Amazon Web Services Networking (Workshop)

ipSpace.net » Workshops » Amazon Web Services Networking (Workshop)

Traditional networking engineers entering the world of Amazon Web Services for the first time often feel like Alice in Wonderland. Everything looks and sounds familiar, and yet it all feels a bit different – ACLs sit in front of servers instead of on a router, there is no router, NAT happens somewhere behind the scenes, each subnet has its own routing table...

This ½ day workshop will help demystify the networking aspects of Amazon Web Services. We'll start with the high-level concepts, cover security aspects, and conclude with inter-VPC routing and hybrid cloud implementations.

Availability

  • Amazon Web Services Networking is a ½ day intensive instructor-led workshop.
  • Contact us for more details or if you want to have a customized on-site workshop for a closed group of up to 20 attendees

Takeaways

After attending this workshop you'll be able to:

  • Map network infrastructure requirements into AWS concepts and objects;
  • Design complex AWS networking infrastructure;
  • Design security, Internet access and inbound load balancing for AWS workloads;
  • Build hybrid clouds by connecting AWS workloads with external networks.

Who Should Attend

This workshop targets architects and designers who are planning, designing or building networking infrastructure within Amazon Web Services, or connecting AWS workloads with on-premises data centers.
