Course
DevOps Engineering on AWS with JAM – Intensive Training («AWSS2J»)
AWSS02
Course facts
- Assimilating and leveraging the AWS shared security responsibility model
- Architecting and building AWS application infrastructures that are protected against the most common security threats
- Protecting data at rest and in transit with encryption
- Applying security checks and analyses in an automated and reproducible manner
- Configuring authentication for resources and applications in the AWS Cloud
- Gaining insight into events by capturing, monitoring, processing, and analyzing logs
- Identifying and mitigating incoming threats against applications and data
- Performing security assessments to ensure that common vulnerabilities are patched and security best practices are applied
AWS JAM Day will be featured on the final, 4th day of this course, as a gamified event where you will be split into teams to compete in a series of best practice challenges based on concepts covered in the course. In addition to the hands-on labs of the ILT courses, an additional day of curated and instructor-facilitated challenges allows learners to use AWS Jam to address real-world scenarios, representing common operational and troubleshooting tasks relevant for your job role.
You will be able to apply your knowledge in a safe and real AWS environment and score points if you solve the challenge correctly. The aim of an AWS Jam is to develop, improve, and validate your skills in the AWS cloud and get ready to use your practical skills when you are back on your daily job.

Voice of the Instructor
Welcome to the exciting world of AWS DevOps! This transformative journey starts by immersing you into the concept of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with AWS CloudFormation. We'll extend that knowledge with AWS CDK and AWS SAM in later chapters. These powerful tools expedite infrastructure deployment and management through reliable, repeatable processes, laying a strong foundation for your DevOps endeavors. Building on that, we venture into AWS CodeSuite, including AWS CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline, and CodeStar. This suite forms the backbone of your DevOps workflow, fueling efficient code compilation, automated deployments, and seamless integration and delivery processes.
From the beginning of the course, we will be discussing the world of microservices and containerization. You'll unravel the role of microservices in modern architectural practices and how they solve complex business challenges with the help of DevOps methodologies. Complementing this knowledge, you'll familiarize yourself with containerization using Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), understanding their profound impact on software development practices and DevOps methodologies.
Finally, we'll hone in on security, the bedrock of all operations in AWS. We will demonstrate the importance of AWS IAM, helping you understand its vital role in controlling access to AWS resources. Complementing this, we will spend some time understanding AWS Config and AWS CloudTrail, tools that enhance your ability to audit, monitor, and automate your resource compliance.
In essence, this course is not merely about learning tools and practices. It's about shifting the way you think about software development and operations. It's about emboldening you to create faster, better, and more secure applications through the power of automation, collaboration, and a culture of continuous improvement. Welcome aboard! We, the instructors, are eager to spend three exciting days with you, helping you get the most out of this course.
