The Advanced Developing on AWS course uses the real-world scenario of taking a legacy, on-premises monolithic application and refactoring it into a serverless microservices architecture.

This three-day advanced course covers advanced development topics such as architecting for a cloud-native environment; deconstructing on-premises, legacy applications and repackaging them into cloud-based, cloud-native architectures; and applying the tenets of the Twelve-Factor Application methodology.

In this course, you will learn how to:

• Analyze a monolithic application architecture to determine logical or programmatic break points where the application can be broken up across different AWS services.
• Apply Twelve-Factor Application manifesto concepts and steps while migrating from a monolithic architecture.
• Recommend the appropriate AWS services to develop a microservices based cloud native application.
• Use the AWS API, CLI, and SDKs to monitor and manage AWS services.
• Migrate a monolithic application to a microservices application using the 6 Rs of migration.
• Explain the SysOps and DevOps interdependencies necessary to deploy a microservices application in AWS.

This course covers the following concepts:

• Interfacing with AWS Services
• Deconstructing a monolithic architecture
• Migrating to the cloud
• Creating an infrastructure
• Declare and isolate dependencies
• Storing configuration in the cloud
• Establish a build, release, run model
• Creating the codebase
• Deploying an application
• Evolution of architecture
• Design patterns
• I/O explosion and preventing it
• Microservices

Experienced software developers who are already familiar with AWS services

We recommend that attendees of this course have the following prerequisites:

• In-depth knowledge of at least one high-level programming language
• Working knowledge of core AWS services and public cloud implementation
• Completion of the Developing on AWS course, and then a minimum of 6 months of application of those concepts in a real world environment.
