Video description
This course examines the process of using Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 as a platform for a database backed web application. It describes how to deploy an EC2 instance and a RDS instance, how to connect the EC2 instance and the RDS instance, how to connect PHP to the RDS database, and how to retrieve data. Learners will come away with an understanding of how to deploy EC2 with an application whether that application is PHP based or using another language. Requirements include basic understanding of SSH (Secure Shell), MySQL databases, and access to an AWS account (i.e., capable of deploying EC2 and RDS instances, working with security groups, key pairs, snapshots, and billing).

- Discover how to connect an EC2 instance to RDS and retrieve data
- Examine the differences between AWS EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, and Lightsail
