AWS Foundations & Cloud Architecture

This course launches the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Specialization with the foundational cloud and AWS knowledge every architect needs. Covering approximately 4 hours and 29 minutes of expert instruction across cloud computing fundamentals, AWS history and global infrastructure, core services overview, and the AWS Essentials chapters, learners build the conceptual foundation for all AWS architecture decisions. Learners benefit by understanding how AWS organizes its global infrastructure, how the core service categories fit together, and how to navigate the AWS Management Console and CLI to begin building cloud solutions. By the end of this course, learners will be able to explain AWS cloud concepts, describe the AWS global infrastructure, and identify the core services used in solutions architect exam scenarios.
