1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,200 ‫Hello and welcome 2 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,160 ‫to the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner course. 3 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,140 ‫My name is Stephane Maarek and I will be your instructor. 4 00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:09,050 ‫So, we are starting in five minutes 5 00:00:09,050 --> 00:00:11,860 ‫but please, try to pay attention to this lecture. 6 00:00:11,860 --> 00:00:15,050 ‫So we are going to prepare for the Cloud Practitioner exam. 7 00:00:15,050 --> 00:00:17,920 ‫The code is CLF-C01. 8 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,820 ‫It is a challenging certification so, 9 00:00:19,820 --> 00:00:22,200 ‫this course is going to be long and interesting 10 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,920 ‫and it is good if you have some basic IT knowledge 11 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,320 ‫but don't worry if you don't come from an IT background, 12 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,070 ‫I will explain everything for you as well. 13 00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:32,230 ‫In this course, we're going to learn a lot. 14 00:00:32,230 --> 00:00:35,770 ‫We will cover over 40 AWS services, 15 00:00:35,770 --> 00:00:39,440 ‫out of the 200 plus that exist in AWS. 16 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,450 ‫If you are a beginner in IT and AWS, 17 00:00:42,450 --> 00:00:44,330 ‫do not worry, you are welcome to this course 18 00:00:44,330 --> 00:00:45,600 ‫and you will learn a lot 19 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,390 ‫but take your time, it's not a race. 20 00:00:47,390 --> 00:00:51,620 ‫You will learn a lot everyday by doing little by little. 21 00:00:51,620 --> 00:00:53,670 ‫Then, this course is a bit special 22 00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:56,220 ‫because I want you to learn also by doing. 23 00:00:56,220 --> 00:00:58,170 ‫It's a key learning technique in this course. 24 00:00:58,170 --> 00:01:01,410 ‫So, this course will mix both theory lectures 25 00:01:01,410 --> 00:01:03,201 ‫and where necessary, hands on 26 00:01:03,201 --> 00:01:04,430 ‫where you can follow along 27 00:01:04,430 --> 00:01:07,950 ‫with me in the course by creating your own AWS account 28 00:01:07,950 --> 00:01:10,370 ‫and reproducing what I do on screen. 29 00:01:10,370 --> 00:01:12,300 ‫So now, we're preparing for a certification. 30 00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:13,640 ‫I want to show you the type 31 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,240 ‫of questions you're going to get. 32 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,900 ‫So this is sample question from the exam 33 00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:20,737 ‫which says, "Which AWS "service would simplify 34 00:01:20,737 --> 00:01:24,130 ‫"the migration of a database to AWS?" 35 00:01:24,130 --> 00:01:25,400 ‫And we'll have four answers, 36 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,090 ‫Storage Gateway, Database Migration Service, 37 00:01:28,090 --> 00:01:31,640 ‫EC2 and Amazon AppStream 2.0. 38 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,330 ‫Now, this course is going to cover most of the services. 39 00:01:34,330 --> 00:01:37,550 ‫For example, the first service we will learn in this course. 40 00:01:37,550 --> 00:01:39,270 ‫The second service, the name is obvious, 41 00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:40,780 ‫it is the answer to the question, 42 00:01:40,780 --> 00:01:41,890 ‫that is the correct answer 43 00:01:41,890 --> 00:01:44,470 ‫and we will cover this service as well. 44 00:01:44,470 --> 00:01:46,060 ‫For EC2, we will learn as well 45 00:01:46,060 --> 00:01:47,670 ‫and it is possible in the course 46 00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:50,860 ‫to have services that will be called distractors. 47 00:01:50,860 --> 00:01:53,270 ‫So, they will not be covered in the course 48 00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:56,070 ‫because there are over 200 services in AWS 49 00:01:56,070 --> 00:01:59,540 ‫but they will appear at the exam as a wrong answer. 50 00:01:59,540 --> 00:02:00,490 ‫So in this course, 51 00:02:00,490 --> 00:02:03,550 ‫I wanna focus on the service that I know are core to AWS 52 00:02:03,550 --> 00:02:05,040 ‫and they will come up at the exam 53 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,860 ‫but I will not focus on explaining to you 54 00:02:06,860 --> 00:02:08,670 ‫the distractors because that would make 55 00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:10,810 ‫too much information into your head. 56 00:02:10,810 --> 00:02:12,210 ‫If you're interested into checking out 57 00:02:12,210 --> 00:02:13,730 ‫the sample questions for the exam, 58 00:02:13,730 --> 00:02:14,963 ‫you can use this link. 59 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,520 ‫So now that we know a little bit more about the exam, 60 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,200 ‫I want to introduce myself. 61 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,410 ‫My name is Stephane Maarek 62 00:02:21,410 --> 00:02:23,140 ‫and I will be your instructor. 