The AWS Well-Architected Framework was designed to help architects build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure for their applications. The framework is comprised of five pillars: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization. In this course, designed as part of a six-part series covering the AWS Well-Architected Framework, take a deeper look at the third pillar: reliability. Discover the purpose and place of the reliability pillar, plus key AWS reliability services such as CloudWatch. Learn about designing reliable infrastructure with Availability Zones, load balancing (ELB), and DNS (Route 53). Along the way, review demonstrations of real-world challenges and see how to implement key services to prevent—and recover from—failures.

Take a deeper look at the second pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework: security.

Learn strategies for optimizing, automating, and auto-scaling processes. Get some guidance around how to control costs while successfully managing cloud operations using AWS.

Learn how to use Amazon Web Services (AWS) tools and best practices to understand, forecast, and control service costs. This course covers core AWS tools, such as CloudWatch billing alarms, consolidated billing with AWS Organizations, and the AWS billing dashboard tools. Instructor Lynn Langit shows how to control costs through key services, such as EC2, S3, RDS, and more. She also reviews architectural decisions related to cost control drawn from her own professional experiences.

As more and more organizations move their workloads and resources to the AWS cloud for its speed, elasticity, and flexible pricing options, it’s more important than ever to optimize processes to avoid extra costs and a heavy burden on resources. In this course, Shyam Raj provides guidance around controlling cloud costs and optimizing performance of apps in AWS. Shyam begins by discussing cost optimization strategies and best practices for improving resource performance. He then showcases AWS services designed to help monitor costs and those designed to help reduce cost by optimizing performance, covering AWS tools like AWS Budgets, Trusted Advisor, and Compute Optimizer. This course also covers the knowledge needed for anyone who is preparing for the corresponding domain of the AWS SysOps Administrator certification exam (SOA-C02).

Learn how to build out a highly available, resilient environment for your applications using the tools in Amazon Web Services, including Route 53, Auto Scaling, RDS, ElastiCache, and more.

Take an intermediate-level look at monitoring and reporting for the AWS platform. Learn how to work with CloudWatch, AWS Config, AWS Lambda, and more.

As organizations increasingly move their workloads to the AWS cloud to take advantage of its speed, elasticity, and flexible pricing, it is more important than ever to continuously monitor your applications and workloads, and react to changes, to maintain a fault-tolerant and highly available ecosystem. In this course, Shyam Raj provides system administrators with a look at how to successfully monitor resources and applications and how to remediate problems that may arise. Shyam includes heavy coverage of AWS monitoring services, including CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and AWS Config. He explains how to navigate the dashboards of these services to view metrics, monitor performance, and configure resource limits. This course can also be used to prep for the corresponding domain of the AWS Certified SysOps Admin exam.

Adopting a cloud infrastructure strategy includes configuring a network that meets the needs of your organization. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cost-reducing solution that provides tools so you can build a data center with secure cloud networking technology. This course offers advice for technical managers and step-by-step instructions for system administrators and full-stack engineers.
