We will also talk about Monitoring with CloudWatch, Simple Storage Service (S3), Glacier and CloudFront, along with other AWS storage options. Next, we will take you through AWS DynamoDB – A NoSQL
Database Service, Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS), and have an overview of CloudFormation. Finally, you will understand Elastic Beanstalk and go through an overview of AWS lambda.
At the end of this course, we will cover enough topics, tips, and tricks along with mock tests for you to be able to pass the AWS Certified Developer - Associate exam and deploy as well as manage your applications on the AWS platform. With the rapid adaptation of the cloud platform, the need for cloud certifications has also increased. This is your one-stop solution and will help you transform from zero to certified. This course will help you gain technical expertise in the AWS platform and help you start working with various AWS services.
