Architecting on AWS covers the fundamentals of building IT infrastructure on AWS. The course is designed to teach  solutions architects how to optimize the use of the AWS Cloud by understanding AWS services and how these services fit  into cloud-based solutions. Because architectural solutions may differ depending on industry, type of applications, and size  of business, this course emphasizes AWS Cloud best practices and recommended design patterns to help students think  through the process of architecting optimal IT solutions on AWS. It also presents case studies throughout the course that  showcase how some AWS customers have designed their infrastructures and the strategies and services they implemented.  Opportunities to build a variety of infrastructures via a guided, hands-on approach are also provided.
