Understand what AWS Lambda functions are used for and how to use them

Basics of Python

Boto3 Library: a Python Library for Programming AWS

Automating notifications, cost-ops, tests and policies using AWS Lambda

Why take this course?

The use of AWS Lambda Functions with Python and the Boto3 library are one of the most underutilized services that AWS offers and, when combined, are an AWS practitioner's dream tool. We've designed this course for users wanting to gain proficiency without spending so much time on lecture material that they have to go back and constantly review before going forward because the information is so dense.

This course will cover all you need to know to actually start using AWS Lambda to develop your own maintainence, operations and development tasks in AWS. You'll learn how to set up and automate tasks that would therwise take a lot of time to do even using the AWS CLI or custom scripts.

Boto3 is a Python based library written for the express purpose of interactive with AWS and, as such, has built-in classes and methods for interacting with virtually every AWS service that exists. AWS Lambda Functions with Python and Boto3 will also give you flexibility and many more options to program complex automation all in one place without the need to use many different tools.

We're excited about this topic and know that once you see what AWS lambda can do for you that you will wonder how you ever did without it.

This is a great course! i like the practical approach and how it gets to the point. This course is really good if you need to get working knowldge fast (for your job, a class, etc). It clearly takes you through the steps of provisioning a function and how to work with the code to do some very powerful things quickly. A person could almost use this for infrastructure provisioning if you versioned the code. But you can also automate some really cool things and interact with other services as well (slack, MS Teams, etc). Some of the slides would be better if they were zoomed in on, but I emailed the instructor and he told me that he is in the process of re-working some of the lectures and adding new ones. Bottom line, I highly recommend the course if you need to get going quickly and with confidence.

The course is useful and manageable. It gives you the information you need to really get going with Lambda functions without over informing you. This is good becuase a lot of courses have so much material that you forget what you learned earlier on. Good Job on the course! I've already put it to good use!
