Course Overview
Architecting on AWS is for solutions architects, solution-design engineers, and developers seeking an understanding of AWS architecting. In this course, you will learn to identify services and features to build resilient, secure and highly available IT solutions on the AWS Cloud.
Architectural solutions differ depending on industry, types of applications, and business size. AWS Authorized Instructors emphasize best practices using the AWS Well-Architected Framework, and guide you through the process of designing optimal IT solutions, based on real-life scenarios. The modules focus on account security, networking, compute, storage, databases, monitoring, automation, containers, serverless architecture, edge services, and backup and recovery. At the end of the course, you will practice building a solution and apply what you have learned with confidence.
Course Objectives
In this course, you will learn to:
- Identify AWS architecting basic practices
- Summarize the fundamentals of account security
- Identify strategies to build a secure virtual network that includes private and public subnets
- Practice building a multi-tier architecture in AWS
- Identify strategies to select the appropriate compute resources based on business use cases
- Compare and contrast AWS storage products and services based on business scenarios
- Compare and contrast AWS database services based on business needs
- Identify the role of monitoring, load balancing, and auto scaling responses based on business needs
- Identify and discuss AWS automation tools that will help you build, maintain, and evolve your infrastructure
- Discuss hybrid networking, network peering, and gateway and routing solutions to extend and secure your infrastructure
- Explore AWS container services for the rapid implementation of an infrastructure-agnostic, portable application environment
- Identify the business and security benefits of AWS serverless services based on business examples
- Discuss the ways in which AWS edge services address latency and security
- Explore AWS backup, recovery solutions, and best practices to ensure resiliency and business continuity
