AWS Cloud Architect program introduction

Career interview with your instructors

Introduction to Availability, Reliability, and Resiliency

In this lesson, you will review the course prerequisites and history of the high level concepts. You will learn what makes these topics important and you'll get a glimpse at the course project.

AZs and Regions

Overview of AWS Regions and Availability Zones and how they are used to enable high availability and geographic redundancy.

Building For Resiliency

In this lesson you will learn how to make individual AWS services resilient. You'll look at native and non-native services and learn about the difference between them with regard to high availability

Business Objectives

A look at how resilience and availability are measure by your business and how these engineering concepts integrate with the day-to-day business world.

Monitor, React, and Recover

Now that you've seen how to build highly available systems, you'll take a look at how to make sure that these systems are up and running and what to do when problems do occur.

Project: Recoverability In AWS

Introduction to Design for Cost, Performance, & Scalability

Welcome to the course! In this lesson, we'll discuss the importance of performance efficiency, look at the history of performance in the cloud and get you set up for the rest of the course.

Cost and Monitoring

Managing cloud spend is quoted as one of the major challenges facing organizations today. This lesson will help you understand the challenges of costs in the cloud and give you some tools to help you manage those costs.

Cloud Performance and Optimization

Performance and cloud resources are closely related to costs and resource allocation. In this lesson, we will explore ways to utilize AWS services to optimize performance.

Serverless Computing

Serverless computing is an architecture model where a cloud provider offers scalable, flexible, and low-cost backend services as needed.

Infrastructure as Code

Defining your infrastructure in code reduces error and effort by providing a visual representation of your cloud services in code that can be run to create, modify, and destroy infrastructure

Design, Provision and Monitor AWS Infrastructure at Scale

In this project, you will plan, design, provision, and monitor infrastructure in AWS using industry-standard and open source tools.

Introduction to Designing for Security

The who, what, when, and why of Designing for Security in the cloud.

Securing Access to Cloud Services

After this lesson, you will be able to secure access for both AWS users and applications, apply security best practices such as identity federation, and fine tune least privilege access permissions.

Securing Access to Cloud Infrastructure

After this lesson, you will be able to access cloud resources securely, protect against data exfiltration, ensure compliance, and configure VPC endpoints to keep traffic within your VPC.

Protecting Data Stored in the Cloud

Our goal is to minimize the risk of a malicious actor accessing our networks and servers, invoke the AWS API, and, ultimately, perform destructive or unauthorized actions in our environments.

Defensive Security in the Cloud

You will identify vulnerable misconfigurations, guard against malicious activity, and design a deployment pipeline that ensures that security practices are implemented early on.

Project: Secure the Recipe Vault Web Application

In this project, you'll put everything you learned in the course to secure a web application.
