Overview
Description
Architecting on AWS is for solutions architects, engineers, and developers looking to understand AWS architecting. Learn to identify services and features to build resilient, secure, and highly available IT solutions on the AWS Cloud.
Architectural solutions vary by industry, application types, and business size. AWS instructors emphasize best practices using the Well-Architected Framework and guide you in designing optimal IT solutions through real-life scenarios. The course covers account security, networking, compute, storage, databases, monitoring, automation, containers, serverless architecture, edge services, and backup. You will apply what you learn by building a solution.

In this course, you will learn to:
- AWS architecting basics and explore AWS management tools (Console, CLI, CloudFormation)
- Implement account security policies and build elastic, secure VPCs with public and private subnets
- Build AWS core networking infrastructure and practice creating VPCs, EC2 instances, and RDS with an ALB
- Compare AWS storage and database solutions, and practice building auto-scaling database layers
- Explore monitoring, automation, and security tools, and discuss network peering, VPC endpoints, and hybrid configurations
- Practice building serverless and edge architectures and a CloudFront deployment, ensuring business continuity and resiliency
