Developing on AWS
Overview
Course Objective
In this course, you will learn to:
• Build a simple end-to-end cloud application using AWS Software Development Kits
(AWS SDKs), Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), and IDEs.
• Configure AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions to support a
development environment.
• Use multiple programming patterns in your applications to access AWS services.
• Use AWS SDKs to perform CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations on Amazon
Simple
• Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon DynamoDB resources.
• Build AWS Lambda functions with other service integrations for your web applications.
• Understand the benefits of microservices architectures and serverless applications to
design.
• Develop API Gateway components and integrate with other AWS services.
• Explain how Amazon Cognito controls user access to AWS resources.
• Build a web application using Cognito to provide and control user access.
• Use DevOps methodology to reduce the risks associated with traditional application
releases and identify AWS services that help in implementing DevOps practices.
• Use AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) to deploy an application.
• Observe your application build using Amazon X-Ray.
