AWS architecture and the Well Architected Framework, advanced networking and content delivery, Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and CloudFormation, containers on AWS with ECS Fargate and EKS, a minor project deploying a highly available container platform, event driven architecture and data services, security CI/CD observability and AI on AWS, and a major project building a production grade AI platform.

Requirements

  • Completion of the Beginner level, or working knowledge of EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, RDS, and basic Lambda and CloudFormation
  • A computer capable of running Terraform and Docker
  • Comfort navigating the AWS Console and CLI

About this course

Level up from cloud user to AWS Solutions Architect. This intermediate program from Ucanly takes practitioners with working knowledge of EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, RDS, and basic Lambda and CloudFormation into professional architecture: the AWS Well Architected Framework, advanced multi VPC networking with Transit Gateway, and Infrastructure as Code with Terraform modules and remote state. You will run containers at scale with ECS Fargate and EKS, and in your week five minor project, deploy a highly available, multi availability zone containerized platform with Terraform, Aurora, and ElastiCache, then deliberately break it to prove it survives. You will build event driven architectures with SQS, SNS, EventBridge, and Step Functions, secure applications with WAF and Secrets Manager, automate delivery with CI/CD, and build RAG powered AI applications with Amazon Bedrock. You will graduate having built a production grade, event driven AI platform in your week ten major project, with microservices, RAG powered intelligence, complete Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, security hardening, observability, and disaster recovery. This course also fully prepares you for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate examination.

Frequently asked questions

It is recommended, but working knowledge of EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, RDS, and basic Lambda and CloudFormation is sufficient to start.

Yes, your minor project is a multi availability zone containerized platform built entirely with Terraform, which you then deliberately break to prove it survives failure.

Yes, you will build RAG powered applications using Amazon Bedrock and vector search, culminating in a full AI platform in your major project.

A production grade, event driven AI platform with microservices, RAG powered intelligence via Bedrock, complete infrastructure as code, CI/CD, security hardening, observability, and disaster recovery.
