What is inside

5 modules, 14 lessons. Each module ends in a graded quiz.

1. 01

   Cloud Concepts

   This module builds the mental model you need before touching any AWS service. You will learn what cloud computing actually is, the six advantages AWS expects you to recite, the three deployment models, the economics of CapEx versus OpEx, and the core design ideas (scalability, elasticity, high availability, and fault tolerance) that show up everywhere on the exam. You will also master the AWS Well-Architected Framework and its six pillars, anchored throughout by one running example: a growing online retailer moving to AWS.

   Security & Compliance

   This module shows you how security works on AWS, starting with the Shared Responsibility Model that splits duties between AWS and you. You will learn IAM inside out (root user, users, groups, roles, policies, MFA, and IAM Identity Center), the core security services the exam loves to test (Shield, WAF, GuardDuty, Inspector, Macie, Security Hub, KMS, CloudHSM, Secrets Manager), how encryption works at rest and in transit, and how AWS compliance programs and AWS Artifact let you inherit controls. Throughout, we follow a growing online retailer moving to AWS so every concept stays concrete.

   Cloud Technology & Services

   This module tours the core AWS services the CLF-C02 exam expects you to recognize, organized by what they do: where AWS runs (global infrastructure), how you compute, store, network, and store data, and how you interact with and watch over it all. You will follow a growing online retailer as it moves to AWS so each service stays concrete instead of abstract. By the end you can match a real-world need to the right AWS service and explain the trade-offs in plain language.

   Billing, Pricing & Support

   This module shows you how AWS charges for cloud and how to keep those charges under control. You will learn the five EC2 pricing models and when each one fits, the AWS Free Tier, the cost-management tools, consolidated billing through AWS Organizations, and how to choose the right support plan. By the end you can confidently answer the billing, pricing, and support questions that make up a meaningful slice of the CLF-C02 exam.