63 00:02:23,140 --> 00:02:26,490 ‫I am nine times certified on AWS out 64 00:02:26,490 --> 00:02:28,800 ‫of 12 certification and that's so far. 65 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,540 ‫I'll be going for the 12 certifications 66 00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:33,520 ‫hopefully before the end of the year 2020. 67 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,210 ‫I've worked with AWS for many years. 68 00:02:35,210 --> 00:02:38,090 ‫I've built websites, application and streaming platforms 69 00:02:38,090 --> 00:02:40,580 ‫and I've been teaching about AWS for a long time. 70 00:02:40,580 --> 00:02:43,223 ‫I teach about many AWS certifications, 71 00:02:43,223 --> 00:02:47,410 ‫CloudFormation, Lambda, EC2 and other courses. 72 00:02:47,410 --> 00:02:49,610 ‫As you can see, over 300,000 students 73 00:02:49,610 --> 00:02:50,930 ‫have learned alongside with me 74 00:02:50,930 --> 00:02:53,500 ‫and I have received over 100,000 reviews. 75 00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:55,140 ‫I think you are in good hands. 76 00:02:55,140 --> 00:02:56,580 ‫So, if you want to connect with me, 77 00:02:56,580 --> 00:02:58,290 ‫you can follow me on LinkedIn, 78 00:02:58,290 --> 00:02:59,860 ‫you can follow me on Medium, 79 00:02:59,860 --> 00:03:02,065 ‫Twitter as well as GitHub. 80 00:03:02,065 --> 00:03:04,120 ‫So welcome to AWS. 81 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,500 ‫You are going to get certified 82 00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:08,690 ‫and you are going to get the first certification in AWS, 83 00:03:08,690 --> 00:03:11,180 ‫called the Foundational Certification 84 00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:12,980 ‫for AWS Cloud Practitioner. 85 00:03:12,980 --> 00:03:14,930 ‫This is a great first choice 86 00:03:14,930 --> 00:03:16,480 ‫but this is pretty high level. 87 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,080 ‫If you want to deepen your knowledge 88 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,450 ‫and get more technical about AWS then after this course, 89 00:03:21,450 --> 00:03:24,820 ‫I would recommend you tackle the Associate Certifications. 90 00:03:24,820 --> 00:03:27,180 ‫Then if you're really an aficionado of AWS 91 00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:28,990 ‫and want to learn more and more and more, 92 00:03:28,990 --> 00:03:30,290 ‫the Specialty exam 93 00:03:30,290 --> 00:03:32,253 ‫and the Professional exams are really difficult 94 00:03:32,253 --> 00:03:34,770 ‫and will test your in depth knowledge. 95 00:03:34,770 --> 00:03:35,650 ‫In this course, 96 00:03:35,650 --> 00:03:36,483 ‫we're just going 97 00:03:36,483 --> 00:03:38,510 ‫to prepare for the foundational knowledge necessary 98 00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:40,500 ‫to pass with flying colors, 99 00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:44,460 ‫the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner examination. 100 00:03:44,460 --> 00:03:47,750 ‫Finally, I said we're going to practice in this course. 101 00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:48,730 ‫So you may have a question 102 00:03:48,730 --> 00:03:51,280 ‫which is how much will this course cost me? 103 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,007 ‫So this is how much it cost me at the end of this course, 104 00:03:54,007 --> 00:03:56,960 ‫$12 and 70 cents but I wanna tell you right away 105 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,910 ‫that most of the services we'll use in this course, 106 00:03:59,910 --> 00:04:02,630 ‫will be within the AWS Free Tier. 107 00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:06,030 ‫So there is a chance for you to have a cost of zero. 108 00:04:06,030 --> 00:04:07,843 ‫Now, if I use a service in this course 109 00:04:07,843 --> 00:04:09,380 ‫that will cost you money, 110 00:04:09,380 --> 00:04:11,490 ‫I will mention it and I will leave you the option 111 00:04:11,490 --> 00:04:14,730 ‫to not do the hands on with me and just watch me do. 112 00:04:14,730 --> 00:04:16,940 ‫For example, the most expensive item 113 00:04:16,940 --> 00:04:18,380 ‫in here is the registrar 114 00:04:18,380 --> 00:04:20,140 ‫because I've purchased a domain name. 115 00:04:20,140 --> 00:04:24,230 ‫So, new URL, for example stephaneccp.com. 116 00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:27,090 ‫You can read more about the Free Tier at this URL. 117 00:04:27,090 --> 00:04:28,150 ‫If you're unsure about, 118 00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:29,610 ‫if something is going to cost you money 119 00:04:29,610 --> 00:04:31,090 ‫or not or you can just come back 120 00:04:31,090 --> 00:04:32,790 ‫to this slide and then see, 121 00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:34,520 ‫based on the service we're watching 122 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,710 ‫if it's going to cost you anything or not. 123 00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:37,570 ‫As I mentioned, 124 00:04:37,570 --> 00:04:39,170 ‫most of the services we'll be using 125 00:04:39,170 --> 00:04:40,470 ‫will be within the Free Tier. 126 00:04:40,470 --> 00:04:41,480 ‫So don't worry there, 127 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,300 ‫I'll be guiding you along the way. 128 00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:44,920 ‫I am super happy that you're here 129 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,930 ‫with me in this course 130 00:04:45,930 --> 00:04:47,653 ‫and I wish you a happy learning.
