Really great course, detailing a lot of important pieces of AWS and including things like the key differences between types of S3 bucket and what S3 Glacier is for. Wolfgang is definitely very knowledgeable about AWS.
It was really great to go over the RDS and batch services in the Additional Videos.
It should be noted that to follow the course step by step a credit card will be needed to purchase a domain and to pay for the use of the wiki and Windows instance types. Also, following the Batch guide in Additional Videos uses a Large EC3 instance, which is not covered by the free tier and may cost money.
No details on the role used for Lambda functions, selecting create new role when creating the function leads to an error relating to not being able to access EC2 instances. This is easy to resolve by attaching a policy that can see EC2 instances, but it would be really nice to describe that during the video.
I dont think both the Windows and Wiki EC2 instance setups are required, both basically show the same thing (that we can start an instance based on a marketplace type and connect to it). I feel the Wiki instance was more valuable since it details that sometimes you need to access the logs to get the default credentials for the site.
