ISC Technology Training Services is working with Amazon Web Services to bring the 'Architecting with AWS' class to campus. The cost for this three day class will be $1,675 and since the class will be held on campus, you will have no additional travel time or expenses to attend this class. We need a minimum number of students to be able to hold this class on campus in June.
Course Objectives – In this class, you and other architects will:
- Dive deep into architecture patterns for common solutions on AWS: Web Applications, Batch Processing, and hosting internal IT Applications.
- Explore design components and capabilities for scalability and elasticity and high availability.
- Understand how to design for security, authentication, and authorization with AWS.
- Explore migration paths to the cloud.
Learn how to design for cost optimization.
