Understood the role of AWS Backup in centralizing and automating data protection for resources such as EBS, RDS, DynamoDB, and EFS.
Deployed the lab infrastructure, created a backup plan, assigned resources to the plan, and configured backup schedules per the workshop policy.
Configured Amazon SNS to receive notifications when backup or restore jobs complete for centralized status monitoring.
Performed restore testing from backups and verified that recovered data met expectations.
Completed cleanup of AWS Backup lab resources to avoid unnecessary charges.
Understood the hybrid storage model with AWS Storage Gateway (File Gateway) — connecting on-premises file storage to object storage in S3.
Prepared the lab environment (S3 bucket, EC2 gateway host), activated Storage Gateway, and created a file share.
Mounted the file share on an on-premises machine, tested file read/write operations, and confirmed data synchronization to S3.
Fully cleaned up Storage Gateway resources after completing the lab.
Mastered core Amazon S3 concepts: buckets, objects, durability (11 nines), and common use cases (websites, backup, data lakes).
Created an S3 bucket, enabled static website hosting, configured Block Public Access, and set public objects as required by the lab.
Validated website access via the S3 website endpoint and documented the static content delivery flow from object storage.
Deployed Amazon CloudFront to accelerate static website delivery while restricting direct public access to the bucket.
Enabled bucket versioning to protect objects from accidental overwrites or deletions; practiced moving objects between prefixes/buckets.
Configured cross-region replication (CRR) to replicate objects to another Region for disaster recovery and data residency needs.
Summarized notes and best practices for S3 cost, security, and operations; completed cleanup of buckets, distributions, and related resources.
