Architecting on AWS is a course for solution architects, solution design engineers, and developers who want to understand the AWS architecture.
In this course, you'll learn to identify services and features to build resilient, secure, and available IT solutions on AWS Cloud. Architectural solutions differ by industry, application types, and business size. AWS Certified 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.
Modules focus on account security, networking, compute, storage, databases, monitoring, automation, containers, serverless architecture, edge services, backup and recovery.
At the end of the course, you'll practice building a solution and apply what you've learned.
