AWS Well-Architected Framework Review Like an Architect

What you'll learn

⚡ Plan a Well-Architected review of an AWS workload: choose the workload, the people, the scope and the right time
⚡ Interview a team, check each answer against the data, and find where what people say and what the data shows do not match
⚡ Find risks in all six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework, rate each risk, and give each fix a level of effort
⚡ Decide between pillars when fixes conflict, such as reliability and cost, based on the business goals
⚡ Write an improvement plan that fits the real capacity of your team, and present it to managers in money, customers and time
⚡ Define a workload in the AWS Well-Architected Tool, and track your progress with milestones

Requirements

❗ You know the basics of AWS, such as what Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon RDS and IAM do
❗ You do not need an AWS account: the quizzes, the Role Plays and the final project need no AWS resources

Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Many AWS workloads work well on most days, but nobody has checked them against best practices for years. Teams add features, traffic grows, and people leave the company. A setting that was right three years ago can be wrong today. This course teaches you to find these risks in a Well-Architected review, and to turn them into fixes that your company really makes.
Run A Well-Architected Review And Turn The Risks Into An Accepted Plan
The AWS Well-Architected Framework, and the review that uses it.
AWS publishes the framework as a set of best practices in six pillars: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability. With the framework, you measure a workload against these best practices in the same way each time. Architects, cloud engineers, platform teams and technical leads run a review early in the design, before go-live, and again after big changes. A good review is a conversation with the teams, not an audit. But a list of risks alone changes nothing. The teams fix the risks only when managers give them the people and the time, so this course teaches the whole job.
You learn one job in three steps: review the workload, plan the fixes, and present the plan to your managers. Each section adds one part of that job.
Most lectures follow one company, Vellora Grocers, a regional grocery chain that sells online. You read its case study and its evidence pack: an architecture overview, interview notes, an incident report, and a cost summary. Then we review its online order workload together, one pillar at a time.
Every pillar section has the same three steps. First, you see what good looks like, with the design principles explained through examples. Next, you learn which questions to ask, and which data confirms or contradicts each answer. Last, you rate the findings at Vellora Grocers, give each fix a level of effort, and weigh the trade-offs between pillars where fixes conflict.
In a hands-on demo, you see the AWS Well-Architected Tool in the AWS Management Console. We define a workload there, and the demo needs no AWS resources.
In the AI Role Plays, you are the architect. You interview a person at the company, or you get a manager or a board member to agree on a decision, and Udemy's AI gives you feedback. A short scenario quiz closes each section from Section 2 to Section 10, with an explanation for every question.
In the final project, you review a second company alone: Halvard Tickets, an online ticket seller. Then you check your work with the self-check list, compare it with my written solution, and watch two videos where I explain my solution step by step.
You keep a kit of five downloadable resources: a review worksheet, an interview guide, an improvement plan template, a leadership summary template, and a self-check list. At the end of the course, you can plan a review, check each answer against the evidence, rate the risks in all six pillars, and present an improvement plan in money, customers, and time. You can use the same kit at your own company the next day.
Several AWS certification exams use the framework. This course supports the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) exam, whose exam guide asks you to understand the six pillars and the differences between them. It also helps you prepare for the parts of AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (SAA-C03), AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional (SAP-C03), and AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer - Associate (SOA-C03) that use the framework. It is not a full exam prep course for any of these exams.
