AWS 101 - Introduction to the Basics

AWS (Amazon Web Services) helps facilitate teaching and learning, managing your university’s operations, or accessing high-performance computing for demanding research projects.

Instructors, students, researchers, IT staff, and administrators can use AWS to quickly and affordably access compute, storage and application services in the classroom, research lab, data center, and anywhere on campus.

In this FREE 90-minute Tech Briefing, you will learn about core AWS services for computation, storage, database, and networking. We will also do a hands-on lab where you will be able to launch AWS virtual machines (EC2 instances) and create your first S3 storage bucket.
