Advanced Linux

In the advanced Linux module, you’ll launch an EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instance into a region of AWS and learn some basic automation techniques with the AWS CLI and bash – skills you will need in your day-to-day as an AWS CloudOps Engineer.

 

Specifically, you will do the following:

  • Access the S3 and EC2 services using the AWS CLI
  • Learn how the CLI authenticates calls by attaching an Instance Profile
  • Use the EC2 metadata service in a bash script
  • Put it all together by launching a new instance with the CLI and using EC2 userdata
