Course Description

The AWS exam guide outlines that 60% of the Solutions Architect–Associate exam questions could be on the topic of designing highly-available, fault-tolerant, cost-efficient, scalable systems. This course teaches you to recognize and explain the core architecture principles of high availability, fault tolerance, and cost optimization. We then step through the core AWS components that can enable highly available solutions when used together so you can recognize and explain how to design and monitor highly available, cost efficient, fault tolerant, scalable systems.

Course Objectives

Identify and recognize cloud architecture considerations such as functional components and effective designs
Define best practices for planning, designing, and monitoring in the cloud
Develop to client specifications, including pricing and cost
Evaluate architectural trade-off decisions when building for the cloud
Apply best practices for elasticity and scalability concepts to your builds
Integrate with existing development environments
