One plan covers every Professional Certificate on Coursera.

This course covers three interconnected pillars of resilient, secure AWS architectures: IAM best practices, auto scaling, and advanced virtual network services. Covering over 3 hours of expert instruction, learners develop the skills to build AWS environments that scale automatically under load while maintaining strong security postures and network isolation. Learners benefit by understanding advanced IAM configurations including Control Tower, Service Control Policies, and CloudTrail, as well as EC2 Auto Scaling groups, scaling policies, and AWS networking services including Route 53, CloudFront, and Direct Connect. By the end of this course, learners will be able to implement auto scaling for high availability, apply governance-level IAM controls, and design advanced network architectures on AWS.
