About this Unit
This unit, the first half of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Academy Cloud Computing Architecture curriculum, provides deep understanding of fundamental cloud computing concepts and how it can be applied to build cost-effective; highly available and fault tolerant systems. Students will learn concepts including system virtualisation; virtual machines; cloud networks; basic cloud storage and cloud databases; security in clouds; and auto-scaling, load balancing, and monitoring. All these aspects are explored in practice with AWS services.
