AWS Cloud Architecture

On AWS the expensive part is not the machines — it is architectural decisions made on instinct, whose consequences only surface at the first outage or the first bill nobody can defend. This training gives you a structure that replaces instinct: the six Well-Architected pillars as a decision tool, not a checklist to tick off.

Who it is for

Training for people responsible for architectural decisions on AWS who want to ground them in a proven framework rather than intuition. It pays off most for teams already running systems in production — where questions about availability, disaster recovery and cost have stopped being theoretical.

How we run it

We work through case studies and real design dilemmas, not a walkthrough of the documentation. Across the course you run a condensed Well-Architected review on a sample system: you identify risks in each pillar, weigh the trade-offs, and produce concrete recommendations with their cost and priority.

What you take away

• The six Well-Architected pillars used as a decision-making tool, not a checklist
• High availability and disaster recovery designed to real requirements (RTO/RPO), not “just in case”
• The ability to read and model cloud cost before it becomes a budget problem
• Identity, networking and data protection laid out on a least-privilege basis
• Governance and a multi-account strategy for a growing organisation
