Are you unclear about how to best work with the messaging, queueing, and workflow services offered by AWS? If so, this course can help. Join Jeremy Villeneuve as he shines a spotlight on three key AWS services—Simple Workflow Service (SWF), Simple Queue Service (SQS), and Simple Notification Service (SNS)—and how they can help you effectively handle complex workflows. Since each service was designed to address a specific methodology of the messaging/queueing/workflow model, Jeremy spells out the key differences in methodologies so you can ensure you're using the right tool for the right job. Along the way, get hands-on experience with SQS and SNS, and learn how to refactor an existing application that tracks user state within a database table to a workflow model provided by SWF.

AWS Security Hub—a security dashboard and insights tool from Amazon—provides users with a one-stop dashboard from which they can monitor their deployment for common security issues, including vulnerable services and publicly available S3 buckets. Security Hub provides a convenient and flexible search tool to filter issue types, and identifies fixes that need to be applied to resources. Amazon is currently allowing users to take this powerful tool out for a spin as a preview. In this course, Scott Simpson provides a first look at Security Hub, helping to acquaint you with the tool before it officially joins the AWS suite. Learn about the main features of Security Hub, as well as how it can help you gain new insights and resolve security problems.

The AWS Well-Architected Framework helps architects build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructures for their applications through five pillars. This course takes an in-depth look at the cost optimization pillar. Instructor Mark Wilkins reviews how to use cost optimization with the design properties of the cost optimization pillar, then goes into key financial management concepts. He explores budgeting and forecasting tools for cloud costs. He shows you how to monitor cost, usage, and the decommissioning of resources, then offers information on how to choose a pricing model. Mark goes over how to manage costs using the Billing and Cost Management dashboard. He also discusses the challenge of changing your design as new features and abilities are provided over time, then shows you how to match supply and demand. Plus, he provides a demo in which he uses the Well-Architected Tool to answer cost optimization pillar questions.

Take a deeper look at the first pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework: operational excellence.

The AWS Well-Architected Framework includes strategies to help enterprise architects compare workloads against AWS-identified best practices. It is designed to help architects build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure for their applications and comprises five pillars: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization. In this course, Mark Wilkins takes an in-depth look at the fifth pillar, performance efficiency. Mark covers the different computing resources—including compute, storage, database, and network—and shows how to optimize performance for each. He also illustrates the importance of fine-tuning performance to maintain efficiency over time. This course is designed to work in conjunction with the remaining courses in the path, and while Mark covers some topics that were detailed in the other pillars, in this course he looks at these topics specifically from the viewpoint of efficiency.
