Advanced Developing on AWS

Course Overview

The Advanced Developing on AWS course uses the real-world scenario of taking a legacy, on-premises monolithic application and refactoring it into a serverless microservices architecture. This three-day advanced course covers advanced development topics such as architecting for a cloud-native environment; deconstructing on-premises, legacy applications and repackaging them into cloud-based, cloud-native architectures; and applying the tenets of the Twelve-Factor Application methodology.

Who Should Attend

Experienced software developers who are already familiar with AWS services

Course Objectives

    • Analyze a monolithic application architecture to determine logical or programmatic break points where the application can be broken up across different AWS services.
    • Apply Twelve-Factor Application manifesto concepts and steps while migrating from a monolithic architecture.
    • Recommend the appropriate AWS services to develop a microservices based cloud native application.
    • Use the AWS API, CLI, and SDKs to monitor and manage AWS services. Migrate a monolithic application to a microservices application using the 6 Rs of migration.
    • Explain the SysOps and DevOps interdependencies necessary to deploy a microservices application in AWS.
