Course description
DevOps Engineering on AWS teaches you how to use the combination of DevOps cultural philosophies, practices, and tools to increase your organization’s ability to develop, deliver, and maintain applications and services at high velocity on AWS. This course covers Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Delivery (CD), infrastructure as code, microservices, monitoring and logging, and communication and collaboration. Hands-on labs give you experience building and deploying AWS CloudFormation templates and CI/CD pipelines that build and deploy applications on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), serverless applications, and container-based applications. Labs for multi-pipeline workflows and pipelines that deploy to multiple environments are also included.
The final day is an AWS Jam, a gamified event, with teams competing to score points by completing a series of challenges according to established best practices based on concepts covered in the course. You get to experience a wide range of AWS services in a series of real-world scenarios that represent common operational and troubleshooting tasks. The end result is developing, enhancing, and validating your skillsets in the AWS Cloud through real-world problem solving, exploring new services, features, and understanding how they interoperate.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
In this course, you will learn to:
Use DevOps best practices to develop, deliver, and maintain applications and services at high velocity on AW
List the advantages, roles and responsibilities of small autonomous DevOps teams
Design and implement an infrastructure on AWS that supports DevOps development projects
Leverage AWS Cloud9 to write, run and debug your code
Deploy various environments with AWS CloudFormation
Host secure, highly scalable, and private Git repositories with AWS CodeCommit
Integrate Git repositories into CI/CD pipelines
Automate build, test, and packaging code with AWS CodeBuild
Securely store and leverage Docker images and integrate them into your CI/CD pipelines
Build CI/CD pipelines to deploy applications on Amazon EC2, serverless applications, and container-based applications
Implement common deployment strategies such as “all at once,” “rolling,” and “blue/green”
Integrate testing and security into CI/CD pipelines
Monitor applications and environments using AWS tools and technologies
Work in a team environment to solve real AWS use-case challenges in an AWS Jam

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Architecting on AWS is for solutions architects, solution-design engineers, and developers seeking an understanding of AWS architecting. In this course, you will learn to identify services and features to build resilient, secure and highly available IT solutions on the AWS Cloud.
Architectural solutions differ depending on the industry, types of applications, and business size. AWS Authorized Instructors emphasize best practices using the AWS Well-Architected Framework, and guide you through the process of designing optimal IT solutions, based on real-life scenarios. The modules focus on account security, networking, compute, storage, databases, monitoring, automation, containers, serverless architecture, edge services, and backup and recovery. At the end of the course, you will practice building a solution and apply what you have learned with confidence.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
In this course, you will learn to:
Identify AWS architecting basic practices.
Explore using the AWS management tools: The AWS Console, Command Line Interface (CLI), and CloudFormation in a lab environment.
Examine the enforcement of accounts security using policies.
Identify the elements that build an elastic, secure, virtual network that includes private and public subnets.
Practice building an AWS core networking infrastructure.
Determine strategies for a layered security approach to Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) subnets.
Identify strategies to select the appropriate compute resources based on business use-cases.
Practice building a VPC and adding an Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) instance in a lab environment.
