– Determine strategies for a layered security approach to Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) subnets.
– Identify strategies to select the appropriate compute resources based on business use-cases.
– Practice building a VPC and adding an Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) instance in a lab environment.
– Practice installing an Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) instance and an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in the VPC you created.
– Compare and contrast AWS storage products and services, based on business scenarios.
– Compare and contrast the different types of AWS database services based on business needs.
– Practice building a highly available, auto-scaling database layer in a lab.
– Explore the business value of AWS monitoring solutions.
– Identify the role of monitoring, event driven load balancing, and auto scaling responses, based on usage and needs.
– Identify and discuss AWS automation tools that will help you build, maintain and evolve your infrastructure.
– Discuss network peering, VPC endpoints, gateway and routing solutions based on use-cases.
– Discuss hybrid networking configurations to extend and secure your infrastructure.
– Discuss the benefits of microservices as an effective decoupling strategy to power highly available applications at scale.
– Explore AWS container services for the rapid implementation of an infrastructure-agnostic, portable application environment.
– Identify the business and security benefits of AWS serverless services based on business examples.
– Practice building a serverless infrastructure in a lab environment.
– Discuss the ways in which AWS edge services address latency and security.
– Practice building a CloudFront deployment with an S3 backend in a lab environment.
– Explore AWS backup, recovery solutions, and best practices to ensure resiliency and business continuity.
– Build a highly available and secure cloud architecture based on a business problem, in a project-based facilitator-guided lab.
