Architecting on AWS - Accelerator
E-Learning
Description
This course covers all aspects of how to architect for the cloud over four-and-a-half-days. It covers topics from Architecting on AWS and Advanced Architecting on AWS to offer an immersive course in cloud architecture. You will learn how to design cloud architectures, starting small and working to large-scale enterprise level designs—and everything in between. Starting with the Well-Architected Framework, you will learn important architecting information for AWS services including: compute, storage, database, networking, security, monitoring, automation, optimization, benefits of de-coupling applications and serverless, building for resilience, and understanding costs

In this course, you will learn how to:
Make architectural decisions based on AWS architectural principles and best practices
Use AWS services to make your infrastructure scalable, reliable, and highly available
Use AWS Managed Services to enable greater flexibility and resiliency in an infrastructure
Make an AWS-based infrastructure more efficient to increase performance and reduce costs
Use the Well Architected Framework to improve architectures with AWS solutions
This course is intended for:
Solutions Architects who are new to designing and building cloud architectures
Data Center Architects who are migrating from on-premises environment to cloud architectures
Other IT/cloud roles who want to understand how to design and build cloud architectures
