Presentation
Adopting effective AWS architectural practices is crucial to building and operating reliable, secure, efficient and cost-effective cloud solutions. It enables systems to adapt to changing requirements, scale effectively and minimise risks. Following best practices helps you optimise workloads, improve operational excellence and make informed technology investment decisions.
This advanced one-day course develops practical mastery of the AWS Well-Architected Framework and its application. Gain an in-depth understanding of the review process, from preparation to follow-up. Through practical exercises and group discussions, learn to identify high- and medium-risk issues and propose effective solutions using the AWS Well-Architected Tool.
By the end of the course, you will have the expertise to conduct comprehensive AWS Well-Architected reviews and improve AWS architectures. Master best practices for each Framework pillar and use AWS resources and partner programs effectively to optimise cloud solutions.
