Advanced Architecting on AWS

The Advanced Architecting course is designed for professionals at an advanced level and serves as a continuation of the Architecting on AWS - Associate Course. Each lesson in this course presents architectural scenarios that require strategic handling.

Throughout the course, you will explore various AWS capabilities and services as potential solutions to address these scenarios. Engaging in problem-based discussions and gaining knowledge about the relevant AWS services will broaden your perspectives and enhance your understanding of architectural decision-making.

Spanning three days, the course goes beyond the fundamentals of cloud infrastructure and delves into addressing diverse needs of AWS customers. Key topics covered in the course modules include managing multiple AWS accounts, automating continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) processes and effective cost management strategies.

Towards the end of the course, you will encounter real-world situations and be challenged to select the most suitable solutions. Successful completion of the Advanced Architecting on AWS Course aids in preparation of earning the AWS Solutions Architect – Professional Certification, demonstrating your proficiency in advanced AWS architectural concepts and practices.
