Objective:
The objective of this lesson is to equip learners with advanced techniques in AWS, enabling them to implement sophisticated solutions within the AWS ecosystem. By the end of this lesson, participants will be able to orchestrate complex AWS workflows, optimize AWS resources for performance and cost, and apply best practices for security and compliance in a real-world context.
Comprehensive Content Overview:
Advanced AWS skills encompass a range of competencies, from architectural best practices to specific service deep dives. In this lesson, we will focus on the following areas:
- Advanced EC2 techniques, including Auto Scaling and Spot Instances.
- Effective use of AWS Lambda for serverless computing.
- Optimizing data storage with Amazon S3 and Glacier.
- Complex networking strategies with Amazon VPC.
- Enhancing security with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).
- Cost optimization strategies.

Advanced EC2 Techniques
Amazon EC2 provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. Advanced techniques include:
Auto Scaling: This allows you to maintain application availability and scale EC2 capacity up or down automatically according to defined conditions.
Spot Instances: These offer a cost-effective choice for running stateless, fault-tolerant, or flexible applications. You can request spare EC2 computing capacity for up to 90% off the on-demand price.
Actionable Example: To set up an Auto Scaling group, navigate to the EC2 dashboard, select ‘Auto Scaling Groups’ and follow the wizard to ...
