Presentation
The AWS Well-Architected Framework is an essential guide for architects and engineers designing and operating reliable, secure, high-performance, cost-optimised and sustainable systems in the AWS cloud. Drawing on best practices and proven design principles, it supports informed decisions from the design stage throughout the application lifecycle. It provides a structured approach to assessing and improving the quality of your cloud architectures, identifying risks and proposing effective mitigation strategies.
This one-day, intermediate-level course introduces how the framework and its 5 pillars work. Through presentations, case studies and hands-on labs, you will explore each pillar's design principles and learn how to apply them. You will also learn to use the AWS Well-Architected Tool to conduct effective architecture reviews.
By the end of this AWS course, you will be able to identify the features and common uses of AWS Well-Architected. You will develop the ability to apply its principles, key services and best practices for each pillar. This expertise will help you conduct thorough architecture reviews and continuously optimise your cloud solutions.
