An Intro to Cloud Computing for Data Science

Taught by: @samanthacsik
Duration: ~2 hrs

The Cloud is a buzzword we often hear, but maybe don't quite understand. In this workshop, we'll learn a bit about what cloud computing means and can look like, how to launch a virtual machine (i.e. an instance) using Amazon Web Services (AWS), and how we can leverage more powerful computers (e.g. the cloud) to run computationally-intensive processes in less time.

Looking to jump straight into launching your first Amazon EC2 instance? Find documentation here.
