The AWS Cloud Solutions Architect – Associate course is designed to prepare learners for one of the most sought-after cloud certifications by covering all essential aspects of designing robust and scalable cloud solutions using Amazon Web Services (AWS). The course begins with a foundational overview of AWS’s global infrastructure, including regions, availability zones, and edge locations. Students then explore core services such as EC2 for compute, S3 for storage, RDS and DynamoDB for databases, and VPC for networking. Emphasis is placed on solution architecture best practices including high availability, fault tolerance, scalability, cost optimization, and security. Learners gain hands-on experience in deploying multi-tier web applications, managing auto-scaling groups, configuring load balancers, and implementing CloudFront for content delivery. The course introduces IAM for access control, CloudTrail for auditing, and CloudWatch for monitoring. Real-world case studies guide learners through architectural decisions based on business requirements. Topics such as hybrid cloud architecture, disaster recovery strategies, and serverless design using AWS Lambda are also included. Students also prepare for the certification exam with scenario-based questions, quizzes, and practice labs. By the end of the course, learners will be capable of designing secure, efficient, and cost-effective AWS-based solutions, making them ready for cloud architecture roles or certification success.
