Learning Objectives
In this room, you will learn about basic technologies associated with the platform. These technologies represent foundational concepts for how you interact with AWS and AWS services. Once completed, you will have learned about:

  • The basic security boundary, an AWS account, and the "root user account" associated with each AWS account.
  • The Identity and Access Management () infrastructure inherent to using AWS.
  • What is an AWS "region" and why that matters when you interact with AWS services.
  • How AWS Organizations can streamline operations through central management of multiple/many AWS accounts.
  • What is a "Virtual Private Cloud" and why you will almost inevitably need one (or many) when using AWS.

This information will help you become familiar with core AWS services and features. Using this information, you will be better prepared to understand and troubleshoot new challenges as they arise in your cloud journey.
