What you'll be able to do
Design architectures on AWS.
The Solutions Architect – Associate is AWS's most widely taken associate certification. It tests whether you can design an architecture on AWS that is secure, resilient, fast and good value.
Resilient
Design for failure.
Build loosely coupled, highly available systems across Availability Zones and Regions.
Efficient
Right-size for speed and cost.
Choose storage, compute, databases and networks that perform well and cost less.
Skills covered
- IAM and secure access
- VPC design and network security
- EC2, auto scaling and load balancing
- S3, EBS and EFS storage
- RDS, Aurora and DynamoDB
- Serverless and decoupled design: Lambda, SQS, API Gateway
- Disaster recovery, RPO and RTO
- Cost-optimised architecture
Who it's for
Built for people moving into cloud architecture.
The course is for system administrators, developers and IT professionals moving into cloud architecture. AWS recommends at least a year of hands-on experience designing on AWS before the exam; the labs give you much of that practice.
Roles where these skills are used
- Cloud Engineer
- AWS Solutions Architect (associate)
- Cloud Consultant
- DevOps Engineer
- Cloud Support Engineer
- Infrastructure Engineer
Entry requirements.
- Basic networking and Linux familiarity
- Some hands-on AWS experience helps: AWS recommends a year of designing on AWS
- Good English, or one of the exam's other languages
