AWS Architecting Training Overview

This Advanced Architecting on AWS training builds on concepts introduced in the introductory Architecting on AWS course. Attendees learn how to manage multiple AWS accounts and manage hybrid connectivity, devices, networking, container services, automation tools for continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), security and distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection, data lakes, data stores, edge services, migration options, and costs.

Accelebrate is an AWS Training Partner (ATP) and this hands-on official AWS Classroom Training course is taught by an accredited Amazon Authorized Instructor (AAI).

  • Examine how the AWS developer tools optimize the CI/CD pipeline with updates based on nearreal-time data
  • Identify the anomaly detection and protection services that AWS offers to defend against DDoS attacks
  • Identify ways to secure data in transit, at rest, and in use with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) and AWS Secrets Manager
  • Determine the best data management solution based on frequency of access, and data query and analysis needs
  • Set up a data lake and examine the advantages of this type of storage configuration to crawl and query data in a lab environment
  • Identify solutions to optimize edge services to eliminate latency, reduce inefficiencies, and mitigate risks
  • Identify the components used to automate the scaling of global applications using geolocation and traffic control
  • Deploy and activate an AWS Storage Gateway file gateway and AWS DataSync in a lab environment
  • Review AWS cost management tools to optimize costs while ensuring speed and performance
