Resilient Architectures on AWS with Practical Solutions

🌟 Welcome to the Resilient Architectures on AWS with Practical Solutions Bootcamp! 🌟

This is your gateway to mastering disaster recovery strategies and techniques that will minimize downtime and data loss. With AWS's robust suite of services at our disposal, we'll design and implement effective disaster recovery architectures.

Course Overview:

• Understanding Disaster Recovery: You'll be introduced to the key concepts, terminologies, and the philosophy of "Everything Fails, All the Time" as famously stated by Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon.com.

• Resilience & High Availability: We'll explore what resiliency and high availability truly mean, and why one is not a substitute for the other when it comes to safeguarding your infrastructure against disasters.

Hands-On Learning:

In this course, you will:

• 🛠️ Deploy a multi-tier web application using DynamoDB Global Tables, AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, EC2 instances, Elastic Load Balancer (ELB), and Route 53 to understand real-world implementations.

• 🔄 Explore Backup & Restore: We'll cover various options using AWS Backup, configure point-in-time-recovery (PITR), schedule backups, and maintain copies in a second region for redundancy.

• 🛡️ Simulate Data Loss Scenarios: You'll simulate malicious data loss and corruption to learn how to effectively recover the data without significant data loss.

• 🌐 Region Failover: Understand how to handle the loss of an entire region using Backup and Restore mechanisms to ensure your application remains available.

• 🔥 Warm Standby & Active-Active Configurations: Learn how to set up your infrastructure as either a Pilot Light or in Warm Standby mode, minimizing recovery time and data loss.

• 🌍 Multi-Region Active-Active Setup: Dive into a zero-downtime solution with a multi-site active-active configuration using AWS services like Aurora Global Database.

• 📚 Database Recovery Techniques: Understand how disaster recovery changes with relational databases such as RDS and Aurora, and learn to configure continuous replication and perform both Managed Failover and Unplanned Failover.

Course Requirements:

• You must have an AWS account with administrative privileges.
• Familiarity with EC2, ELB, IAM, and databases is essential for the hands-on labs.
