No detailed information available. Its just touching the headings. May be with this we can start working with the basics.

good knowledge about topic and explanation in layman terms which makes it easier to understand the concept. very well taught.

Overall, a good introduction to very fundamental EC2 deployment for users on Linux. I felt that the first half of this course was detailed and thorough, while the 2nd half was not. Also, it is almost all Linux-based, and I was hoping for much more Windows-based instruction in the Windows EC2 section. Even in the Windows portion, the instructor is using a Mac. Would have been more helpful if they explained how to do the same actions, but with programs from Windows (ie: No terminal commands). Still a good course to go through, to get to grips with AWS EC2 instances in general.

Well spoken, easy to understand and follow the step by step procedures

If you are just looking to create a VM or two in AWS then this course may be sufficient for some, however if you are looking to implement and design an entire network to replace your own infrastructure then the course does not cover enough in detail. I would have rated more stars because this course is listed as an introduction, however it does not go as in depth as the names of the sections may have you believe that it should be. What is missing is the actual design stages in each of the Windows, Linux and networking sections and how to tie connectivity together between everything. Please update these sections and I'll gladly re-watch and re-review this course. Thank you.

Worth learning the modules however couple of lectures are too fast. I was expecting to see detailed connectivity methods using keys (like.. using putty on windows PC to connecting a AWS Linux instance first time) . Also connecting RDS via php lecture needs some php skills. Finally it's a good one .
By Nick Barber on 7/27/2016
OK but very Linux specific, not much here for Wintel engineers. Also the repetition of the (probably necessary) legal stuff soon becomes wearing ("you may incur additional charges").

This is a great way to get in to using AWS! Awesome for first time AWS users or for people just starting out that do not have much AWS experience.
By Chuck Finley on 5/30/2015
If you're like me and felt very overwhelmed by all of Amazon's AWS services, this course will save you. Instructor was very clear, almost robotic but it worked out all right. The options on AWS are very similar to his in the step by step videos except for the Load Balance portion. He went a little fast through that part and Amazon now asks for information in a different order and some other bits about SSL that I decided to ignore for now as I don't need a load balancer at this time. I struggled a lot through the documentation that Amazon provided, however with this course I more thoroughly understand how to set up my PHP application using AWS.
