AWS - Introduction + Launching Our First Match

Lecture 407:- AWS - Introduction + Launching Our First Match

Welcome to the "AWS - Introduction + Launching Our First Match" class! In this class, we'll provide an overview of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and guide you through the process of launching your first web application using AWS services.

Step 1: Introduction to Amazon Web Services (AWS)

AWS is a comprehensive and widely-used cloud computing platform provided by Amazon. It offers a vast array of services that allow you to build, deploy, and manage applications and infrastructure in the cloud. Some key AWS services we'll cover in this class include:

1. Amazon EC2: Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) provides scalable virtual servers in the cloud.
2. Amazon S3: Simple Storage Service (S3) offers scalable object storage for files and data.
3. Amazon RDS: Relational Database Service (RDS) provides managed relational databases in the cloud.
4. Amazon IAM: Identity and Access Management (IAM) for managing user permissions.

Step 2: Setting up AWS Account and CLI

To get started with AWS, you'll need an AWS account. We'll guide you through the process of creating an account and setting up the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) for managing AWS services from your local machine.

Step 3: Launching Your First Match - Part 1

In this section, we'll launch a simple web application using AWS services. We'll start by setting up an Amazon EC2 instance to host the application.

1. Creating an EC2 Instance: Learn how to launch an EC2 instance, select the appropriate instance type, and configure security groups.
2. Connecting to the EC2 Instance: Use SSH to connect to your EC2 instance and manage it remotely.

Step 4: Launching Your First Match - Part 2

Now that the EC2 instance is set up, we'll continue the process of launching the web application.

1. Deploying the Web Application: Deploy the application code to the EC2 instance and start the web server.
2. Setting Up a Database: Launch an Amazon RDS instance and configure the database for the web application.
3. Connecting Web App to Database: Update the application configuration to connect to the database.

Step 5: Amazon S3 for Static Assets

In this section, we'll utilize Amazon S3 to host static assets like images, CSS, and JavaScript files for the web application.

1. Creating an S3 Bucket: Learn how to create an S3 bucket and configure it for static website hosting.
2. Uploading Assets: Upload the static assets to the S3 bucket and make them accessible to the web application.

Step 6: Securing AWS Resources with IAM

Security is crucial when working with AWS resources. We'll cover how to set up AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control user access to your AWS services.

Step 7: Clean Up and Cost Management

After completing the class, we'll guide you through cleaning up the AWS resources you've created to avoid unnecessary costs.

Congratulations! You've completed the "AWS - Introduction + Launching Our First Match" class. You now have a foundational understanding of AWS services and have successfully launched your first web application on AWS. AWS offers a wide range of services to support various application needs, and this is just the beginning of your AWS journey. Happy exploring and building on AWS!
