What you'll learn

Storage that doesn't match how a workload uses data creates friction everywhere. This includes slow retrieval, fragile paths, and confusing errors. In this course, AWS Storage Fundamentals, you'll gain the ability to choose, build, and validate foundational AWS storage with competence. First, you'll explore how object storage and attached block storage differ in how the data is stored and used. Next, you'll discover how to create, verify, and troubleshoot a simple S3 object workflow. Finally, you'll learn how to recognize when a workload needs a database, data service, or a more specialized storage pattern instead. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge needed to make foundational AWS storage choices and validate a working object workflow.
