Architecting on AWS (ILT)

In this three-day course students will learn to identify services and features to build resilient, secure and highly available IT solutions on the AWS Cloud. Our AWS Authorised instructors emphasise best practices using the AWS Well-Architected Framework, and guide students through the process of designing optimal IT solutions, based on real-life scenarios.

Duration: 3 Days
