Why Choose This Course
Architecting on AWS Course is an intermediate training designed for professionals who want to learn, prepare and apply proven architecture patterns on Amazon Web Services. Using real‑world scenarios and the AWS Well‑Architected Framework, the course builds the skills to design secure, resilient, high‑performing and cost‑optimised solutions across account security, networking, compute, storage, databases, monitoring, automation, containers, serverless and edge services. The learning experience blends guided instruction with hands‑on practice so you can compare service options, make sound design decisions and implement best practices in environments of different sizes and complexity.
You will work through structured use cases that mirror common workloads in Australia’s public and private sectors, exploring trade‑offs such as multi‑AZ versus multi‑Region design, database selection for read‑intensive versus write‑intensive patterns, and storage tiers for performance and cost. The course helps you articulate architecture choices to stakeholders, align designs to business requirements, and prepare for role‑based certification pathways. Whether you are moving on from foundational AWS training or upskilling for a solutions architect role, Architecting on AWS provides exam‑aligned content, practical labs and design reviews that build confidence to plan and operate cloud solutions responsibly. A certificate of course attendance is included.

Skills Gained
Apply the AWS Well‑Architected Framework to design decisions across security, reliability, performance, cost, and sustainability.
Define multi‑account and identity strategies using IAM, policies, and guardrails for secure access.
Design VPC architectures with subnets, routing, gateways, endpoints, and network segmentation.
Select appropriate compute options (EC2, Auto Scaling, containers, serverless) based on workload characteristics.
Compare storage services (S3, EBS, EFS) and implement lifecycle, encryption, and durability strategies.
Choose relational and non‑relational databases (RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB) with caching and read‑replica patterns.
Implement high availability and fault tolerance using load balancing, Route 53, multi‑AZ, and multi‑Region approaches.
Configure observability with CloudWatch metrics, logs, and alarms, and trace distributed applications.
Use automation and infrastructure‑as‑code concepts to build and evolve environments consistently.
Plan disaster recovery with backup and restore, pilot light, warm standby, and multi‑site patterns.
Optimise cost using right‑sizing, purchasing options, and storage tiering while maintaining performance.
Evaluate edge and content delivery options (CloudFront, Global Accelerator) to address latency and security.
Audience
