Course Overview
Advanced Architecting on AWS is an advanced, three-day classroom training course focused on solving complex architectural challenges using AWS services and features. The course uses scenarios, group discussions, use cases, assessments, and hands-on labs to develop practical architectural decision-making skills.
The course covers multi-account management, hybrid connectivity, AWS Transit Gateway, specialized infrastructure, containers, CI/CD, high availability and DDoS protection, data security, data lakes, large-scale applications, cost optimization, and workload migration. It concludes with a capstone project requiring learners to apply architectural concepts to real-world scenarios.
