Hello, and welcome to this course, where I will discuss different performance factors across AWS storage services.

Before we get started, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Danny Jessee, and I am one of the trainers here at Cloud Academy, specializing in AWS–Amazon Web Services–and AWS certifications. Feel free to contact me with any questions using the details shown on the screen, or 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.

This course is intended for anyone who needs to determine the right storage services and configurations to use within their AWS Cloud-based architectures to maximize performance and meet other architectural requirements.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to identify the proper AWS storage services to use within your architectures as well as various configuration options within each service that can impact their performance, which is typically defined in terms of throughput or latency. I’ll begin by discussing the differences between block, object, and file storage, as well as the benefits they offer and proper use cases for each. Then I’ll delve into the different services AWS offers for each of these storage types and explain how you can configure them to optimize overall performance.

To get the most out of this course, you should have a basic understanding of AWS storage services, as well as experience designing and implementing solutions in the AWS Cloud.
