Hello and welcome to this course, which will provide an overview of AWS Lambda and how to get started using the service.  

Before we begin, I’d like to introduce myself - my name is Alana Layton and I’m an AWS content creator 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 e-mail to support@cloudacademy.com where one of our Cloud experts will reply to your question.

This course has been created for those that are looking to get started using AWS Lambda, or for those looking for information about Lambda for an associate-level AWS certification. 

By the end of this course, you should have a greater understanding of: 

• What AWS Lambda is and its benefits

• How to use the service

• And How to monitor and troubleshoot the service 

To get the most out of this course, you should have a fundamental understanding of AWS, including some of the foundational services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon CloudWatch, and AWS IAM. For more information on these services, check out the following courses titled Compute Fundamentals for AWS, An Overview of Amazon CloudWatch, and Managing Access using IAM User Groups and Roles.
