About the course

With a large part of the AWS cloud being built on Linux, it may not be all that surprising that a lot of the virtual machines that companies and individuals run within AWS are also using Linux.

In this course, we will delve into the world of running Linux systems on the AWS platform. The course will start with some of the basics of using Linux in AWS. Topics like EC2 instances and AMIs will be introduced. The course will then move onto managing our Linux instances. Here we will talk about topics such as monitoring, storage, backups, security, and more.

Upon completion of this course, you will have a good foundation of knowledge to deploy and maintain Linux instances in AWS.

What are Hands-on Labs

What's the difference between theoretical knowledge and real skills? Practical real-world experience. That's where Hands-on Labs come in! Hands-on Labs are guided, interactive experiences that help you learn and practice real-world scenarios in real cloud environments. Hands-on Labs are seamlessly integrated in courses, so you can learn by doing.
