Learn High-level AWS design best practices including cost management, serverless, databases, availability, and much more
InstructorRick Crisci
The instruction focuses on breaking down complex architectural principles into clear, simplified concepts.
The use of diagrams and examples helps illustrate specific architectural topics.
Editorial course preview
These 4 complementary views highlight concrete, legible examples from the course presentation.
This architectural diagram illustrates high availability by distributing T3-Small instances across two Availability Zones managed by an Elastic Load Balancer and Auto Scaling Group.
This slide illustrates the difference between vertical scaling, which involves changing instance size like a T3-Medium, and horizontal scaling, which distributes load across multiple smaller instances via an ELB.
This diagram illustrates how an AutoScaling Group distributes instances across two Availability Zones using a specified AMI and User Data configuration.
This AWS architecture diagram illustrates a stateless application setup with a DynamoDB database connected to T3-Small instances distributed across AZ1 and AZ2 behind an Elastic Load Balancer.
The teaching can feel abstract, lacking the depth of practical, hands-on examples.
The database supplement contains items explicitly labeled as being from a different course.
The curriculum aligns well with the goal of providing a high-level architectural overview for aspiring architects.
