Compute Fundamentals for AWS

AWS 120, part of Cloud Academy's comprehensive Amazon Web Services learning tracks series, offers you a full introduction to AWS's cornerstone compute services.

Course creator David Robinson begins with the basics: configuring and launching virtual servers in Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). While in some cases, this could be all you'll need to get started, you will also want to at least be aware of some of the ways you can greatly expand the power and reliability of your AWS deployments. So AWS 120 covers tools like Auto Scaling, Load Balancing, Lambda (for event-generated deployments), and the EC2 Container Service, for launching fast and efficient container clusters.

AWS120 is part of the 100 level course series (the AWS Technical Foundation Track) which, in turn, lays the groundwork for our 200 series (intermediate level skills) and 300 series (advanced skills).
