Cloud Will Block Out the Sun

I love this picture :-)

I'm not an expert in AWS Cloud computing but lately i start working and studying about the AWS Cloud and more I read about it, more I find it interesting.

I'm a Network & Security Nerd and interested in exploring all the services and features AWS offer for Network & Security. I took few AWS courses which taught and exposed me to a whole new world about AWS architecture, all the AWS services and features, how to integrate them with each other, etc.

If you are a Network or Security person and want to pursue your career in Cloud domain, i would recommend you to take below training to get in-depth knowledge.

• AWS Security Essentials

• AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty

• AWS Certified Security – Specialty

Below are the some important topics in AWS. There are many more features which AWS offer but i can't cover them all in one topic.

If you are working on AWS platform, if you are going to start working on AWS, you should know all of it.

• What is VPC and how to create it? How to connect private VPC with public network?
• What is IAM? How can we create different IAM policies?
• Relationship between EC2 instance and AMI?
