AWS Architect Learning Plan

AWS Lambda Foundations

AWS Lambda is an event-driven, serverless compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. This course focuses on what you need to start building Lambda functions and serverless applications. You learn how AWS Lambda works and how to write and configure Lambda functions. You explore deployment and testing considerations and finally end with a discussion on monitoring and troubleshooting Lambda functions.

Introduction to Step Functions

AWS Step Functions is a low-code visual workflow service used to orchestrate Amazon Web Services (AWS) services, automate business processes, and build serverless applications. This course introduces the key components of Step Functions to help you get started managing workflows within an application.

Getting Started with AWS CloudFormation

AWS CloudFormation gives you a way to model a collection of related AWS and third-party resources, provision them quickly and consistently, and manage them throughout their lifecycles. In this Getting Started course, you will learn the basics of CloudFormation and how to use it to manage your infrastructure.

AWS Technical Essentials

AWS Technical Essentials introduces you to essential Amazon Web Services and common solutions. The course covers the fundamental AWS concepts related to compute, database, storage, networking, monitoring, and security. You will start working in AWS through hands-on course experiences. The course covers the concepts necessary to increase your understanding of AWS services, so that you can make informed decisions about solutions that meet business requirements. Throughout the course, you will gain information on how to build, compare, and apply highly available, fault tolerant, scalable, and cost-effective cloud solutions.

AWS Networking Basics

This course focuses on an introduction to AWS Networking. As a fundamental level course, it will provide an overview of available network services and common use cases using these services.

Subnets, Gateways, and Route Tables Explained

In this course, we will use sample three-tiered architecture to better understand how certain network components can help you effectively network your application. We review the differences between public and private subnets and discuss how gateways and route tables can be used for network routing.

AWS Network Connectivity Options

This course is for individuals who seek knowledge of networking on Amazon Web Services (AWS) beyond the foundational level. You will learn about various connectivity options, including how to choose the best way to create a secure, scalable, and highly available network. You will analyze complex network design patterns and learn best practices that are ideal for your organization.

Amazon RDS Service Primer

This course introduces you to Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) and its core features and capabilities. The course describes how this service integrates with other AWS services, introduces important terminology and technology concepts, and includes a demonstration of the service.

Introduction to Database Migration

In this course, you will learn how to migrate a production database using the AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) and AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT). You will be introduced to the full database migration process, from envisioning to post-production support. AWS DMS helps you migrate data to AWS from common databases quickly and securely, all while remaining operational to minimize application downtime. AWS SCT lets you modernize applications by migrating your schema and applications to a cloud database like Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL.

AWS Foundations: Cost Management

In this course, you learn about Cloud Financial Management, a set of Activities that allows you to successfully manage, optimize, and plan cloud costs. You learn about the six capabilities that are essential for your organization's Cloud Financial Management journey and the outcomes it helps your organization achieve. Finally, you learn how to baseline and assess your maturity against these capabilities and use them to build your organization's Cloud Financial Management roadmap.

AWS Compute Services Overview

Compute services are the backbone that power most web-based applications. They are the foundation on which many Amazon Web Services (AWS) offerings are built. This course provides a high-level overview of the three main categories of compute services on AWS:
•Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
•Containers, which include Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)
•Serverless (AWS Lambda) This course includes a use case scenario to help you learn how to differentiate between the different compute options and how to select the best compute option for a given workload.

Introduction to AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)

In this course, you will be introduced to AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). The course will highlight how IAM can be used for authentication and authorization to AWS services. Discussions around IAM policies and roles will also be included, as well as potential use cases for the service. The course will wrap up with a demonstration on how to create an IAM group and user, attach a policy and add a user to a group.

Differences Between Security Groups and NACLs

This is an introductory course on the differences between security groups and NACLs, or Network Access Control Lists. In this course, we discuss how to secure the networking of your applications in AWS by using these two resources. We also review concepts like stateless and stateful to help you more effectively control traffic flow to and from your application.

Protecting Your Instance with Security Groups

In this introductory video, we review how to secure access to your individual instances within AWS. We also explain how to use security groups to control permission and authorize traffic based on the source, defined as IP range, protocol and port.

Getting Started with AWS Security, Identity, and Compliance

This course provides an overview of AWS security technology, use cases, benefits, and services. The course introduces various services in the AWS Security, Identity, and Compliance service category. By the end of this course, you will gain an understanding about the importance of security in the cloud and be able to identify AWS services that you can use to secure your data.

AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate Official Practice Question Set (SAA-C03 - English)

The AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate Official Practice Question Set (SAA-C03 - English) includes 20 questions. This question set aligns with the SAA-C03 version of the exam and exam guide.

Introduction to AWS Resilience Hub

This course introduces AWS Resilience Hub, an application-focused service. It provides a hub-a central place-for users to define, validate, and track the resilience of their Amazon Web Service (AWS) applications.
