The AWS Academy Cloud Foundations course is intended for instructors who seek an overall understanding of cloud computing concepts, independent of specific technical teaching area. In addition to a detailed overview of cloud concepts there is specific coverage of all AWS core services, security, architecture, pricing and support. A number of hands-on labs in the actual AWS environment will be utilized throughout the course.

This course provides the foundational knowledge needed to take the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification exam and includes a voucher to save on the exam fee.

Prerequisite: Basic Windows and Linux operating system knowledge. Understanding of networking fundamentals.
