AWS Virtual Machine Concepts (PLAB-AWS-FUN)
Welcome to the AWS Virtual Machine Concepts lab. In this lab, you will be provided with the instructions and devices needed to develop your hands-on skills.
The Amazon Web Service (AWS) allows subscribers to create virtual devices on the Cloud Platform, also referred to as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
For IaaS, public cloud providers (CSPs) provide the physical infrastructure to enable users to create different virtual devices. The CSP manages and maintains the hardware in the data centers. The customer’s responsibility is to manage and maintain the virtual servers or devices, such as managing and maintaining the operating system, ensuring enough resources are available, and managing the data on the virtual devices.
Different pricing plans are available depending on the resources allocated to the devices.
In this module, the creation of virtual machines on the AWS Cloud Platform will be explored using the AWS Management Console.
Alert: A prepopulated AWS account will be used to complete the exercises in this module. It will not be necessary to signup for a free account through AWS. It is important to note that certain restrictions have been applied to the lab environment. These include specific resources that can be created only in the specified region. If the region is changed, the steps in the tasks will not function accordingly.
