Requirements
An excellent networking background is a prerequisite skill for the cloud administrator. Upon completion of this course, you will have what it takes, from a networking perspective, to be effective on day one, managing any cloud environment.
We have rounded up the networking concepts encountered by the new cloud administrator and created a fun, highly illustrated course around it. The Primer for the AWS Cloud: Networking is an effective prerequisite to any course on cloud administration and it can stand on its own as a useful review of relevant networking topics.
Skills covered include:
- port number types and uses
- decoding IPv4, IPv6 and MAC addresses
- representing IP addresses in the various formats
- grouping IP addresses into CIDR blocks
- partitioning networks
- proper deployment of networking services such as DNS, DHCP, NAT.
To reinforce the learning, we provide examples and demonstrations, using the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform, however the skills covered in this course are transferable to any cloud environment available today.
