Course Overview
Designing reliable and scalable cloud infrastructure requires strong architectural understanding across networking, compute, storage, and security services. This mentor-led programme develops the practical architecture skills required to design modern cloud solutions using Amazon Web Services, aligned with AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA) concepts.
Across five days, learners explore how to design highly available and cost-optimised cloud architectures using core AWS services. The programme focuses on real-world architecture scenarios such as building resilient application environments, designing secure network architectures, managing storage strategies, and implementing identity and access controls.
Through guided labs, architecture workshops, and practical scenarios, participants gain hands-on experience designing and evaluating AWS solutions. By the end of the programme, learners will be able to design scalable and secure architectures that align with modern cloud engineering and architecture practices.
