AWS Training – Introduction to Cloud

Infoshare is the largest tech community in CEE and the organizer of the leading tech conference in Gdańsk. It connects startups, investors, corporations, and innovation enthusiasts. It promotes entrepreneurship, knowledge sharing, and networking. Through events, competitions, and programs, it supports the development of the tech ecosystem in Poland and the region.

AWS, or Amazon Web Services, is the most popular cloud platform used by millions of companies worldwide. Why a platform? Because the cloud is not just virtual servers; within AWS, there are over 200 services that can be compared to Lego blocks, which companies use to build modern IT solutions. These services can be divided into subgroups such as computing power, databases, analytics, security, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, development tools, and many others. The AWS cloud has become the natural and first choice for building systems in the 21st century, as it allows for the creation of systems faster and more efficiently than ever before. Additionally, the cloud enables the creation of systems using global and scalable infrastructure, all in a 'pay-as-you-go' model, allowing costs to be adjusted to actual demand.

• For those who want to learn the basics, services, and secrets of using the most popular cloud in the world, AWS.
• For programmers, data analysts, network or security administrators. Programming experience is not required.
• For anyone who wants to understand how the AWS cloud is built and how to quickly, easily, and securely build modern systems and applications using it.
• For everyone who wants to see what connects companies like Tinder, AirBnB, GE, Samsung, McDonald's, LOT, Onet, and others!

• You will learn about the AWS cloud structure, its regions, availability zones, and edge locations.
• You will learn how to design high-availability systems and applications.
• We will discuss key networking services and ways to connect the cloud with local infrastructure.
• You will see how to create, manage, and scale servers, as well as autoscaling.
• We will look at data storage and analysis, environment management, and cost control.
• You will learn how to create container-based applications, serverless solutions, and artificial intelligence applications.
