Cloud Deployment with AWS

featuring AWS, EC2, RDS, Elastic IP and Apache

Equivalent to a day's live training. Expect to take 3-4 to complete.

  • How to deploy your Java Applications to live server hardware.
  • You will be creating, managing and maintaining a live server using Amazon EC2.
  • You will be running a live database using Amazon RDS.
  • And we will be exploring some architecture topics, such as how to use Apache AND Tomcat for a flexible solution.
  • WARNING - you must follow the steps in the final chapter, or Amazon will charge you once the free tier expires.
No previous experience of AWS is necessary. We will be performing some Linux system administration, but all steps are explained.

We will be doing some building of Java applications, and some knowledge of Java is assumed, but most of the course is applicable to non-Java applications as well.
