Storage Fundamentals for AWS
AWS 140, from Cloud Academy's comprehensive Amazon Web Services learning tracks series, is an introduction to Amazon's data storage infrastructure.
As you'd expect, Amazon's AWS has some pretty effective data backup and storage solutions. This course will introduce you to the basic roles and practical use of Amazon's entire storage family. We'll explore the function and structure of Amazon's S3, Glacier, and Storage Gateway services, how those services can be used together to create an end-to-end data backup and storage management system, and how EBS volumes work with EC2 instances.
AWS140 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).
David taught high school for twenty years, worked as a Linux system administrator for five years, and has been writing since he could hold a crayon between his fingers. His childhood bedroom wall has since been repainted.
Having worked directly with all kinds of technology, David derives great pleasure from completing projects that draw on as many tools from his toolkit as possible.
Besides being a Linux system administrator with a strong focus on virtualization and security tools, David writes technical documentation and user guides, and creates technology training videos.
His favorite technology tool is the one that should be just about ready for release tomorrow. Or Thursday.
