Description
Welcome to EC2 Masterclass course, which consists of all core and advanced concepts on EC2 and other related topics like IP Addressing, Elastic Block Store (EBS), Security Groups, Placement Groups, Launching and connecting to Linux and Windows EC2 Instances, Elastic IP Addresses, Network Interfaces, EC2 Purchasing Options - On-Demand, Reserved, Savings Plan, Capacity Reservations, Spot Instances, Dedicated Instances and Dedicated Hosts, various types of Load Balancers - Classic, Application and Network, and Auto Scaling etc.
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers. Amazon EC2’s simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon’s proven computing environment.
To use Amazon EC2, you simply:
Select a pre-configured, templated Amazon Machine Image (AMI) to get up and running immediately. Or create an AMI containing your applications, libraries, data, and associated configuration settings.
Configure security and network access on your Amazon EC2 instance.
Choose which instance type(s) you want, then start, terminate, and monitor as many instances of your AMI as needed, using the web service APIs or the variety of management tools provided.
Determine whether you want to run in multiple locations, utilize static IP endpoints, or attach persistent block storage to your instances.
Pay only for the resources that you actually consume, like instance-hours or data transfer.
Even though EC2 is a foundational topic, it is of great importance as it is used in all the testing and enterprise level deployments.
The entire course has been broken down into following 13 sections:-
In-Depth Conceptual Understanding of EC2 & its Components - In this section, we go through the main components required to launch our EC2 instances in the AWS cloud.
Bringing All the Pieces Together - Here we combine all the components together we went through in the previous one, and finally do some real hands-on as we will be launching and connecting to our EC2 instances.
On-Demand & Reserved Instances - In this section, we go through two of the EC2 purchasing options - On-Demand and Reserved Instances.
Savings Plan - We understand how we can make use of Savings Plans to get huge discounts on our compute usage and still get more flexibility compared to Reserved Instances.
Capacity Reservations - In this section, we understand how we can reserve capacity for our Amazon EC2 instances in a specific AZ, when we need it, for as long as we need it.
Spot Instances - We understand the relevance of Spot Instances which enable to you to request unused EC2 instances at steep discounts.
Dedicated Instances & Dedicated Hosts - In this section, we go through the concepts based on Dedicated Instances and Dedicated Hosts.
Elastic IP Addresses (EIPs) - We focus on the advantages of Elastic IP addresses over Public IP addresses.
Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) - In this section, we explore various features, attributes and benefits of ENIs.
Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) - We learn the importance of using load balancers in our cloud infrastructure, different types of load balancers, and finally go through some of the advanced concepts.
Introduction to Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling - We understand the basics of Auto Scaling, and explore its various components and features.
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Deep Dive - Over here, we deep dive into the advanced features and deployments done using Auto Scaling.
Main Quiz - Test yourself by answering some complex questions based on the topics we have gone through in this course.
