Cloud Foundations: AWS from Scratch

Everything runs in the cloud today, but very few people understand which AWS service to choose, how to connect it to the rest of the stack, and where security or cost risks begin. This course gives you a practical AWS foundation for shipping real applications with EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, VPC, and baseline observability.
