Course Overview

thinQtank® Learning is offering a unique three-day training camp comprised of three days of intense instructor-led learning for Architecting AWS Enterprise Solutions. As with all our AWS Training Experiences - exams are delivered in the classroom. Through a series of use case scenarios and practical learning, learners learn to identify services and features to build resilient, secure, and highly available IT solutions in the AWS Cloud. Our expert AWS Instructors emphasize best practices using the AWS Well-Architected Framework and guide learners through the process of designing optimal IT solutions, based on real-life scenarios. At the end of the course, learners practice building a solution and apply what is learned with confidence.

Architecting on AWS is for solutions architects, solution-design engineers, and developers seeking an understanding of AWS architecting. In this course, you will learn to identify services and features to build resilient, secure, and highly available IT solutions on the AWS Cloud.

Architectural solutions differ depending on industry, types of applications, and business size. AWS Authorized Instructors emphasize best practices using the AWS Well-Architected Framework and guide you through the process of designing optimal IT solutions, based on real-life scenarios. The modules focus on account security, networking, compute, storage, databases, monitoring, automation, containers, serverless architecture, edge services, and backup and recovery. At the end of the course, you will practice building a solution and apply what you have learned with confidence. This course shows learners the fundamentals of building IT infrastructure on the AWS platform. Learners learn how to optimize the AWS Cloud by understanding AWS services and how they fit into cloud-based solutions. They explore best practices and design patterns to help architect optimal IT solutions on AWS, then build and explore a variety of infrastructures through guided, hands-on activity. Learners learn how to create fledgling architectures and build them into robust and adaptive solutions.
