Great overview of the AWS architecture. It covered most of the products and building blocks to design in AWS.
This course is very "Information" heavy and will require reviewing the Course guide for CLI commands if only used a few times a year.
This is a great way to learn online. Courses are well structured and clearly explained with very dedicated staff.
