DEEPDIVE — full study package

200+ AWS Services... But You Need Only THESE

Based on Vishakha Sadhwani's AWS roadmap video (youtu.be/Kuy-pGuz02M). Yeh package poora video content ko study material + hands-on labs mein convert karta hai — 7 buckets, 7 labs, aur 7 portfolio projects. Sab kuch self-contained, offline padhne/practice karne ke liye.

Core Philosophy
AWS ke paas 200+ services hain, but real-world applications ka 95% sirf 15-20 core services se ban jaata hai. Yeh package usi 15-20 pe focus karta hai — har service ka kya hai / kyun hai / kaise use hota hai, plus ek matching hands-on lab jahan tum khud console/CLI mein karke dikhaoge.
Kaise use karo
Har bucket ke liye pehle Study page padho (concepts + decision trees), fir uska matching Lab khud karo (checkbox-style steps hain, har step ka what/why/how diya hai). Saare 7 buckets ke baad, Capstone Projects section mein jaakar in sab services ko ek real architecture mein combine karo.
Labs shuru karne se pehle
Har lab mein study page ki har service hands-on hai — sirf click-along nahi: har step ka what/why/how, verify karne wale checks (click karke tick karo, progress save hoti hai), Break & Fix drills (jaan-boojh ke todo aur debug karo), ek Challenge bina steps ke, aur interview-style Explain it back sawal. Total ~47–55 ghante (9 labs). Poore course mein region us-east-1 use hota hai. Lab 1 ka Part A (billing alarm + budgets) sabse pehle karo, aur har lab ke end ka cleanup usi din — Lab 4 (NAT Gateway, ALB) aur optional EKS ghante ke hisaab se charge karte hain.

Study Guide — 7 Buckets

Bucket 01

Foundation & Security

Yeh bucket wo ground hai jispe baaki sab 6 buckets khade honge. Account setup, governance, aur IAM — bina isko strong kiye aage kuch bhi galat direction mein ja sakta hai.

Study → Lab →
Bucket 02

Compute & Containers

Har application ko kahin na kahin run hona hai. Yeh bucket decide karta hai 'kahan' aur 'kaise' — server pe, function ki tarah, ya container mein.

Study → Lab →
Bucket 03

Storage & Databases

Data kahin toh rehna hai — files, backups, structured records, sab. Yeh bucket batata hai kaunsa storage type kis use-case ke liye hai.

Bucket 04

Networking & Content Delivery

Networking scary lagta hai but reality yeh hai — tumhe network engineer nahi, sirf 'systems ko connect karna' aana chahiye.

Study → Lab →
Bucket 05

DevOps, Automation & IaC

Yahan se console pe clicking band, aur sab kuch code se define hota hai. Tumhare Jenkins background ke liye yeh sabse comfortable bucket hoga.

Study → Lab →
Bucket 06

AI & Machine Learning

2026 ka differentiator. AI ab optional skill nahi — expected hai. Yeh bucket 3 patterns pe based hai: Managed services, Serverless AI, aur Containers/GPU.

Study → Lab →
Bucket 07

Monitoring, Observability & Cost

Production mein sab kuch chalne ke baad bhi kaam khatam nahi hota — cheezein break hoti hain, bills shock deti hain, aur security audits chahiye hote hain. Yeh bucket 'operate' karna sikhata hai.

Study → Lab →

Bonus Labs — Security, Integration & Networking+

Study buckets ke bahar ki woh services jo real jobs aur interviews mein core-7 ke turant baad aati hain. Lab 7 ke baad karo.

Lab 08

Security, Identity & Governance

KMS + envelope encryption, permission boundaries, Access Analyzer, IAM Identity Center, Cognito + JWT API, WAF, AWS Config remediation, GuardDuty, Security Hub, Control Tower.

Lab →
Lab 09

Integration, Streaming & Networking+

SQS (DLQ, FIFO), SNS fan-out, Step Functions + X-Ray, Kinesis + Firehose, VPC peering, Transit Gateway, aur ek asli Site-to-Site VPN.

Lab →

Scenario Labs — real-world projects

Labs ke baad: business problem + requirements milte hain, design aur build tum karte ho, phir hidden guided solution se compare. EC2-to-EC2 3-tier, do VPCs ki peering + private DNS, cross-region peering, PrivateLink with overlapping CIDRs, bastion vs Session Manager, NAT instance vs NAT Gateway, VPC-endpoint-locked S3, auto-scaling + blue/green, broken-network troubleshooting, cross-region DR.

10 Scenarios

Networking, EC2 & resilience projects

Har scenario: story, requirements, hints, guided solution, verification tests, Break & Fix, cleanup. ~17–20 ghante total.

Open scenarios →
Personal account + company sandbox
Dono ko mila ke use kar sakte ho: personal account root/billing/Budgets/Cost Explorer/Organizations/SCP/Identity Center/Control Tower ke liye (sandbox mein yeh access nahi milta), aur sandbox hourly-charge wali cheezon (NAT, EKS, Aurora, Transit Gateway, VPN) ke liye. Har lab ke upar "🏢 Account" line batati hai kya kahan karna hai, aur Lab 1 Part 0 mein ek script hai jo check karti hai sandbox mein kya allowed hai. Company ke rules pehle — sandbox admin se confirm kar lo.

Capstone

★ Final Milestone

7 Portfolio Projects

Har bucket se seekhe gaye services ko combine karke real-world architectures banao — three-tier web app se lekar production AI chatbot tak.
