AWS Networking Basics v01.01.00s

AWS introduces networking through the functions and business purposes of its services. The outcomes connect general networking concepts and protocols with their implementation in AWS. This is a platform-oriented foundation for learners who already understand the AWS Cloud and want to place individual networking services within a larger design.

What you will learn

• Explain the purposes of AWS networking services.
• Relate general protocols to an AWS implementation.
• Compare how groups of networking services work together.
