Start with AWS foundations, storage, and permissions, then learn networking, compute, and databases. Connect these skills in Web and Serverless projects. Add security, monitoring, messaging, workflows, and automated deployment, then explore DNS/CDN, containers, shared storage, caching, analytics, and AI as needed. Learn through guided labs before independent challenges, with troubleshooting and cleanup throughout. Use these hands-on skills to support AWS certification study alongside the guide for your chosen exam.
