Description of the training: AWS Cloud Practitioner Training Course: Amazon Cloud Fundamentals
About the AWS Cloud Practitioner Training Course

This AWS Cloud Practitioner training provides a complete introduction to the Amazon Web Services ecosystem. Designed for any professional who wants to understand AWS cloud fundamentals, it covers all the essential concepts: global infrastructure, core services, security, architecture and pricing models.

During this day, you will learn to identify the benefits of the cloud compared with traditional solutions, navigate the AWS console and understand how key services work, such as compute (EC2), storage (S3), databases (RDS, DynamoDB) and networking (VPC). You will also explore the built-in security mechanisms and the AWS shared responsibility model.

The programme covers cloud architecture principles based on the AWS Well-Architected Framework, the available support plans and cost-management tools. Hands-on exercises will let you work directly in the AWS console. This training prepares you for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) certification and lays the foundations to move on to more advanced paths such as Solutions Architect or SysOps Administrator. You may also be interested in our AWS Generative AI Application Development with Amazon Bedrock Training Course, our AWS FinOps – AWS Cloud Financial Management Training Course and our AWS Essential Services – S3, EC2, Lambda, RDS and EKS Training Course.

To continue after the fundamentals: our AWS Advanced Architecture Training Course takes you to Professional level, and our AWS Migration Training Course covers moving an existing system to the Amazon cloud.
