Architecting on AWS

Cloud architectures are the foundation of every reliable digital solution. This training course gives you a solid grounding in scalable, secure, and efficient cloud structures built on current AWS standards – combining architectural stability with the flexibility to meet future demands.

Key topics

  • Designing and implementing scalable, highly available AWS architectures.
  • Applying security and governance models in AWS environments.
  • Using cost and performance optimisation techniques effectively.
  • Integrating AI-powered and data-driven services into cloud environments.
  • Carrying out modern cloud migrations in a structured and secure way.

Prerequisite
Participants with a basic background in IT infrastructure or networking can jump straight in – some prior exposure to cloud concepts makes getting started easier.

Target group
This course is designed for anyone involved in designing, building, or evolving cloud infrastructure – from cloud engineers and system architects to technical project leads.

With the architectural principles gained in this training, you will approach cloud decisions with confidence and build AWS solutions that remain stable even as requirements grow.
