Course Description

Cloud computing offers a vast landscape for developers, with countless technologies like virtual servers, Docker, Kubernetes, Cloud Run, and major cloud platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. For beginners, it can feel overwhelming—not knowing where to start, facing unexpected issues like instances not connecting to the internet, or wondering why a virtual machine changes its IP after a restart. Even simple concepts like networking and security can feel confusing, especially when dealing with production environments requiring VPN access.

This course is designed specifically for beginners, focusing on AWS EC2, the fundamental building block of cloud computing on AWS. By mastering EC2, you'll gain a strong foundation that helps you understand real-world cloud infrastructure—why companies configure networks the way they do, why databases are placed in private or DB subnets, and how to improve security.

Why Take This Course?

🚀 Hands-on Approach: Learn by doing with practical examples
🔍 Deep Understanding: Covers the "what," "why," and "how" of EC2
🛠 Real-World Use Cases: Understand common production setups and security best practices
🌍 Career Growth: Build a strong foundation to easily learn other AWS services like VPC, ECS, Docker, and Kubernetes

By the end of this course, you won’t just understand EC2—you’ll have a broader knowledge of AWS fundamentals, making your learning journey much smoother for more advanced cloud technologies.

I look forward to your feedback and hope this course helps you build confidence in cloud computing! 🚀
