Praktisches Lernprojekt
Throughout this specialization, you will complete hands-on projects that mirror real-world AWS architecture challenges. You'll start by creating and configuring EC2 instances and diving into networking by setting up VPCs with security groups and Elastic IPs. You’ll also work with S3 for scalable object storage, implement auto-scaling to handle dynamic workloads, and learn to secure cloud environments with IAM and multi-factor authentication. Additionally, you will design high-availability architectures and explore cost-optimization strategies. These projects will ensure you not only gain practical skills in AWS but also build a solid portfolio for your career as a cloud architect.
