Learn how automated backups work across AWS services, including EBS volumes and databases, schedule incremental snapshots with cron, and manage storage in S3 buckets while considering performance impact and retention.
activate the storage gateway, create and map a file share to an s3 bucket, enabling on-premises clients to write data via smb or nfs as s3 objects.
Configure on-premises data storage using the stored volume architecture, mounting volumes as iSCSI devices via a storage gateway and synchronously backing data and snapshots to cloud storage.
Reduce compute costs and guarantee capacity with Amazon EC2 reserved instances, offering up to 75 percent discount with standard, convertible, or scheduled reservations for one- or three-year terms.
This section introduces three main topics, covering elastic beanstalk, opsworks, and cloud formation, with a focus on a configuration management solution and deploying a sample php application.
Convert traditional infrastructure into code with CloudFormation templates in JSON or YAML, deploying stacks of resources. Manage resources, parameters, and outputs; control dependencies; and enable versioned updates and safe rollbacks.
Explore how a VPC acts as a private data center in the cloud. Gain control over resources, IP addressing, traffic, NAT, and gateways across public and private subnets.
Examine private, public, and elastic IP addressing in AWS. Private IPs enable internal communication; public IPs expose instances to the internet; elastic IPs are static and controllable, reallocatable as needed.
Understand how the default VPC automatically provides an internet gateway and IP addresses, while the non-default VPC requires manual setup and private IP addressing.
Configure custom AWS network ACLs by defining inbound and outbound rules in ascending order, applying them to subnets, and distinguishing them from security groups that apply to instances.
Compare AWS CloudTrail and Amazon CloudWatch, showing Amazon CloudWatch's performance monitoring, metrics, alarms, and automated actions, and AWS CloudTrail's API activity auditing and event history.
Learn to create CloudWatch alarms triggered by CloudTrail events, configuring log streams and metric filters to notify you of security group changes.
Explore the difference between elasticity and scalability: elasticity automatically grows or shrinks resources in response to demand, while scalability increases capacity long-term by scaling up or out.
Begin with foundational concepts for advanced architecting on AWS, outline routing policies in business architecture, and explain their relevance and implementation, followed by extensive hands-on lab sessions.
Understand the domain name system that translates names to IPs using authoritative DNS servers. See how DNS routes traffic to AWS resources, supports domain registration, health checks, and failover.
Explore the six routing policies for Route 53, learn their definitions, and see how they respond to queries for record sets in host zones and production environments.
Demonstrate AWS Route 53 simple routing policy by mapping a domain to a single resource, such as an IP address or load balancer, in a two-region lab.
Review Route 53 concepts, including DNS service, domain registration, health checks, and routing policies like simple, weighted, latency-based, failover, geolocation, and time-based routing.
Learn how Route 53 DNS translates domain names to IPs, registers domains, and uses health checks with latency, geolocation, and failover routing to guide multi-region traffic.
This course is the ultimate guide for you to learn 'Advanced Architecting on AWS' and eventually prepare you for AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional exam, which is considered one of the toughest among all AWS certifications till date.
Why become AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional?
Despite the wealth of knowledge you attain by passing the AWS Solutions Architect - Associate certification, it does not really challenge your ability to build scalable, highly available, fault tolerant, secure, automatable and repeatable solutions. However, the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional, on the other hand, tests these skills in depth. For anyone who has started a career in AWS, this is a must have certificate at some point in time, for the following reasons:
It will deepen your understanding of various AWS services, how they work together in resilient architectures.
It will sharpen your architecting skills by leading you think from different perspectives, and consider many things in your architecture.
It will also lead you to the next level in your AWS architect career.
It will give your profile an extra edge in today's job market where there are a lot of associate level certified individuals, but there are very few people with professional level knowledge and certification both.
In this course, you will build on concepts introduced in Architecting on AWS. You will learn how to build complex solutions that incorporate data services, governance, and security on the AWS platform. You will also learn about specialized AWS services, including AWS Direct Connect and AWS Storage Gateway, that support hybrid architecture, and you will learn about best practices for building scalable, elastic, secure, and highly available applications on AWS.
In this course, you will learn how to:
Apply the AWS Well-Architected Framework
Manage multiple AWS accounts for your organization
Connect an on-premises datacenter to the AWS Cloud
Discuss billing implications of connecting multi-region VPCs
Move large data from an on-premises datacenter to AWS
Design large data stores for the AWS Cloud
Understand different architectural designs for scaling a large website
Protect your infrastructure from distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks
Secure your data on AWS with encryption
Design protection of data at rest and data in transit
Enhance the performance of your solutions
Select the most appropriate AWS deployment mechanism
"Strongly recommended. More effective than many courses ten times the price."
Here's what some existing students had to say about my course-
Binit Datta: "This is a superb effort by Rohan! Attempting this at the heart of the AWS Cloud computing deserves kudos to the Instructor. If you want to really learn AWS deeply, this is your one stop shop."
Gustavo Tavares: " Very Good course with with kind of details that explain some problems that experienced professional had in the past but do not became sure why. The instructor provide detailed explanations and a lot of good tips for the certification exam."
Jose Floresca Jr.: "This course is short but very comprehensive at the same time. This is what most busy professionals can only ask for."
Anthony Wieczorek: "I was very happy with the material. I just missed my first AWS Associate test and this class is filing in all the blanks that I was unsure of. Super happy I found it."
This is simply the best, most comprehensive and comprehensible course that will help you build on concepts you gained from CSA Associate, and eventually prepare you to pass your AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional exam -- on your first try!
