Discover Cloud With Amazon Web Services
Do you keep hearing people talking about the cloud and think to yourself, “But what does it actually mean?”
That’s what you’re going to find out on this course! We’re going to learn to use Amazon Web Services (AWS), the global leader and most widely used cloud service. It was also the very first cloud service provider, which means Amazon kind of invented the whole concept.
But what’s it for? At its core, AWS gives you the ability to host websites and servers. But nowadays, it can do much more than that. AWS can help us create applications, use machine learning tools, run big data analytics, and a whole lot more!
The first time you enter the world of AWS, you might feel a bit lost. There are so many services to choose from! It’s a bit like looking at a huge dashboard on a spaceship. There are buttons all over the place, with flashing lights and beeping noises, and you’re terrified of pressing the wrong button.
Don’t panic, though. You’re in the right place if you want to know how it all works!
