My First Steps with AWS

AWS felt overwhelming at first with dozens of services and acronyms. I started small — just what I needed to get my applications running in production.

What I Learned

• EC2 — launching virtual servers, SSH access, and basic server setup
• S3 — storing and serving static assets like images and uploads
• Amplify — deploying and hosting full-stack applications

Building Real Projects

I used AWS to deploy and host full-stack applications in production. Setting up EC2 instances, hosting frontends with Amplify, and serving assets from S3 taught me the fundamentals of cloud infrastructure.

Where I Am Now

I'm comfortable with core AWS services needed to deploy and run a web application.
