We review what the Onboarding AWS course will cover.

We touch on the "need to know" parts AWS private networks (the VPC service).

We create an EC2 server, covering the various options to help reduce the anxiety of having so many customizations available.

We see how to allocate and assign a static IP address (Elastic IP Address - EIP) to an EC2 instance.

We cover the important CloudWatch metrics to keep an eye on related to our EC2 server.

We provision our EC2 instance, and then see how to create an AMI (Amazon Machine Image) from which we can re-create new, pre-configured EC2 instances.

We create a managed MySQL database using RDS, including what to know about networking and security groups.

We see how to manage an RDS database, including how backup/restoration works, and covering what metrics to monitor.

We create a Redis instance with a replica node, and discuss Multi-AZ, bandwidth charges, and monitoring.

We quickly review what we learned and discuss what you may want to learn next.
