Course Overview
Learn Python to manage AWS services in just one hour
Welcome to the definitive guide to Boto3, the essential Python SDK for Amazon Web Services. This course is specifically designed to bridge the gap between manual cloud configuration and professional-grade automation. While Boto3 is the latest evolution of the AWS SDK, it represents a significant leap forward rather than a simple replacement for its predecessor. By mastering powerful modern features such as Clients, Resources, and Waiters, you will gain the specialized toolkit necessary to develop, manage, and administer complex AWS environments with unparalleled efficiency.
Our curriculum is deeply rooted in practical, industry-oriented scenarios. We begin with the foundational elements of Python and Boto3 before diving into core AWS services. You will learn to automate and manage:
Virtual Private Clouds (VPC) and EC2 instances
Object Storage (S3) and Block Storage (EBS)
Load Balancers, RDS databases, and DNS management
Each module follows a structured pedagogical flow: a clear initial agenda, followed by an intensive hands-on demonstration, and concluding with a targeted quiz to reinforce your learning. One of the greatest challenges with Boto3 is the lack of intuitive, example-rich official documentation. This course solves that problem by providing the clear, real-world examples that official resources often omit. Within just two hours, you will gain the confidence to start implementing Boto3 scripts in your own production infrastructure.

I felt this course is not up to date example now we have templates for ASG, but a good trainer and covered at a basic level as advice at the start of course.

It should contain more examples like how to search instances where security group x is attached, how to search a security group where port x is open, etc. Current examples are limited to "create EC2", "terminate EC2", "create security group", "open port in security group", etc. These commands would run only once in real time. But search commands would be used daily sevaral times.

Excellent and step by step instructions. I have 15 plus years as a UNIX System Administrator and 0 years BOTO3 experience. With minimal Python experience and following along by typing in the examples provided in the videos. I feel this course would provide a good introduction to both Python and BOTO3.

Excellent course. I needed a quick overview on how to use python for deploying resources in AWS. This course gave clear and concise examples that can be expanded to solve real world use cases at my job.
