Welcome to Architecture Pillar & Best Practices, in this you’ll explore the foundational principles of designing well-architected solutions on AWS. We’ll begin with the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and the Shared Responsibility Model, helping you understand how organizations adopt AWS and how security and operational responsibilities are shared between AWS and customers.Next, you’ll be introduced to the AWS Well-Architected Framework through two overview sessions, providing a structured approach to evaluating and improving cloud architectures based on best practices.

Welcome to "AWS Well-Architected Framework Pillars" of the course. In this, you’ll dive deeper into each of the six pillars of the Well-Architected Framework: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and Sustainability. These pillars will help you understand how to design systems that are secure, resilient, efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible. By the end of this, you’ll have a strong understanding of AWS architectural best practices and be equipped to assess and improve cloud workloads using the Well-Architected Framework.

Welcome to "AWS Monitoring, Logging & Infrastructure Management" of the course. You’ll focus on monitoring, logging, and infrastructure management services that help you operate and govern AWS environments effectively. We’ll begin with Amazon CloudWatch and AWS CloudTrail, giving you visibility into system performance, resource metrics, and API activity across your AWS environment.Next, you’ll explore AWS CloudTrail vs. CloudWatch vs. Config to clearly understand the role each service plays in observability, auditing, and compliance. You’ll also learn about the AWS Health Dashboard, which provides insights into service events and operational issues that may impact your workloads.As we move forward, you’ll dive into infrastructure automation using AWS CloudFormation and CloudFormation - Creating Stack, enabling you to provision and manage resources using infrastructure as code. You’ll also explore AWS Config to track resource configurations and ensure compliance with organizational policies.Finally, you’ll be introduced to cloud migration concepts, including Migration Strategies and an overview of AWS Migration Tools, helping you understand how to transition workloads to AWS efficiently. By the end of this, you’ll have a solid understanding of how to monitor, manage, and automate AWS environments while supporting governance and migration initiatives.
