essential capability you will need to create a secure and isolated virtual datacenter in the cloud, complete with fine-grained user access controls and activity monitoring.

By the end of this Learning Path, you will have hands-on experience of working with network tasks on AWS.
