AWS Cloud Concepts (PLAB-AWS-FUN)

Welcome to the AWS Cloud Concepts lab. In this lab, you will be provided with the instructions and devices needed to develop your hands-on skills.

Public cloud computing can be defined as running and accessing different computing services on externally hosted and maintained hardware. The hardware is situated in data centers located across the world to provide availability and redundancy for clients.

These public providers are known as Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). There are several CSPs available to create and run the needed services. The most popular and well-known CSPs are Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

AWS is one of the leading Cloud Service Provider (CSP) globally. AWS offers clients a vast number of cloud services to customers. The core cloud services offered by AWS include Infrastructure as a Services (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).

In this module, the basic cloud services will be discussed and explored with the main focus on AWS cloud services.
