Amazon Web Services, Part 3 of 8: Virtual Private Cloud

LearnNow Online
Updated Aug 21, 2018

Course description

As most of the resources you create in Amazon Web Services (AWS) will be inside your virtual private cloud (VPC), it’s vital that your network is correctly set up from the get-go. If not, your network may become vulnerable to security risks which could result in hacked web applications or databases, and internal resource communication may be interrupted, rendering them useless. Discover the correct way to setup a VPC using proper security measures to keep out uninvited guests.

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.
