Course description

The AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (SAA-C02) is focused on how CloudWatch logs work and the main design features to consider based on specific needs including: multi-tier architecture solutions; highly available and/or fault-tolerant architectures; decoupling mechanisms using AWS services; resilient storage; elastic and scalable compute solutions; high-performing and scalable storage solutions, networking solutions, database solutions; secure access to AWS resources; secure application tiers; data security options; cost-effective storage solutions and compute and database services; and cost-optimized network architectures.

The goal of this course is to demonstrate real-world foundational knowledge of core data concepts and how they are implemented using AWS Certified Solutions Architecture – Associate — including foundation topics, exam preparations tasks, and a practice exam— to increase your chances of passing the exam on your first try.
