ARCHITECTING ON AWS PLUS JAM

$2,395.00

Learn to identify services and features to build resilient, secure and highly available IT solutions on the AWS Cloud.

Learn to identify services and features to build resilient, secure and highly available IT solutions on the AWS Cloud.

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. During the course, you will practice building a solution and apply what you have learned with confidence.

The final day of this course is the Architecting on AWS Jam, a gamified activity with teams competing to win by completing a series of hands-on challenges on the AWS platform over the course of the day. Participants will have the opportunity to develop, enhance, and validate team skillsets in the AWS Cloud through real-world problem solving
