Description

*** I am truly honored Udemy CEO highlighted my SAA-C03 courses in the recent earnings call [Aug-2022] for providing up-to-date and relevant content ***Welcome to the Part 1 AWS Solutions Architect Associate Course!If you are interested in becoming a cloud architect, you have come to the right place!An architect is responsible for translating the business requirements into a solution blueprintAnd also provide implementation guidance to the development teamTo effectively play this role, you need a breadth of understanding of AWS services and how to integrate them into a complete solutionIn this course, we walk through several business scenarios and how to apply cloud architectural principlesSuch as avoiding a single point of failure, properly securing and protecting your workload, designing for high availability, and so forthI am Chandra Lingam, and I am your instructor.I have structured the curriculum into two coursesThe first course (this one) covers infrastructure services such as network, server, monitoring, storage, load balancers, auto-scaling, cloud security, S3, managing your application traffic flow with services such as Route 53, CloudFront, Global Accelerator, and we wrap up with migrate your application to the cloudThe second course (this one) covers messaging services, lambda, API Gateway, databases, containers, cloudformation, and disaster recovery conceptsHere is the approximate time you need to plan to spend on preparation.The first course is around 15 hours long and the second course is around 9 hours longI recommend adjusting the video playback speed to 1.25xSo, you can watch all the videos in around 20 hoursAnd for the hands-on labs and quizzes, add another 20 hoursSo, plan to spend at least 40 hours on preparationThe time will vary based on your experience – but you can use this as a ballparkI also provide PDFs to review specific concepts quicklySomething unique I offer my students is the weekly study group sessions where you can meet fellow learners and discuss specific topicsWith the knowledge you gain in this course, you will become a really good architect and easily clear the certification exam!I am looking forward to meeting you!
