Architecting

This course is designed for solutions architects, solution-design engineers, and developers aiming to gain an in-depth understanding of cloud-based solution architecture. Here, you’ll discover how to identify services and features to build resilient, secure, and highly available IT solutions on the cloud. Architectural solutions can vary according to the industry, types of applications, and the size of the business. The course, led by authorized instructors, uses a well-architected framework to highlight best practices, leading you through the process of designing optimal IT solutions based on real-world scenarios. The modules focus on areas like account security, networking, computation, storage, databases, monitoring, automation, containers, serverless architecture, edge services, and backup and recovery. The course concludes with a practical exercise, allowing you to apply your learning by constructing a solution.

• Course level: Intermediate

This course presents a set of scenarios with architectural challenges that you must solve. You’ll explore the range of available cloud services and features as potential solutions to these problems. Participating in problem-based discussions, you’ll learn about the cloud services that could be applied to meet these challenges. Throughout the course’s three days, you’ll go beyond the basics of cloud infrastructure and cover diverse customer needs. Course modules focus on managing multiple cloud accounts; hybrid connectivity and devices; networking, with a focus on transit gateway connectivity; container services; automation tools for continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD); security and distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection; data lakes and data stores; edge services; migration options; and cost management. The course concludes with various scenarios, challenging you to identify the best solutions.

• Course level: Advanced

This course validates the learner’s advanced technical skills and experience in designing distributed applications and systems on a cloud platform.

• Course level: Advanced

This course prepares learners for the Certified Solutions Architect – Associate exam, which validates technical expertise in designing and deploying scalable, highly available, and fault-tolerant systems on the cloud. This half-day, intermediate-level training guides you on how to prepare for the exam by exploring the exam’s topic areas and how they relate to cloud architecture and specific study areas. The course reviews sample exam questions in each topic area and teaches you how to interpret the concepts being tested, enabling you to eliminate incorrect responses more easily.

• Course level: Intermediate

In this advanced technical-level, instructor-led course, students receive an in-depth exploration of the best practices for conducting comprehensive cloud infrastructure reviews. It covers the different phases of a review, including preparation, execution, and subsequent guidance. Designed for customers and partners who are already familiar with cloud concepts, terminology, services, and tools, this course provides a simulated framework review. Group exercises and discussions focus on risk prioritization and resolution. Course content emphasizes how to prepare proposals on high and medium-risk issues using a specialized framework tool.

• Course level: Advanced

This certification exam validates advanced technical skills and experience in designing distributed applications and systems on a cloud platform.

Designed for learners who can quickly absorb and understand new information, this comprehensive course presents various aspects of cloud architecture over five days. Drawing content from beginner and advanced architecture courses, it provides a consolidated course on cloud architecture. Architectural solutions vary depending on the industry, types of applications, and the size of the business. Authorized instructors emphasize best practices using a well-architected framework and guide you through the process of designing optimal IT solutions based on real-life scenarios. The modules cover computation, storage, databases, networking, security, monitoring, automation, containers, serverless architecture, edge services, and backup and recovery. They also focus on optimization, the benefits of loosely coupled applications and serverless components, building resilience, and understanding costs. Through hands-on labs, students will apply the knowledge from lectures to gain practical skills.
