Architecting Solutions on AWS

Thinking like a solutions architect

This intermediate course is for people who want to move closer to technical cloud work and are preparing for the Solutions Architect Associate exam. It is organised around the question of how to match a customer's requirements to the right AWS services, a skill that consultants and architects use every day.

What it covers

The skills listed include serverless computing, cloud solution architecture, software and IT security architecture, hybrid cloud, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3 and Kinesis. Together they give a picture of the choices a solutions architect has to justify to a client.

Good for

• Cloud consultants who need to understand the design side of a project.
• Engineers who want a structured way to think about trade-offs before the exam.
