Hello, my name is Will Meadows and in this course, we are going to cover a few of the more advanced topics within API Gateway that can help take your architectures to the next level. API Gateway is a powerful tool that can provide security, dependability, and flexibility to many designs and applications.

If you have any questions about anything I cover in this series please let me know at will.meadows@cloudacademy.com. 

Alternatively, you can always get in touch with us here at Cloud Academy by sending an email to support@cloudacademy.com and one of our cloud experts will reply to your question, concern, or comment. 

I would recommend this course for any solutions architects, developers, or generally curious people, who are interested in learning a deeper dive on API Gateway.

Our learning objectives for this course are: to understand the lifecycle of a request within API Gateway, and what actions we can perform at each stage.

Additionally, you will learn how to secure your API Gateway using AWS WAF, CORS, and Mutual TLS.

Finally, you will learn about private integration and how you can access custom backend services that use EC2, EKS, and ECS.

You should have a decent understanding of cloud computing and cloud architectures, specifically with Amazon Web Services.

You should already have basic knowledge about API Gateway and some of its primary features. Additionally, you should be familiar with AWS WAF, CORS, and TLS.
