Architecting on AWS is for solutions architects, solution-design engineers, and developers seeking an understanding of AWS architecting. In this course, you will learn to identify services and features to build resilient, secure, and highly available IT solutions on the AWS Cloud.

Architectural solutions differ depending on industry, types of applications, and business size.The modules focus on account security, networking, compute, storage, databases, monitoring, automation, containers, serverless architecture, edge services, and backup and recovery. You will practice building a solution and apply what you have learned.
