Automation in the AWS Cloud
Master cloud automation essentials including scripting, infrastructure as code, and configuration management to optimize AWS architectures efficiently.
Master cloud automation essentials including scripting, infrastructure as code, and configuration management to optimize AWS architectures efficiently.
This comprehensive course provides cloud technology consultants with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to implement automation in AWS environments. Structured as a progressive three-module program, the curriculum covers essential operations best practices, scripting techniques, configuration management, continuous compliance, provisioning, infrastructure as code (IaC), fleet patching, and industry automation tools. Starting with foundational concepts, students learn the value proposition of automation and how APIs function in the cloud context. The course then advances to practical skills development with Bash scripting and the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). A significant portion focuses on AWS CloudFormation, one of the most widely used IaC tools in AWS environments. Students learn to differentiate between environment provisioning and configuration management while understanding the importance of declarative infrastructure as code approaches. With a focus on real-world application, the course prepares cloud consultants to provide strategic guidance on selecting, implementing, and optimizing AWS architectures through effective automation practices, helping organizations achieve greater efficiency, consistency, and scalability in their cloud operations.

There are 3 modules in this course
This comprehensive course explores automation practices in AWS cloud environments through three interconnected modules. The first module introduces the fundamental concepts of automation, explaining its importance in modern cloud operations and how it provides operational efficiency, consistency, and scalability. Students learn about API mechanisms and their integration with the AWS Command Line Interface, along with basic Bash scripting techniques for task automation. The second module focuses on Infrastructure as Code (IaC), teaching students how to create, manage, and version cloud resources using declarative approaches. AWS CloudFormation is featured prominently as a key tool for implementing IaC practices. The curriculum distinguishes between environment provisioning and configuration management, explaining when and how to use each approach effectively. The final module examines AWS-specific services for automation, covering resource management best practices and techniques for scaling resource management across larger environments. Throughout the course, practical examples demonstrate how automation can optimize AWS architectures, reduce manual errors, enforce compliance, and improve operational efficiency. The hands-on components provide real-world experience that prepares cloud technology consultants to advise clients on implementing effective automation strategies.
