There are 3 modules in this course

In this course, we start with the basics of AWS Identity and Access Management to understand the different forms of authentication and security when integrating AWS services. We refactor an existing application using the AWS SDK to replace storage functionality with Amazon Simple Storage Service and Amazon DynamoDB. Next, we investigate using compute services Amazon EC2 and AWS Lambda to run our application code. In the final upgrade, we expose the application functionality as an API with Amazon API Gateway. Our experienced instructors take you on a deep dive on the workings and benefits of each service. This course will provide a combination of video-based lectures, demonstrations and hands-on lab exercises, taking you from concept to an API-based application hosted in AWS.

This week, you get your first introduction to AWS with a focus on the benefits of AWS for software engineers. You start learning how to integrate AWS services so you can use them from your own applications. Next, you learn how authentication and authorization work in AWS through AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).

This week, you explore AWS services that you can use to store data in your applications. First, you learn about Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), which provides object storage that can store unstructured data, such as images or documents. Next, you learn about Amazon DynamoDB, a NoSQL database that you can use to store structured items.

This week, you explore AWS compute services, such as AWS Lambda and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). Compute services provide the computing power that you use to run your applications. Then, you learn about Amazon API Gateway. In this course, API Gateway is the service that hosts the API that customers use through the application. Finally, you combine the knowledge you learned this week your knowledge of storage to upgrade an application so it uses AWS services for the API, compute, and storage.

Frequently asked questions

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. 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.

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
