This course is the final part of the Cloud Technology Consultant Professional Certificate that brings together and deepens all of the information you have learned along the way. Up until this point, you’ve built up your foundational knowledge of technology and AWS Cloud, but how do you know if the solutions you create are following best practices? This is where the AWS Well-Architected Framework is critical knowledge for any cloud consultant or cloud professional. The AWS Well-Architected Framework is a set of best practices and guidelines for designing and building secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient solutions on AWS.

The framework covers areas such as security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, operational excellence, and sustainability. You’ll follow along as we evaluate workloads against the design principles laid out in the AWS Well-Architected Framework. You’ll also get to explore the AWS Well-Architected Tool and apply the AWS Well-Architected Framework to your Capstone project. You’ll also learn about some next steps you can take to launch your career, like AWS Certification exams, getting hands-on with AWS, and practicing interviewing for technical roles.
