AWS Learning Roadmap

A Beginner’s Roadmap 🚀

1. Core Services Every Beginner Should Learn:

• Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
• EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud)
• RDS (Relational Database Service)
• CloudFront (Content Delivery Network)
• Amazon DynamoDB (NoSQL Database Service)
• AWS Lambda (Serverless Compute)
• AWS API Gateway (HTTP or REST APIs)

2. Essential AWS Tools:

• AWS Management Console
• AWS CLI (Command Line Interface)
• AWS CloudFormation (Infrastructure as Code)

3. Practical Projects to Build:

• Host a static website on S3
• Create a basic web server on EC2
• Set up RDS database and enable access from EC2
• Build a dynamic web app using EC2, RDS and ALB
• Deploy a serverless app with AWS Lambda and API Gateway (Configure rate limits and secure Lambda)
• Set up CloudFront with S3 for a simple static website

4. Free Learning Resources:

• AWS Free Tier (practice for free)
• AWS Skill Builder (official AWS learning platform)

5. Next Steps:

• Learn about IAM (Identity and Access Management)
• Study basic networking with VPC and Subnets
• Understand monitoring with CloudWatch

6. Bonus:

• Deploy whole infrastructure with Terraform
• Automate app deployments with GitHub Actions
• Secure access to RDS and EC2 with security groups

Tips for Success:

• Start small, build gradually
• Use the free tier wisely
• Join AWS communities
• Practice hands-on daily
