Course Description

Learn crucial skills to help you become a solutions architect


On this four-week course, you’ll get prepared to begin your career architecting solutions on AWS. Through a series of use case scenarios and practical learning, you’ll learn to identify services and features to build resilient, secure, and highly available IT solutions in the AWS Cloud.


Each week, a fictional customer will present a different need. You’ll then review the options, choose the best one for the use case, and be guided through the architecture design on a whiteboard. This practical approach will ensure you finish the course with the understanding to use the AWS Cloud to its full potential.


Unpack event-driven architecture


You’ll learn about event-driven architectures with focus on performance efficiency and cost. You’ll then gain knowledge on how to architect a solution using many purpose-built AWS services.


With this understanding, you’ll get a sense of hybrid architectures with a refined focus on reliability and operational efficiency.


Explore Amazon Kinesis


Next, you’ll learn how to design a serverless data analytics solution on AWS. You’ll gain an overview of data analytics before exploring Amazon S3 as well as Amazon Kinesis to help you develop a comprehensive understanding of AWS services.


With this knowledge, you’ll be able to choose the right solution for your needs and take your architecture optimisation to the next level.


Understand Amazon RDS


You’ll delve into Amazon RDS to explore the services available in the cloud to help you set up, operate, and scale databases.


Finally, you’ll wrap up your learning by understanding a multi-account strategy centred on security and cost.


This course is designed for anyone interested in working in the Cloud.


It will be useful for aspiring solutions architects or those curious about how the role works.
