Description
This course allows you to apply new skills and knowledge through practical exercises including creating the data layer with Amazon S3, creating the compute (Amazon EC2) and database (Amazon RDS) layer, creating the network layer (Amazon VPC). Additional labs build on these layers to include high availability protection, scalability, and automation. Students experience going serverless and the benefits of Lambda/API Gateway. A final lab shows how to recover from a disaster to get the applications running again.
