Why Choose This Course
Architecting on AWS is an intermediate-level training course that teaches professionals how to design secure, resilient, high-performing, and cost-optimized architectures on AWS. This course focuses on applying the AWS Well-Architected Framework and best practices to build solutions that meet business and technical requirements.
Throughout the course, learners explore AWS services for networking, compute, storage, databases, monitoring, automation, containers, serverless architecture, edge services, and backup and recovery. You will learn how to make architectural decisions based on AWS principles, design multi-tier architectures, and implement strategies for scalability and security.
This training is ideal for solutions architects, engineers, and technical professionals who want to deepen their understanding of AWS architecture and prepare for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate certification. The course combines theory with hands-on labs, enabling participants to practice building architectures that align with real-world scenarios.
By the end of the course, you will be able to design architectures that are secure, resilient, and optimized for performance and cost. 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
- Individuals performing a solutions architect role who want to validate their ability to design and review AWS architectures.
- Professionals with AWS Cloud or strong on‑premises IT experience seeking an exam‑aligned training course
