Later in the course you'll learn about AWS Database services, such as Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) and Amazon DynomoDB. Your instructors will also walk you through how to monitor and scale you application on AWS using Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon EC2 Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) and Auto Scaling. Lastly, you'll learn about security on AWS, as well as how to manage costs when using the AWS cloud platform.

Pros

Cons

- Computer science tutorials straight from platform developers are rare and invaluable.
- Course stays focused on fundamentals and allows students a higher level of mastery in the topics covered.
- Courses this easy are rarely this informative.
- Ignores competitors to a fault.
- Course is insufficient on its own. It needs the rest of the series to really teach AWS development.
- Course is too short to be thorough.

Learning the aws basics at the perfect place.

By Mayank Y on 15-Nov-19

Very effective and informative course to get a basic understanding of AWS

By Michał K on 14-Nov-19

Low quality/time spent ratio. Basically tt's a one big advertisement of AWS. And it wouldn't necessarily be a such problem if assessments would be open and examples shown during videos able to do by oneself. Unfortunately you can't submit your tests' answers without upgrading to paid version. Free tier account doesn't allow to do the same things as you can see in videos.
