What You Need to Know about AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) was launched in 2006 to provide IT infrastructure services to businesses. These web services are now known as cloud computing, and they allow companies to access servers almost immediately and more affordably. AWS offers multiple services beyond servers, such as networking, remote computing, storage, mobile development, email, and security. The platform serves thousands of businesses worldwide, allowing them to scale up immediately and launch applications.

With the number of businesses that use Amazon Web Services, there is a demand for AWS engineers. Those who are interested in learning more about the platform and how to use it can take a course or a program, and to find a bootcamp curriculum that includes AWS, take a look at our comprehensive list below.

What is AWS?

AWS is a comprehensive cloud platform that offers over 175 featured services. It is both flexible and secure, making it a great choice for businesses to create or extend their IT infrastructure. The platform can do everything from backing up and restoring business data to developing and growing applications. It is scalable and adaptable, so companies can fine-tune which potential solutions will work for them based on their size, needs, and industry.

What is AWS Used For?

AWS serves several purposes, including:

  • Data storage and management, web hosting, analytics, networking, monitoring, and security
  • Content delivery
  • Application development
  • Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), packaged software as a service (SaaS), or platform as a service (PaaS)

AWS offers a wide range of tools and has a Solutions Library that offers a collection of vetted solutions for technical and business problems.

How do I use AWS?

The first step to using AWS is to create an account. It's helpful to read through AWS materials to identify which services you're interested in and to learn how to implement them. After you've created an account you can manage your services from the AWS Management Console. A resource center is also available and features sample applications, developer tools, and technical documentation.

Who uses AWS?

Companies of all sizes use AWS as well as developers and engineers. Notable large companies that use AWS1 include Expedia, Verizon, Coursera, Volkswagen, and the FDA.

How much does AWS cost to use?

The cost is modified based on use and will depend on selected services and what payment structure you choose. Amazon makes it easy to explore pricing with both a resource page and a calculator.

Learn AWS at a bootcamp

Due to the increasing demand for AWS expertise, many bootcamps are incorporating it into their curriculum. For example, Coding Nomad's Java Engineering bootcamp teaches students to deploy production-ready applications on AWS. You can find more bootcamps on our list below. If you prefer to start with shorter courses before enrolling in a full-time coding bootcamp, Udemy has AWS certification courses and Udacity offers a Cloud Developer Nanodegree program.
