There are 3 modules in this course

This comprehensive course explores automation practices in AWS cloud environments through three interconnected modules. The first module introduces the fundamental concepts of automation, explaining its importance in modern cloud operations and how it provides operational efficiency, consistency, and scalability. Students learn about API mechanisms and their integration with the AWS Command Line Interface, along with basic Bash scripting techniques for task automation. The second module focuses on Infrastructure as Code (IaC), teaching students how to create, manage, and version cloud resources using declarative approaches. AWS CloudFormation is featured prominently as a key tool for implementing IaC practices. The curriculum distinguishes between environment provisioning and configuration management, explaining when and how to use each approach effectively. The final module examines AWS-specific services for automation, covering resource management best practices and techniques for scaling resource management across larger environments. Throughout the course, practical examples demonstrate how automation can optimize AWS architectures, reduce manual errors, enforce compliance, and improve operational efficiency. The hands-on components provide real-world experience that prepares cloud technology consultants to advise clients on implementing effective automation strategies.
