AWS: Task Automation and Network Integration (Coursera)

The course is divided into two modules and each module is further segmented by Lessons and Video Lectures. This course facilitates learners with approximately 3:00 Hours Video lectures that provide both Theory and Hands -On knowledge. Also, Graded and Ungraded Quiz are provided with every module in order to test the ability of learners.

Module 1: AWS: Task Automation

Module 2: Configure network integration with application services

Two or more years of experience in designing and implementing network solutions on AWS on a large scale or must pass an examination of AWS Certified Cloud practitioner. Candidates should have knowledge of using AWS CloudFormation and integration with external systems and other AWS services. By the end of this course, a learner will be able to:

-Evaluate automation alternatives within AWS for network deployments.

-Leverage Lambda as a Cloud Formation custom resource for integration with external systems, including IPAM software.

-Leverage the capabilities of Amazon Route 53.

-Implement sticky sessions and AWS Service Communicating over the Network.

Syllabus

WEEK 1

AWS: Task Automation

In this week we will dive into evaluating automation alternatives for network deployments within the AWS environment. We will explore how to implement dynamic overlay network configurations using Amazon EC2 tags, specifically focusing on multicast configurations. Additionally, we will learn how to utilize Transit Gateway to efficiently route multicast traffic between subnets of attached VPCs. Another important topic we will cover is leveraging Lambda as a CloudFormation custom resource for seamless integration with external systems, including IPAM software. Finally, we will evaluate various tool-based alternatives available within AWS for effective network operations and management. By the end of this module, you will have a comprehensive understanding of automation options, overlay network configurations, Lambda integration, and tool-based solutions for network management within AWS.

WEEK 2

Configure network integration with application services

This week we will explore Amazon Route 53, DHCP, and AWS Service Communication. We'll learn about the capabilities of Amazon Route 53, understand DHCP's role in assigning IP addresses, implement sticky sessions for load balancing, and delve into AWS service communication over the network. By the end, you'll have a solid grasp of these concepts, empowering you to optimize and manage your network infrastructure within AWS.
