Presentation
Networking on AWS is fundamental to any cloud application and requires precise design and optimisation expertise. This one-day course gives you a comprehensive understanding of networking concepts and services in Amazon Web Services. It is designed to give network engineers and architects, whether new or experienced, the knowledge and skills to build robust, high-performance network infrastructure.
This intermediate-level programme guides you through AWS networking fundamentals, from IP addressing to VPCs and subnets. You will explore load balancing, automatic scaling and VPC interconnectivity, along with content delivery through edge locations and Route 53. Each module is reinforced by practical labs based on a concrete use case, allowing direct application of the concepts.
By the end of this AWS course, you will be able to design and configure scalable, resilient network infrastructure for production applications on AWS. You will know how to implement best practices aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
