Learning Path Introduction
This brief course introduces the Managing AWS Compute (EC2) & Block Storage (EBS) learning path and what you can expect to learn by the end of it!
Hello and welcome to this learning path which contains our courses and hands-on labs which will focus on two key services, these being Amazon EC2 and the Elastic Block Store service (EBS). These 2 services are often used in conjunction with each other, while EC2 provides compute processing power for your applications, EBS offers persistent block-level storage through its seamless integration.
My name is Stuart Scott and I'm the AWS Content Director here at Cloud Academy. Feel free to connect with me to ask any questions using the details shown on the screen. Alternatively, you can always get in touch with us here at Cloud Academy by sending an email to support@cloudacademy.com where one of our cloud experts will reply to your question.
The content set out in this learning path is ideal for architects designing new solutions, systems administrators who are responsible for fleet management and maintaining AWS environments, and anyone looking to develop their knowledge across Amazon EC2 and Amazon EBS, especially when preparing for an AWS certification.
This learning path will start by covering Amazon EC2 in depth, providing you with a solid understanding of the service, and the opportunity to get hands-on with the service through a series of labs. You will also learn about the EC2 image builder which allows you to build and define a pipeline for creating your EC2 images.
We then dive into Amazon EBS, looking at its use cases, the different types of volumes available, its security features, and EBS Multi-Attach. Again, you will be given the opportunity to implement and manage EBS using a series of hands-on labs.
