Module Overview

In this module, we explore the two main ways to run code and applications in AWS: virtual servers (EC2) and serverless functions (Lambda).

  1. EC2 Foundations: Understanding what EC2 is and when to use it.
  2. Launching Instances: The core building blocks for launching an EC2 instance.

By the end of this module, you'll know when to choose a server you manage versus a function that runs without server management.
