Advanced Developing on AWS

The Advanced Developing on AWS course uses the real-world scenario of taking a legacy, on-premisesmonolithic application and refactoring it into a serverless microservices architecture. This three-dayadvanced course covers advanced development topics such as architecting for a cloud-native environment;deconstructing on-premises, legacy applications and repackaging them into cloud-based, cloud nativearchitectures; and applying the tenets of the Twelve-Factor Application methodology.

Course objectives:

  • Analyze a monolithic application architecture to determine logical or programmatic break points
    where the application can be broken up across different AWS services
  • Apply Twelve-Factor Application manifesto concepts and steps while migrating from a monolithic
    architecture
  • Recommend the appropriate AWS services to develop a microservices based cloud-native
    application
  • Use the AWS API, CLI, and SDKs to monitor and manage AWS services
  • Migrate a monolithic application to a microservices application using the 6 Rs of migration
  • Explain the SysOps and DevOps interdependencies necessary to deploy a microservices application
    in AWS

Audience:

  • This course is intended for experienced software developers who are already familiar with AWS services.

Prerequisites:

We recommend that attendees of this course have the following prerequisites:

  • In-depth knowledge of at least one high-level programming language
  • Working knowledge of core AWS services and public cloud implementation
  • Completion of the Developing on AWS classroom training, and then a minimum of 6 months of
    application of those concepts in a real world environment
