AWS Compute Services & IAM

This course covers the core of AWS compute — the EC2 lifecycle and all associated services — alongside foundational IAM concepts. Covering approximately 4 hours and 44 minutes of expert instruction across EC2 design, implementation, and management plus IAM fundamentals, learners develop the skills to build and govern AWS compute infrastructure at scale. Learners benefit by gaining practical knowledge of EC2 instance types, AMIs, elastic load balancers, launch templates, spot and reserved instance purchasing, and the IAM policies, roles, and users that control access to AWS resources. By the end of this course, learners will be able to design, deploy, and manage EC2 compute environments and implement IAM policies that enforce the principle of least privilege across AWS accounts.
