This course gets hands-on by teaching how to create a new AWS Account, create an Administrative User, and explore the AWS Free Tier. Students can then follow demonstration and explainer videos containing on how AWS Services can combine to create solutions that can be useful in real-life scenarios. The scenarios are grouped into three major categories: Data, Operations, and Architecture. In the data scenario, the instructors will show how a Machine Learning solution automatically redacts PII (Personal Identifiable Information) when data gets retrieved from an Amazon S3 bucket. In the Operations scenario, the instructors will show how to configure billing alerts. In the Architecture scenario, the instructors will demonstrate the usage of Amazon VPC (Virtual Private Network) to fix a network topology needing a private subnet for sensitive workloads while embracing Multiple Availability Zones for higher resiliency.

This week, you'll explore the practical aspects of using AWS, such as creating an AWS account and setting up billing information. You'll also navigate the AWS Management Console, including identifying your account ID, Region, and AWS services. Finally, you'll create an administrative user in AWS IAM Identity Center, and learn why it's essential that you create delegated users for different tasks instead of using the account root user.

Frequently asked questions

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:

The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
