Hello, my name is Will Meadows and in this course, we are going to go over a few strategies for isolating your EC2 instances in response to a security event. Although this might be a very rare occurrence, I think this course is beneficial to anyone looking to get a deeper understanding of network security.

If you have any questions about anything I cover in this series please let me know at will.meadows@cloudacademy.com.

Alternatively, you can always get in touch with us here at Cloud Academy by sending an email to support@cloudacademy.com and one of our cloud experts will reply to your question, concern, or comment. 

I would recommend this course for any solutions architects, developers, system administrators, and network administrators who are responsible for security of their architectures.

Our learning objectives for this course are: To understand how to isolate an EC2 instances’ network communication with various levels of granularity. We will also look to understand the positives and negatives associated with each technique we are about to cover.

Finally, you will be able to perform this isolation and know the steps required to isolate an EC2 instance at each network level.

You should have a decent understanding of cloud computing and cloud architectures, specifically with Amazon Web Services. You should know about VPC, Security groups, NACLS, and all the basic level networking concepts for AWS. It would be helpful if you have some background in IT or network security, but not required.
