Advanced Architecting on AWS

In this course, each module presents a scenario with an architectural challenge to be solved. You willexamine available AWS services and features as solutions to the problem. You will gain insights byparticipating in problem-based discussions and learning about the AWS services that you could apply tomeet the challenges. Over 3 days, the course goes beyond the basics of a cloud infrastructure and coverstopics to meet a variety of needs for AWS customers. Course modules focus on managing multiple AWSaccounts, hybrid connectivity and devices, networking with a focus on AWS Transit Gateway connectivity,container services, automation tools for continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), security anddistributed 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 toidentify the best solutions.

    KMS) and AWS Secrets Manager
  • Determine the best data management solution based on frequency of access, and data query and
    analysis needs
  • Set up a data lake and examine the advantages of this type of storage configuration to crawl and
    query data in a lab environment
  • Identify solutions to optimize edge services to eliminate latency, reduce inefficiencies, and mitigate
    risks
  • Identify the components used to automate the scaling of global applications using geolocation
    and traffic control
  • Deploy and activate an AWS Storage Gateway file gateway and AWS DataSync in a lab
    environment
  • Review AWS cost management tools to optimize costs while ensuring speed and performance
  • Review migration tools, services, and processes that AWS provides to implement effective cloud
    operation models based on use cases and business needs
  • Provide evidence of your ability to apply the technical knowledge and experience gained in the
    course to improve business practices by completing a Capstone Project
