1 Module 1: Introduction to Cloud Computing and Virtual Servers
N/A

Welcome to the world of cloud computing! This module introduces the fundamental concepts you need to understand before diving into Google Compute Engine. We'll explore what cloud computing is, define Virtual Private Servers (VPS), introduce the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and finally, position Google Compute Engine (GCE) as GCP's powerful VPS solution.


2 Module 2: Getting Started with GCP and GCE
30 Min

Now that you understand the basic concepts, this module guides you through the initial steps of using Google Cloud Platform and Compute Engine. You'll learn how to set up your account, navigate the management interface, and get acquainted with the command-line tools.


3 Module 3: Creating Your First GCE VM Instance
N/A

This module dives into the practical steps of creating your first Google Compute Engine (GCE) Virtual Machine (VM). We'll cover the essential configuration choices: location (regions and zones), virtual hardware (machine types), operating system and storage (boot disks), and initial network settings. We'll walk through creating both Linux and Windows VMs using the Google Cloud Console and the gcloud command-line tool.


4 Module 4: Connecting to and Managing GCE Instances
1 Hour

Creating VMs is just the first step. Now, you need to learn how to connect to them to install software, configure services, and manage them effectively. This module covers connecting to Linux instances using SSH and Windows instances using RDP, essential management tasks like starting, stopping, and deleting instances, and understanding the VM instance lifecycle.


1 Chapter 1: Your First AWS Web Server (EC2 Basics)
30 Min

This chapter guides beginners through the foundational steps required to launch their first virtual server on AWS using Amazon EC2. It covers setting up an AWS account, understanding the global infrastructure concepts of Regions and Availability Zones, and using the AWS Management Console to launch an EC2 instance configured for basic web hosting access.


2 Chapter 2: Installing and Configuring Web Server Software
30 Min

With a running EC2 instance accessible via SSH, the next step is to install and configure the software that will actually serve web content. This chapter covers installing common web server software (Apache or Nginx) on Amazon Linux, performing basic configuration, setting up firewall rules for web access, and deploying simple website files.


3 Chapter 3: AWS Networking Fundamentals
30 Min

Hosting a web server requires understanding the underlying network infrastructure. AWS provides robust and flexible networking services that allow users to create isolated, secure, and configurable network environments in the cloud. This chapter explains the core components: Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Subnets, Internet Gateways (IGW), Security Groups, and Elastic IP addresses (EIPs).


4 Chapter 4: Domain Names with Route 53
30 Min

While an Elastic IP address provides a stable way to reach the web server, users typically access websites using memorable domain names (e.g., www.example.com) rather than raw IP addresses. The Domain Name System (DNS) is the internet's phonebook, translating these human-friendly names into the numerical IP addresses computers use to connect. Amazon Route 53 is AWS's highly available and scalable cloud DNS service, used here to connect a custom domain name to the EC2 web server.3


5 Chapter 5: Building Scalable Architectures
30 Min

This chapter introduces two core AWS services designed to overcome these limitations: Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) for distributing traffic and Auto Scaling for automatically adjusting capacity.


6 Chapter 6: Adding a Database with RDS
30 Min

Most dynamic web applications need a persistent data store. While a database can be installed and managed directly on an EC2 instance, AWS offers Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), a managed service that simplifies database setup, operation, and scaling.6 Using RDS offloads administrative tasks like patching, backups, and replication, allowing developers to focus on the application. This chapter covers integrating an RDS database with the EC2 web application architecture.


7 Chapter 7: Securing Your Web Application
30 Min

Security is paramount for any web application. While previous chapters established basic security measures like SSH key pairs and security groups, this chapter delves into more advanced security practices crucial for production environments. It covers using IAM roles for secure AWS service access from EC2, refining security group configurations, and adding protective layers with AWS WAF and AWS Shield. The guiding principle throughout is the concept of least privilege: granting only the minimum permissions necessary for a component to perform its function.
