Specialization - 4 course series

The Building Cloud Solutions with AWS Core Services Specialization develops practical skills for building and managing cloud solutions using core AWS services. Learners explore AWS cloud fundamentals and compute, storage, databases, security, governance, monitoring, and resource management while developing an understanding of how these services work together to support secure, scalable, and reliable cloud environments. The Specialization includes five courses covering AWS Cloud Foundations and Core Compute Services, storage, database solutions, security, and cloud management and governance.

Applied Learning Project

Through practical, scenario-based activities, learners apply AWS services to build and manage cloud environments, configure storage and database solutions, implement security controls, and apply governance and monitoring practices. These activities help learners develop hands-on experience in designing secure, reliable, scalable, and well-managed AWS cloud solutions.

AWS Cloud Foundations and Core Compute Services

Course 1, 7 hours

What you'll learn

AWS Cloud Foundations and Core Compute Services introduces learners to the fundamental concepts of cloud computing and the AWS Cloud, with a focused exploration of core compute services. The course covers AWS global infrastructure, essential cloud concepts, and the role of compute services in building and running applications in the AWS Cloud.

Learners will explore Amazon EC2 and understand how to select, launch, configure, and manage cloud-based compute resources. The course also introduces key AWS compute options and helps learners understand how different compute services can support varying application and workload requirements. AWS describes EC2 as scalable, on-demand computing capacity that can be configured to meet different compute, memory, networking, and storage needs. Through demonstrations and practical examples, learners will develop a foundational understanding of AWS compute capabilities and gain the knowledge needed to begin working with AWS cloud infrastructure and prepare for further AWS learning and certification pathways. AWS positions its foundational training as suitable for learners seeking an overall understanding of the AWS Cloud and its core service categories.

Designing Database Solutions on AWS

Course 2, 5 hours

What you'll learn

Understand and configure AWS relational and NoSQL database services, including Amazon RDS, DynamoDB, and Aurora.
Apply database availability, scalability, replication, indexing, and performance concepts to AWS workloads.
Use AWS caching and in-memory services such as ElastiCache and MemoryDB for Redis to support application performance.

Securing AWS Cloud Solutions

Course 3, 8 hours

What you'll learn

Learners, cloud professionals, developers, and IT practitioners who want to understand AWS security services and cloud security practices.
AWS security experience is not required, but basic familiarity with AWS Cloud and cloud computing concepts is recommended.
The course includes demonstrations and hands-on activities covering services such as IAM, Secrets Manager, GuardDuty, Inspector, and Macie.

Managing and Governing AWS Cloud Environments

Course 4, 6 hours

What you'll learn

Learners who want to understand how to manage, monitor, govern, and automate AWS cloud environments.
AWS management services is not required, but basic familiarity with AWS Cloud and cloud computing concepts is recommended.
Develop skills in governance, resource management, monitoring, operational visibility, configuration compliance, auditing, and infrastructure.
