Finally, the course covers best practices for cloud computing with AWS, including cost optimization, performance optimization, and scalability. You will learn how to monitor your AWS resources, use AWS Trusted Advisor to optimize your costs, and use AWS Auto Scaling to automatically adjust your resources based on demand. By the end of the "Cloud Computing Basics with AWS" course, you will have a solid understanding of cloud computing and AWS, and you will be able to launch and manage basic AWS resources. This course is ideal for beginners who are new to cloud computing and want to learn about AWS, as well as for IT professionals who are considering a move to the cloud and want to get a taste of AWS before diving deeper.
