AWS Architecting Course Outline

Overview
The initial patterns will cover some basic processes such as maintaining and storing backups as well as handling redundancy. The class will then take you through patterns of high availability. Following this, the course will discuss patterns for processing static and dynamic data and patterns for uploading data. Then the class will then dive into patterns for databases and data processing. Finally, you will get to learn about advanced patterns on operations and networking and also get acquainted with Throw-away Environments.

Audience
This course is for anyone who will be architecting solutions on AWS. Specifically this class is for individuals interested in tasks such as creating and maintaining backups; implementing scaling policies on schedules, influxes in traffic, and deep health checks; provisioning servers and data storage; optimize databases through caching and sharding; and monitoring and queuing data for processing.

Prerequisites
Learners should have taken the AWS Essentials class (or have had acquired similar knowledge) before attending this course. Students should also have an understanding of system administration concepts, enterprise servers, networking and general database management familiarity

Certification Options
This class when combined with the AWS Essentials class, will provide a strong foundation in preparation for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect—Associate certification exam.
