Hello, and welcome to this course where I shall cover the fundamentals of the Elastic Cloud Compute service, commonly known as EC2.

AWS Compute is a large element of the AWS infrastructure, and it's likely to be one of the first service types that you will use, or are already using. There are a number of foundation services that AWS is built upon, Compute being one of them, in addition to Storage, Database, and Network. This course will focus on a single Compute service, EC2 and I will cover all elements from the ground up, ensuring you have a full understanding of each feature discussed.
