Amazon Web Services, Part 2 of 8: Security and Identity

Course description

Once you’ve realized that Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the right solution for your business, it’s time to securely, and correctly, create and set up your AWS account. Discover the best way to setup your account to avoid potential pitfalls down the road, how to add new users and groups to your account, and how to best utilize roles and permissions to keep your account safe.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

The AWS Essentials course is for those who are new to Amazon Web Services. You will be introduced to AWS, setting up your own AWS account, and an overview of all of the AWS services. We also dive deeper into AWS's core services. This course assumes a basic understanding of cloud services, but no previous experience with AWS is assumed or required.
