Course Description

This immersive, advanced-level, five-day course covers all aspects of how to architect for the AWS Cloud. Covering topics from Architecting on AWSand Advanced Architecting on AWS, this course is intended to teach you how to design cloud architectures, from small-scale designs to large-scale, enterprise-level designs. Starting with the Well-Architected Framework, you will also learn important architecting information for AWS services. These include: compute, storage, database, networking, security, monitoring, automation, optimization, benefits of decoupling applications and serverless, building for resilience, and understanding costs. 

Objectives

In this course, you will learn to:

• Apply the AWS Well-Architected Framework
• Manage multiple AWS accounts for your organization
• Connect an on-premises data center to the AWS Cloud
• Discuss billing implications of connecting multi-region VPCs
• Move large data from an on-premises data center to AWS
• Design large data stores for the AWS Cloud
• Understand different architectural designs for scaling a large website
• Protect your infrastructure from distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks
• Secure your data on AWS with encryption
• Design protection of data at rest and data in transit
• Enhance the performance of your solutions
• Select the most appropriate AWS deployment mechanism
