Course Description

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the leading cloud computing provider. It's used by hundreds of thousands of businesses all over the world, therefore having an understanding of its services can be a huge career boost.

This course will teach you AWS from the ground up and provide a thorough overview of all its key services. By the end of the course, you will have a solid understanding of what AWS is, what its many services are all about (and what each service does) and which kind of service (or service combination) may be used to meet IT or application requirements.

This course provides all the knowledge needed to pass the CLF-C02 Cloud Practitioner certification exam!

You also get full access to a complete, realistic practice exam that helps you test your knowledge and prepare for the real exam.

But the course even goes beyond the bare minimum of knowledge required for that exam. It's therefore the perfect starting point for your journey into the AWS cloud and also acts as a great refresher for people who've been away from AWS for some time and want to get a thorough overview of all key services again.

After taking this course, besides passing the Cloud Practitioner exam, you can use the gained knowledge to dive deeper into AWS and learn about concrete implementation examples for specific problems.

For following along, you can create an AWS account but you don't have to - for passing the Cloud Practitioner exam and getting an overview of all key services, no practical (hands-on) experience with AWS is required.

As part of this course, you will learn:

  • What exactly AWS and cloud computing is

  • What key benefits of cloud computing are

  • How the global AWS infrastructure looks like & how you can benefit from it

  • What services like EC2, S3, RDS, DynamoDB, EBS, EFS, ECS, Lambda, VPC & many, many more are all about

  • What the differences between related services are

  • How multiple services can be combined to solve certain problems

  • How AWS customers can migrate to the cloud of implement a hybrid cloud solution

  • How to follow best practices when building for the cloud

  • How to best prepare for the Cloud Practitioner exam

  • And much more!

This course provides a thorough services overview and concise summaries for the individual services. You will get access to the more than 200 theory slides and you can go through the videos as often as needed (also to come back and refresh your knowledge).

I’ve always loved Maximilian’s way of teaching—his clarity, structured approach, and real-world examples make even complex cloud concepts easy to understand. The AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 course is no different. It’s well-paced, beginner-friendly, and provides a solid foundation for anyone new to AWS. The hands-on demos and visual explanations helped reinforce the theory. I’m currently preparing for the CLF-C02 exam, and this course has been instrumental in building my confidence. A few more practice exams and deeper insights into the exam blueprint topics would make it perfect, but overall, it’s an excellent starting point. Highly recommended for anyone aiming to pass the certification with a clear understanding, not just memorization.

Another Maximilian Schwarzmuller success! This course certain has helped me review what I have covered in some books, as well as what I have read in Amazon's documentation, except he goes deeper with his explanations, clearly demystifying what, at times, is confusing within AWS' documentation. I am feel ready for my exam after having taking this course. --- ADENDUM --- I just passed my certification exam! Yes, today, Friday, 6 October, 2023. The material was fully covered and helped me prepare for the examination. Maximilian Schwarzmuller gets it right, again! THANK YOU!

I took this course first and then Pluralsight course so I can say that Max created much more valuable content. PluralSight course may somewhat help to pass the exam but Max actually taught me new things about AWS. The only thing that PS was actually better was a PDF available for download. It contained a glossary of all services and terms plus two sample exams. Having a glossary I can print and memorize that stupid AWS names is very beneficial. This site is also helpful, if you ignore designated correct answers and read the community notes: https://www.examtopics.com/exams/amazon/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner/ My final score is 916 :-)

Great course one thing to note, however is there is a lot of details in the course and some things as he clearly points out or not on the test but he’s just showing you how it works you can get a better understanding. So if you’re looking for a quick course to pass the test, I would say this is probably not the best one, since this course is more detailed and take some time but afterwords I’m sure you will have a in-depth understanding.

This is a perfect course for AWS Cloud Practitioner Examination and also to have brief knowledge about AWS services. This course is mainly theoritical as it should be because as it implies it is a foundation course so. This is a course to have an overall basic knowledge about AWS and its services. Max explained each and every stuff very well along with several practical implementation over AWS management console. I would suggest the people who just started this course to maintain notes of it, because it is mainly a theoritical section and you will need to keep notes of it to keep stuffs in your mind. Thank you Max for all your efforts you put in to make such a beautiful course, hoping to get AWS SysOps and AWS DevOps courses as well.

Passed my cert with 959/1000! As always, Max is an incredible teacher. What are you waiting for to enroll in this course? Before that, I've taken his Docker/Kubernetes course, and I'm already aware of how high-quality his courses are. However, keep in mind that, for the certification, you're gonna need a lot of practice through questions. I recommend the 6 tests provided by Stephane Mareek. Do Max's course, then go for Mareek's tests. Review every wrong question until you get over 85%. Then you should be fine. The real exam is not as hard as Mareek's questions, but they surely help you to understand AWS deeper, and in case you're going for another cert, that's a booster. Thanks, Max! Next, I'm doing your Github Actions course! Keep up the good work!

By Rajiv Singla on 10/13/2022

This is an amazing course. I like the way it has been structured to get a newbie to understand the various service offered by AWS. The author explains the services and their purpose very well, along with what would be required for the Cloud Practitioner certification exam. It has provided me a better insight and comparison between different services available. I have also completed the 6-hour course on AWS Skill Builder but it does not provide such perspective as provided in this course. Thank you !

By Nick Bradburn on 10/13/2022

Great course, gives you everything you need to pass the exam. Some of the concepts/questions in the exam do go a little more in depth than what is presented here. If you reason through every detail in each question, you'll usually find a tangent that disqualifies all options but one. I spent around 3-4 days of full studying with these videos, took the practice exam, made some quizlet cards, and passed today without too much difficulty. Experience: 2 years IT + 11 years InfoSec,

By Mark Giglio on 9/11/2022

Quite good overview and has good coverage of the exam topics. Happy to report I've now passed my CLF-C01 exam with over 800. However this course alone is not enough to pass the exam (I don't think any course is tbh). I also read the AWS Overview, the Well-Architected Framework document, and did a number of practice exams until I was comfortable.

By Obi Wan on 8/29/2022

Passed my AWS Cloud Practitioner certification using this course + additional practice tests in less than a week. This course is very good and the delivery is straight forward HOWEVER I found the test here to be fairly easy with other practice tests being more in-depth. The practice test here will prepare you enough to pass but I'd recommend getting others. Minus half a star for the practice test, if there were two practice tests with more variety of questions it would be perfect. Looking forward to more AWS certification courses from Max - would love a Cloud Developer cert course!
