How and where to start learning AWS to build and Manage the Splunk Platform?

[yu94]

Hi All,

I'm a Splunk admin who build and manages the on premises Splunk platform, now I have to build a Splunk platform on AWS and I have no Idea on AWS. Zero Knowledge in AWS.

Can you please guide me from where I need to start learning AWS. My company provides the plural-sight leanings and not sure where to start. Any free videos from any website\YouTube is fine for me.

thanks in advance.

Regards,
Thippesh

plural-sight is a great source of information. i also use udemy. note that not all the courses there are with the same level , and some of them are not worth the time of watching them, so you should read reviews of the course before taking it.

more than that udemy have a lot of promotions and sales, and you can find courses in funny price (like 10$ - that is something i can invest to learn something new) , put some interesting course in the cart and wait for promoand sale , don't pay the full price.

good luck

If you just want to use Splunk on AWS, try

https://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/architecture/splunk-enterprise/
https://s3.amazonaws.com/quickstart-reference/splunk/enterprise/latest/doc/splunk-enterprise-on-the-...

For AWS fundamentals , there are lot of materials available online and also variety of training from Amazone itself. If you already have a subscription in pluralsight, you may start from https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/aws-system-admin-fundamentals

Hi Renjith,

thanks for you suggestion.

also it would be great to know what are the courses I need to go through to be able to build the complete platform i.e. Learning Path.

Thanks,
