A Beginner’s Guide for AWS Management Console

By Robert Ulrich 16 Nov 2022

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has gained a lot of momentum in the last few years. Currently, it’s one of the leading cloud services available. And for good reason. The secret behind AWS’s success is the fact that it makes cloud computing simple. The AWS Management Console is a powerful platform. It lets users play around with everything that the cloud service offers. Whether you’re an AWS beginner or an expert developer, the AWS console will let you tap into the true potential of this cloud service.

Our AWS management console beginners guide will familiarize you with the AWS cloud console and everything it has to offer. Let’s get started.

AWS Management Console: What is it?

The AWS Management Console is a secure web app that lets you manage all of your AWS-related resources. The console has a decent GUI that makes interacting with the cloud platform quite straightforward. As a user, you can explore all of AWS’s services (more than 150) and try out their free trials as well. You can access the AWS management console from anywhere in the world, either through a web browser or through the AWS console app.

AWS Management Console Main Features

The AWS management console has a ton of features. And these features let you interact with your services. Let’s go through all of its main features.

Businesses can run applications in their AWS public record with Elastic Compute Cloud.
You can access Amazon Simple Storage Service. This is a cost-effective and simple cloud storage service that lets you create backups of archived data and applications.
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). AWS IAM lets businesses control access to their resources and services securely through the console.
You can also run and monitor customer applications with the help of CloudWatch. Any customer application that is part of the Amazon cloud infrastructure can be interacted with through the AWS console.
There’s also an SQL database service called Amazon Relational Database Service.
AWS also makes use of Auto Scaling. Auto scaling is a useful cloud feature that removes and adds computing resources as they are needed by the system.
System administrators can use AWS OpWorks to manage activities such as infrastructure deployment.
Along with a suite of useful tools, the AWS console app has several resources that people can use to learn more about the console.
There’s even an AWS console mobile app that you can use. The AWS console app lets you interact with the web app while you’re away from your computer. The AWS console app is available for Android and iOS devices as well.

If we dive into all of AWS’s services, we’ll be here for a long time. You can get in touch with our AWS experts in order to learn more.

AWS Management Console: the Basics

Learning your way around the AWS management console is quite easy. The web-based AWS console app makes navigation easy for an expert developer and for beginners. The management console has separate consoles inside of it for every service. In order to open a specific service console, you can simply type in the service’s name in the search bar. For instance, if you want to access the AWS IAM console, you’ll type “AWS IAM console” in the search bar in order to open it.

You can customize the console to an extent as well. AWS gives you the option to pin all of your most-used services on its main page. Adding these shortcuts is simple; just select the pin icon in the console’s navigation bar. After this, you can drag and drop your services into the navigation bar. This way, whenever you login to your AWS console, you can save time by not having to search for your services every time.

Changing Your AWS Account Password

You can change the password of your AWS management console whenever you want. This is useful for maintaining your account security. In order to change your AWS console login details, here’s what you need to do:

Login to your AWS console using your existing credentials.
Navigate to “account name” in the navigation bar and choose the “security credentials” option.
Find the change password section and follow the instructions to change your password.

Keep in mind that only the owner of an account has the option to change its password.

Conclusion

The AWS management console is a powerful web-based application. It allows users to explore the complete capabilities of AWS without having to get lost in technicalities. The console’s GUI is well-designed and easy to navigate. You can even customize it by pinning all of your favourite services in the navigation bar.

The management console also has some robust security features. Users can interact with it to manage their services without having to worry about potential breaches in your security. You can also login to the console via the AWS console app. What’s more, AWS is constantly updating the management console in order to make it even better. Overall, the management console is a superb web-based application for AWS beginners, administrators, and developers.
