MIS 3406 Pro Point Project
We were required to watch videos on modules from AWS Academy’s Cloud Foundation course as a reference for class material throughout the semester. For this project we were required to watch every video, complete every lab, complete every knowledge check, and then take the course assessment. The content included in these modules were core concepts on what AWS is, and what the cloud is in general. The first module was an overview on cloud concepts, and in introduction to AWS. The second module was about the pricing strategy of AWS and how cost-efficient moving to the cloud is for a company. Module three introduced us to every service that AWS has to offer. Module four introduced cloud security concepts, and how AWS utilizes security to keep things secure, and data safe. This module included a lab where we set up an IAM role which gives the user certain permissions to do things within AWS. Module five introduced private clouds (Amazon VPC), which is a private network to host all the services one may want to utilize. AWS Cloudfront was also introduced in this module which is a content distribution service which distributes multiple copies of your application across the country. Module six introduced us to computing. We learned about AWS Lambda, Amazon EC2 which are virtual servers to run applications in, and this module has multiple labs to show us how to do set up a virtual EC2 instance, along with creating a Lambda function. Module seven introduced us to all the storage services AWS has to offer. Specifically Amazon S3 which is a storage service that holds files, images, etc. Module eight introduced us to databases and spent a lot of time talking about Amazon RDS, and Amazon DynamoDB. Amazon RDS is Amazon’s relational database solution, and DynamoDB is Amazon’s NOSQL database solution. This module included a lab where we created our own database server through RDS. Module nine introduced us to AWS’s Well-Architected Framework which is operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and reliability. The last module talked about monitoring using Amazon CloudWatch which monitors, and watches all activity across every resource used within your AWS account.
