The Good Parts of AWS: Cutting Through the Clutter
Become an AWS pro with insights from a seasoned Amazon engineer. Get hands-on with essential AWS services like DynamoDB, S3, and EC2. No setup, no cleanup, no hassle.
This is not your typical AWS reference course. You won’t find most of the knowledge that's shared here in the AWS docs. The goal here is to help you realize which AWS features you’d be foolish not to use — features that have passed the test of time by being at the backbone of most things on the Internet.
In this course, you'll learn a technique used to help make reliable technical choices without getting paralyzed in the face of so many options. You’ll start by going through the most fundamental services AWS offers such as DynamoDB, S3, EC2. Each section breaks down how it’s used, the pros and cons, why you should (or shouldn't) be using it, and more.

"You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it."
