In this course, each module presents a scenario with an architectural challenge for you to solve. You will examine available AWS services and features as solutions to the problem. You will participate in problem-based discussions and learn about the AWS services that you could apply to meet the challenges.
The course goes beyond the basics of a cloud infrastructure and covers topics to meet a variety of needs for AWS customers. Course modules focus on managing multiple AWS accounts; hybrid connectivity and devices; multiple networks, with a focus on AWS Transit Gateway connectivity; container services; automation tools for continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD); security and distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection; data lakes and data stores; edge services; migration options; and managing costs.
The course concludes by presenting you with scenarios and challenging you to identify the best solutions.
