Why should I choose this course? And why is it so short?

Most lectures in this course are 5 - 10 minutes long. This course gives you an understanding of how AWS works, some of the most commonly used services, how to use the free tier, how AWS compares to other cloud environments, and more!

You can begin this course now, and two short hours you will have a basic understanding of AWS. You will know some of the common AWS services, and you will see how the AWS Console works.

So don't wait - give this course a try now and take the first step towards understanding AWS!

Will I actually learn how to use AWS in the real world?

Yes! You will learn how to sign up and how to take advantage of the free tier. You'll also learn some basic skills in the AWS Console, including creating S3 Buckets and EC2 Instances.

Should I take a longer course focused on AWS Certification instead?

Maybe! But this course will help you figure that out. If you are brand new to AWS this will help you understand the absolute basics and plan your learning journey moving forward.

This has been a very helpful course as I can now put some context around the terminology that I have been exposed to but unclear of some of the definitions.

Issues with lots of the videos loading. Specifically was not able to view 11-14. I tried different browsers and clearing cache and still ran into the same issue. Audio and information was otherwise great

The content was presented well and the presenter is very easy to understand. This a great overview of the getting started with your own server instance in AWS.

wanted more explanation about free tier constraints. Maybe go over an ec2 instance or typical "web server" example and explain the constraints that you should be aware of.

Excellent overview. I am a non-technical person and this course spoke to me in a easy to understand and respectful manner. The insights were great as well as the use cases to simplify the specific section.

Very good for a general overview course. The lecture on basic AWS services was particularly helpful, since I see this stuff mentioned all the time and didn't have a clear idea of what was what.

Very good course which is very simple to understand as a beginner and examples are very good to understand the high level concept.

I tried to create an AWS account just like in this video. Unfortunately, the AWS account interface, in this video, is outdated.
