AWS Well-Architected Best Practices – Intensive Training («AWSE08»)

• Identifying the Well-Architected Framework features, design principles, design pillars, and common uses
• Applying the design principles, key services, and best practices for each pillar of the WellArchitected Framework
• Using the Well-Architected Tool to conduct Well-Architected Reviews

The Well-Architected Framework enables you to make informed decisions about your customers architectures in a cloud-native way and understand the impact of design decisions that are made. By using the Well-Architected Framework, you will understand the risks in your architecture and ways to mitigate them.

Voice of the Instructor

1. Comprehensive overview of the AWS Well-Architected Framework's key principles and best practices, allowing attendees to gain a deep understanding of the various pillars of the framework, including security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and operational excellence. This knowledge enables participants to design architectures that meet specific requirements and industry standards.
2. Enhance Architecture design skills to design architectures that leverage AWS services, design patterns, and reference architectures to build secure, scalable, and highly available solutions. The course emphasizes the importance of incorporating fault tolerance, elasticity, and automation into architectural designs to optimize performance and ensure high availability.
3. Understanding and implementing Risk Mitigation best practices as outlined in the AWS Well-Architected Framework. Lower the risks associated with cloud deployments by deploying security controls, risk assessment methodologies, and compliance considerations to proactively identify and address potential hazards, ensuring data and resources' confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
4. Learning Performance Optimization strategies tailored for AWS cloud environments. Participants learn how to select the right AWS services, employ effective monitoring and logging practices, and leverage automation tools for efficient resource utilization. By implementing these best practices, attendees can optimize system performance, reduce latency, and enhance user experience.
5. Cost Efficiency: Attending the course enables individuals to design cost-effective architectures and optimize resource utilization. Participants gain insights into AWS cost management tools, such as AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Trusted Advisor, and learn techniques to control costs, implement cost allocation strategies, and identify cost optimization opportunities. This knowledge helps organizations maximize their return on investment and optimize cloud expenditure.
