AWS Cloud for Beginners

Foundations for newcomers

This beginner course from Whizlabs is aimed at people who want to build cloud computing skills from scratch. It covers AWS cloud fundamentals, the core services that most projects use, and the networking, storage and security topics that every cloud role eventually touches.

Who it suits

The course is a good fit for someone starting a cloud career or moving from a non-technical role into a technical one. It gives a broad overview, so it works best as the first course in a sequence rather than an in-depth look at any one service.

How to approach it

• Start with the core services section to get the vocabulary before the networking material.
• Keep a short glossary of terms as you go, since storage and security use many similar names.
