Generative AI and LLMs on AWS: Deploying Scalable Models

As generative AI transforms industries, understanding how to deploy and scale large language models in a secure cloud environment is a critical skill for modern developers and cloud enthusiasts. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of LLMs and how to leverage AWS services to build robust AI solutions. You will transition from understanding basic generative AI terminology to confidently configuring, deploying, and monitoring language models in the cloud. By working through clear written explanations and practical scenarios, you will learn to manage model performance, implement retrieval-augmented generation, and ensure compliance. What you'll learn: Understand the foundational architecture of large language models and generative AI concepts; Configure and deploy LLMs using AWS services such as Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker; Implement retrieval-augmented generation patterns to connect models with external data sources securely; Optimize model performance and manage resource allocation for cost-effective scaling; Apply cloud security best practices and compliance standards to your AI deployments; Monitor and observe deployed models to ensure reliability and track performance metrics. The course starts with essential terminology and core cloud AI concepts before moving into step-by-step written guides on deployment workflows, security configurations, and optimization strategies. You will read through detailed architectural breakdowns and practice with written configuration exercises. This course is designed for beginners to cloud-based AI, developers, and cloud practitioners looking to expand their skills into generative AI, with no prior machine learning experience required.
