- The goals of the project included completing all 10 modules for the AWS Academy Cloud Foundations canvas course to help us better understand the content being taught in our Cloud Architecture class.
- Some of the course topics that was discussed included:
- AWS Well-Architected Framework Design Principles
- Creating instance-based web servers
- AWS Services (Compute, Storage, Database, Networking)
- Networks and the AWS Platform
- Serving webpages with cloudfront CDN
- Structure and security of a VPC (private and public subnets, security groups vs NACLs, internet gateway, routers)
- Creating lambda functions (creating APIS of our own that communicate with other APIs)
- From learning what are virtual machines to building our own APIs that communicate with other APIs, I was able to learn a great amount from Professor Doyle and his Cloud Architecture course. By providing the additional resources of AWS Academy, I was able to dive deeper into AWS and better understand the in-class activities and projects that my classmates and I were able to work through together as a team.
