Design High-Performing Architectures on AWS

Overview

This course helps learners design scalable and high-performing architectures using AWS compute, storage, network, and database services. Through real-world examples and hands-on exercises, students explore optimal storage types, compute patterns, high-performance databases, and efficient data ingestion pipelines, while building resilient, scalable systems that align with business goals.

Syllabus

Scalable and High-Performance Solutions in AWS

Discover how to design scalable, high-performance AWS solutions using S3, EBS, auto-scaling, containers, hybrid storage, and cloud best practices for reliability and efficiency.

High Performance Database Solutions

Explore high performance AWS database solutions, covering RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, scaling, replication, migration, caching, global clusters, and exam-ready best practices.

High Performance Network Architectures

Explore AWS high-performance networking with VPCs, load balancers, edge services, secure data movement, scalable data ingestion, and data lakes for robust, efficient cloud architectures.

Building a Scalable, High-Performance AWS Architecture

Learn to design scalable, high-performance AWS architectures by optimizing storage, compute, databases, networking, and cost, applying Well-Architected Framework best practices.

Architectural Project

In this project you will help feed hungry people around the world by 1) create an architectural diagram and details and 2) build a working proof of concept based on your proposed solution.
