Integrating AWS Networks with Application Services from Pluralsight

According to recent research, privacy and security concerns prevent up to 60% of enterprises from migrating to the cloud. This course will teach you the best practices and give you in-depth know-how for configuring and securing your AWS network.

With a significant number of businesses held back from cloud based offerings due to privacy and security concerns, it is of the utmost importance to ensure that your network is both secure and resilient. In this course, Integrating AWS Networks with Application Services, you’ll learn to incorporate the various components of AWS' network based offerings into your application architecture. First, you’ll explore some of the foundational networking concepts at play inside of AWS. Next, you’ll discover various techniques for building resilience into the networks surrounding your applications. Finally, you’ll learn how to enable remote access to private application resources within your newly secured network. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge needed to build and integrate secure and resilient networks into your application infrastructure.
