AWS Storage — EBS, EFS, FSx & S3 (Bespoke)

Course Overview

Storage is the foundation of every cloud architecture. This bespoke course provides a comprehensive, hands-on deep dive into all four major AWS storage services: Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) for block storage, Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) for shared NFS file storage, Amazon FSx (for Windows File Server, Lustre, NetApp ONTAP, and OpenZFS) for enterprise file systems, and Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) for object storage at any scale. This course is designed for architects, engineers and administrators who need thorough working knowledge of AWS storage options.

What You Will Learn

• Select the right AWS storage service for any workload
• Deploy and configure EBS volumes for EC2 workloads
• Set up EFS for shared access across multiple instances
• Configure FSx for enterprise file system requirements
• Implement S3 with appropriate security, lifecycle and replication
• Design cost-optimised multi-tier storage architectures
