AWS Developer Fundamentals
Beginner 4.4 hours English
Our recommendation
Pluralsight's hands-on tour of the core AWS services a developer reaches for first. Over about four and a half hours it walks through compute (EC2), storage (S3) and databases (RDS, DynamoDB), building a working mental model of the platform. Practical and developer-focused — a solid orientation before deeper AWS work or certification study.
