Read MoreThe course is a solid intro to setting up an AWS EC2 instance for use with FileMaker. I wish it went into a bit more detail on the AMIs and scheduling regular snapshots. That said, it was a quick and well designed course explaining all the basics needed to get immediate value from AWS EC2 resources.

No. This course covers setting up your first AWS account all the way through to setting up your first virtual desktop (EC2 computer). The course goes on to show you how to configure security, get connected and many other ins and outs of the AWS world as it relates to you the FileMaker developer.
Technically, AWS is generally considered a Windows environment, but can be ran virtually on Mac. The AWS instance can be accessed from a Windows computer, a Macintosh or any other device capable of controlling a virtual machine. Incidentally, this course was taught from the viewpoint of the developer having a Macintosh where AWS could double both as their development environment as much as it can be their Windows environment.
Initially this course may be too basic for you. As it expands over time, it is likely to evolve to a much more in-depth course covering many other aspect of AWS well beyond setting up an EC2 instance.
Yes! This course is perfect for FileMaker beginners (and certainly AWS beginners as well). This course is specifically designed to get you started on the right foot with your FileMaker developer environment regardless of your FileMaker development skills. Please know that this course does NOT attempt to train you on anything related to FileMaker development specifically. Rather, it trains you on how to set up a FileMaker environment only.
Either nothing for the first year or very little. AWS has a free tier good for 12 months with every new account and as such, many, if not all, of the services will be completely free of charge during that time frame. It's just a matter of selecting the services that fall under the free tier. This course will guide you towards those free options. It's highly likely that if you set up a new AWS account and follow along closely, there will be absolutely no charge for AWS for the first year. If you already have an AWS account, you are likely familiar with the pricing of AWS. There is an area on the course that discusses AWS pricing.
The course will be an ever-evolving offering that starts with the basics at first and then later throughout each year, more content will be added.
This course will be continuously evolving, updating and improving. The world of AWS and FileMaker is in a continual state of flux and improvement. As such, new tools and features become available and can be explored in this course. In addition, there is a never ending opportunity to present additional aspects of AWS as it related to FileMaker development.
