From the course: AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C01) Cert Prep: 3 Core Services

Technology domain

- There are four domains in the AWS certified Cloud Practitioner Exam. They are: Cloud Concepts, Security, Technology and Billing and Pricing. The four courses in the Introduction to AWS for Non-Engineers series, follow these four domains. This course that you're watching now covers the largest domain in the certification, the Technology Domain. There are four parts of the Domain which are: Define methods of deploying and operating in the AWS cloud, Define the AWS global infrastructure, Identify the core AWS services and Identify resources for technology support. With almost 200 services available on 24 categories as of winter 2020 and ever expanding, the technology section of the domain might seem extremely daunting. Heck, they even have a satellite as a service. However there's good news, most of the services will not be on the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Exam. There's a certain subset of services that are often considered core services in AWS. And while dozens of services are announced every year, these core services don't change much. Generally, you do not have to worry about having to acquaint yourself with the newest product launch announcement from AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas every December. Study the services we talk about in this course and at least be familiar with the names of the other services, and you should be good to go. You can find all the products AWS offers at aws.amazon.com.products. Aside from understanding the fundamentals of the core AWS services, we will also review concepts that make up the AWS global infrastructure, like Availability Zones, Regions and Edge locations. We will also briefly go over different ways you can deploy and operate in the AWS Cloud, like utilizing the AWS Management Console, through AWS Command Line Interface or CLI, and Infrastructure as Code. All of these words may seem confusing at first but don't worry, we'll get them squared away. We'll provide study breaks and exam study tips so you can begin preparing for the AWS (mumbles) Cloud Practitioner Exam's Technology domain. Ready to get started? Let's go.
