AWS is a hot topic today, and will continue to be so in the future. It is a complex ecosystem with hundreds of services, and each of those services is a world for itself- they can be quite complex.

AWS Lightsail is meant to offer some of the most sought-after AWS services, but in a different manner. Everything in Lightsail is simplified as much as it can be. You will learn how to work with these Lightsail resources:

Docker containers and images

All of these will be shown with already shipped WordPress installation on Lightsail instance.

We will work quite a bit in Linux command line, with mysql command line client, which we will use to access the built-in mysql WordpPress database. Then we will start the Lightsail database, and migrate the builtin database to a Lightsail one.

I will aslo show how to add an additonal disk, provided by Lightsail, to a Linux instance.

After that,we will install and use AWS CLI and it's lightsail module. And yes, we will use docker command line client to make a custom Docker image and store it in lightsail, then use that image to start a container on Lightsail platform.

Creating a snapshot of an instance will also be shown, and starting a loadbalancer and connecting it to two web servers as well.

There are a lot of 10+ hours lectures available on online teaching platforms, but in today's fast-paced world, finding the time to watch it all is all but impossible. A lot of compromises and thoughts were put in this course to make it fit in my 2-hours length goal, and a lot of hard decisions made, but all the key topics are presented, and an effort is made so they can be remembered by students.

Check out the detailed breakdown of what’s inside the course

Hello, my name is Jasenko Krejić, I live in beautiful town of Banjaluka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and I am a master of telecommunications. Since I finished university, I have been working with computer systems. Ten years ago I had my first encounter with Linux, and fell in love with it because it's open-source philosophy and architecture. I work in an enterprise-level company, but I always try to stay ahead and do various other projects, and learn new technologies.

Part of learning is sharing knowledge-I consider it a part of my learning path. I hope that in my courses, I have aggregated my knowledge, explained the material as simple as possible, and that I have sparked your curiosity by the questions I always put at the end of the lesson.
