Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

The AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate examination is intended for individuals who perform a solutions architect role and have one or more years of hands-on experience designing available, cost-efficient, fault-tolerant, and scalable distributed systems on AWS. In this course, you’re going to learn how to get started with AWS as a solutions architect so you can pass the exam and officially get certified.

In this practical, hands-on course, the main objective is to provide you education on not just understanding the ins and outs of AWS, but also on how you can apply what you learn to real world scenarios. Blending practical work with solid theoretical training, from the basics of AWS to mastery, you will get the training you need to get certified as a solutions architect. The theory is important to build a solid foundation, however theory alone isn’t going to get the job done so that’s why this course is packed with practical hands-on examples that you can follow step by step.

By the end of this course, you’ll be well-equipped with knowledge about the major components of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and you’ll master how to design secure and robust solutions using AWS technologies. Get ready to see your dreams come true!
