Course Overview
Clear AWS overview | All 270+ Amazon Web Services described succinctly | Extra: Winning exam strategies
This is a super-efficient crash course for REALLY understanding the full scope of AWS—whether you’re seeing it for the first time or needing a refresher.
[June 2025 Update (Another)]: Added newly-released Elastic VMware Service (EVS)
[June 2025 Update]: Added newly-released Transform service and updated newly-GA Aurora DSQL
[May 2025 Update]: Removed newly-deprecated services so you won't waste any of your precious time on them!
[April 2025 Update]: Improved visuals/flow for several lessons.
AWS Overview section includes:
Super-quick intro to AWS
Example scenario of how we can offload responsibility to AWS
Breakdown of AWS Structure: Why (Principles), What (Physical), How Much (Pricing), Where (Control), and How (Using it well)
AWS Services section includes, for each service:
A DENSE single-sentence short description of the service
Brief commentary about what the service does and when it should be used—ranging from 15 seconds to 2.5 minutes
Quick links to all the official helpful info: Product, Pricing, FAQs, sample reference architectures, service launch blogs/demos, sometimes more
Because we QUICKLY go through the entire catalog of services, you'll gain a good sense for when each one might be worth your time to investigate more deeply.
IF YOU ARE AN AWS NOVICE, you should start with THIS course—to quickly learn how it’s structured and how powerful it is. And if you want to get AWS certified, afterwards, what you learn here will make that much easier.
IF YOU ARE AN AWS EXPERT, you can greatly benefit from rewatching the Service Categories section on high playback speed right before each cert exam and whenever you’re architecting a new type of system—to freshen your mind and make sure you’re not missing out on big value from services you’ve missed or forgotten about.
IF YOU ARE AN AWS PRACTITIONER, this course will fill in gaps that you might have in your understanding of AWS and you'll learn about many AWS services you probably didn't even know existed.
If you want to succeed with AWS and don't want to spend 1000 hours researching everything yourself, then this course is for you! See you in the first video!

Easy to digest, easy to follow... really long, but for all the right reasons. This has been a good journey, and I definitely will be returning for refreshers, more notes, and will be following the end advice on staying up-to-date.
