Architecting on AWS
Overview
The AWS-ARC: Architecting on AWS training course is intended for solutions architects, solution design engineers, and developers seeking an understanding of AWS architecting. In this AWS Architect training 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.
At the end of the course, you will practice building a solution and apply what you have learned
with confidence.
