  • Understand how smart applications are created through hands-on exercises and demo web applications built with the AI/Machine Learning (ML)/ Deep Learning (DL) PaaS offerings on AWS like Polly, Lex and Rekognition

Topic/Structure

  • Learn HTML to create a simple website on the AWS Cloud9 Code Editor and understand Cloud9 as an example of SaaS offering
  • Learn about the IaaS offerings on AWS by deploying their own website to the internet using the EC2 and S3 services on AWS and understand these services as an example of IaaS offerings
