AWS Developer Training

Description:

This 4-day AWS Developer training is designed to provide developers with a hands-on, comprehensive understanding of how to build, deploy, and manage applications on AWS. The training introduces participants to AWS’s core developer tools and services, covering everything from compute and storage to serverless architectures and application integration.

The program begins with an introduction to AWS, identity and access management (IAM), and compute services such as EC2. Developers will then explore AWS CLI, SDKs, and scripting before moving on to advanced services like Lambda, ECS, ECR, S3, RDS, DynamoDB, and IoT. Messaging and workflow services such as SQS, SNS, and SWF are also covered, along with networking and routing concepts using VPC and Route53.

Through real-world labs and exercises, participants will gain experience in launching and securing instances, building serverless applications, managing databases, scaling applications, and optimizing storage. By the end of the training, they will be able to confidently design and deploy secure, efficient, and scalable applications on AWS, as well as prepare for the AWS Developer certification.
