SEC 326 Cloud Architecture, Reliability & Economics

Cloud Architecture, Reliability & Economics course provides a broad overview of the set of global cloud-based products within the AWS environment.  This course will discuss cloud fundamental resources such as compute, storage, databases, analytics, networking, management tools, and security.  This course will discuss the various use cases including enterprise solutions, start-ups, small and medium-sized businesses, and customers in the public sector.  This course will also provide the student with a definition of AWS services, networking, storage, database and analytics the demonstrate AWS Cloud benefits. This course will also discuss the key concepts, design principles, and architectural best practices for designing and running workloads in the cloud. By answering a set of foundational questions, students will learn how to provide an architecture that aligns with cloud best practices and are provided guidance for making improvements.  AWS Architecture Design helps students to design cloud architects that are secure, high performing, resilient, and efficient.  Based on the AWS five pillars — operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization — students will be able to design and evaluate AWS architectures that can scale over time. The student should exit the course with a firm understanding of the various AWS building blocks needed to respond quickly to changing business requirements and drive to cloud.
