The AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C01) archive represents a significant milestone in our engineering journey, documenting the acquisition of fundamental cloud computing skills. Developed during the 8th semester of Computer Engineering, this repository aggregates a complete lifecycle of certification preparation - from official AWS Academy foundations to specialized laboratory experiments.
The curriculum encompasses several key domains in AWS Cloud Computing:
- Cloud Concepts: Introduction to cloud computing, service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), and deployment models.
- Billing and Economy: AWS pricing, TCO analysis, and cost optimization strategies.
- Global Infrastructure: Regions, Availability Zones, Edge Locations, and data center architecture.
- Cloud Security: IAM, Shared Responsibility Model, security groups, and compliance.
- Networking and Content Delivery: VPC, subnets, CloudFront, Route 53, and network design.
- Compute Services: EC2 instances, Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk, and Lightsail.
- Storage: S3, EBS, EFS, and Storage Gateway services.
- Databases: RDS, DynamoDB, Aurora, and Redshift.
- Cloud Architecture: Well-Architected Framework and design principles.
- Scaling and Monitoring: Auto Scaling, CloudWatch, and load balancing.
This repository represents a curated collection of study materials, reference books, lab experiments, and personal preparation notes compiled during my academic journey. The primary motivation for creating and maintaining this archive is simple yet profound: to preserve knowledge for continuous learning and future reference.
As a computer engineer, understanding cloud computing is crucial for developing modern, scalable, and resilient applications. This repository serves as my intellectual reference point: a resource I can return to for relearning concepts, reviewing methodologies, and strengthening understanding when needed.
Why this repository exists:
- Knowledge Preservation: To maintain organized access to comprehensive study materials beyond the classroom.
- Continuous Learning: To support lifelong learning by enabling easy revisitation of fundamental cloud concepts.
- Academic Documentation: To authentically document my learning journey through AWS Cloud Practitioner certification.
- Community Contribution: To share these resources with students and learners who may benefit from them.
All materials in this repository were gathered, organized, and documented by us during our undergraduate studies (2018-2022) as part of our coursework and exam preparation.
Tip
Learning Path: The repository is structured to follow a progressive learning path. Begin with the Course Materials for theoretical grounding, followed by Mega's Notes for conceptual depth, before proceeding to the Practicals and Assessments for hands-on verification.
