Start your journey into the world of cloud computing with a beginner-friendly specialization designed to build strong, industry-ready AWS foundations. Whether you're switching careers, entering IT for the first time, or upskilling for growth, this course takes you from zero to confident cloud user—step by step.  

You will start by learning basic theoretical concepts in cloud computing, such as deployment models, service models, and virtualization. With that background, you’ll easily move into the AWS space—exploring AWS’s entire ecosystem and how it’s organized, understanding its global infrastructure and how major components interact with one another to deliver a robust solution for the cloud. 

Then the specialization moves on to AWS storage and database services — S3,EBS, RDS, DynamoDB, etc. — and provides demos with clear use-case explanations. You’ll also investigate critical AWS security tools, including IAM, encryption, access control mechanisms, monitoring, and the shared responsibility model. 

Last, but not least, you will also understand how cloud billing is done, along with AWS pricing models and cost management tools you should be aware of as a cloud professional.

Packed with real demos, hands-on explanations, and simplified examples, this specialization prepares you with the knowledge and confidence to move toward AWS certification and a future career in cloud computing.

Applied Learning Project

Throughout the specialization, you will practice real AWS skills with 9 hands-on projects, such as:

• Setting up your AWS account 

• Launching EC2 instances using both the AWS Console and CLI 

• Creating S3 buckets and configuring bucket policies 

• Working with RDS and managing DynamoDB databases 

• Designing secure networks with VPCs, subnets, and routing 

• Implementing IAM users, groups, roles, and permissions 

• Setting up budgets, billing alerts, and reviewing invoices 

At the end of this specialization, you will know how AWS operates in the background, and you will be able to understand its services as they connect with all the cloud security and billing.

Whether your goal is certification, a cloud career, or simply understanding modern infrastructure, this specialization equips you with the confidence and practical skills to begin your AWS journey.
