Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between IaaS, PaaS and SaaS?

They differ in how much you manage yourself. IaaS provides virtual machines, networking and storage while you manage the operating system and applications, as with Amazon EC2. PaaS manages the servers and platform so you just deploy your code, as with AWS Elastic Beanstalk. SaaS is ready-made software you use straight from a browser, such as cloud email or a CRM.

What is the AWS Shared Responsibility Model?

It divides security duties between AWS and the customer. AWS is responsible for security of the cloud: data centres, hardware, networking and the software that runs its services. The customer is responsible for security in the cloud: their data, IAM permissions, encryption settings and patching operating systems on EC2. The more managed the service, the less the customer has to look after.

What is the difference between a Region, an Availability Zone and an Edge Location?

A Region is a geographical area where AWS runs data centres, such as Asia Pacific (Singapore). Each Region contains several Availability Zones, which are data centres with separate power and networking, so spreading a system across AZs keeps it running if one fails. Edge Locations are points of presence close to users, used by CloudFront and Route 53 to deliver content faster.

Who is the AWS Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) course for, and what should I know beforehand?

It suits people starting a cloud career and taking their first AWS certification, system administrators, developers and IT teams who want a structured understanding of AWS, sales, procurement, finance and project staff working on cloud projects, and students or career changers. No IT, cloud or programming knowledge is needed; you just need to be comfortable with a computer and the internet.

What will I be able to do after the AWS Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) course?

You will be able to explain cloud concepts and AWS infrastructure, choose compute, storage and database services such as EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS and DynamoDB, understand VPC, IAM and the Well-Architected Framework, use cost management tools, and be ready for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam, which you book with AWS directly. Participants who complete the training receive a Certificate of Completion with its own number, which can be verified online.

What do I need to prepare for the AWS Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) course?

You need an email address to sign up for AWS, because the class includes hands-on labs in the AWS Management Console. We recommend a separate test account that stays within the Free Tier, rather than your organisation's production account. No prior IT knowledge is required, and you will take away a lab guide, CLF-C02 practice questions with answers and an exam preparation checklist.
