Course Overview

This course equips students with the skills to design, build, and manage robust cloud solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Learners will gain practical experience in applying AWS architectural principles to develop scalable, reliable, and secure systems. The course emphasizes selecting the right compute, storage, database, and networking services to meet diverse business needs. Students will also learn to implement secure access controls, encryption, and monitoring techniques to safeguard cloud environments. Additionally, they will explore automating infrastructure deployments using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with AWS CloudFormation, and designing cost-optimized, fault-tolerant architectures aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

Key Learning Highlights

  • Design scalable and secure cloud solutions using Amazon Web Services (AWS) best practices

  • Choose suitable AWS services for compute, storage, database, and networking needs

  • Implement security controls, encryption, and monitoring for cloud environments

  • Automate deployments using AWS CloudFormation and Infrastructure as Code

  • Build cost-efficient, fault-tolerant systems with the AWS Well-Architected Framework

Tools & Platform Used

Learning Outcome

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

  • Apply Amazon Web Services (AWS) architectural principles to design secure, scalable, and reliable cloud solutions

  • Select appropriate AWS services for different infrastructure layers based on business needs

  • Implement robust security through access control, encryption, and continuous monitoring

  • Automate infrastructure provisioning and management using AWS CloudFormation

  • Design cost-optimized, highly available, and fault-tolerant architectures using the AWS Well-Architected Framework

Master the course with just 17 Modules

This course progressively builds expertise in designing and deploying cloud solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It begins with an introduction to cloud architecting, the AWS Well-Architected Framework, and global infrastructure, followed by core services such as Amazon S3 for storage, Amazon EC2 for compute, and Amazon RDS/Amazon DynamoDB for databases. Learners explore networking fundamentals using Amazon VPC, secure access through AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), and advanced connectivity via VPN, Direct Connect, and Transit Gateway. Modules cover security, monitoring, elasticity, automation with AWS CloudFormation, and performance optimization using CloudFront and ElastiCache. Students also learn to build decoupled, serverless, and microservices-based architectures using AWS Lambda, Step Functions, and Amazon API Gateway, along with data engineering and disaster recovery strategies. The course concludes with exam preparation for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate and a capstone project that integrates all learned components into a complete cloud architecture.
