AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03)

Architecture from the ground up

This intermediate Packt course on Coursera is built around cloud architecture for the SAA-C03 exam. It is described as a way to gain hands-on experience with AWS while learning how to design cloud systems and their security, so it blends concept teaching with practical work.

Who it suits

Learners who have used AWS a little and want a structured route to the Associate certification will find it a good fit. The intermediate label signals that it expects some existing familiarity with cloud services.

Practical points

• Set up an account where you can repeat the exercises.
• Keep track of which design decisions you would change after each lab, since that reflection is where most of the learning happens.
