If you seek to optimize your use of the AWS Cloud or wish to capitalize on available discounts, our comprehensive video series, AWS for Education, is designed to address your administrative cloud requirements. You can choose from seven informative videos covering topics such as AWS Organizations, adding contacts, Identity and Access Management, billing, auditing, and networking.

Foundational Steps to Consider

• When establishing your AWS account, ensure you select your security questions, alternative contacts, and activate multi-factor authentication.
• Utilize AWS Organizations for billing across your AWS accounts. This feature allows for the creation of account groups and the centralized management of policies, eliminating the need for custom scripts or manual interventions.
• Activate AWS CloudTrail in all regions. With CloudTrail, you can log, continuously monitor, and retain events associated with API calls throughout your AWS infrastructure.
• Set up an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) access log bucket and enable S3 access logs for critical buckets in each account.
• Configure your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to gain command over your virtual networking environment, including choosing your own IP address range, creating subnets, and setting up route tables and network gateways.
• Ensure campus connectivity options to AWS services and VPCs (VPN, AWS Direct Connect, I2) are established.
