Learn the application services and database technologies that modern cloud architectures are built on. Through the industry-proven lens of the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) exam, you'll build cloud-native applications with AWS Lambda, API Gateway, Kinesis, CloudFront, SQS, SNS, and Step Functions, and automate infrastructure with CloudFormation. You'll compare relational and non-relational databases, design for high availability, scalability, and security, and work with Amazon RDS, Aurora, Redshift, and DynamoDB, including deployments, backups, restores, and snapshots in guided labs.

Not planning to take the exam? These skills still apply on the job. Managed application services and databases reduce operational overhead in nearly every cloud project, so these skills apply on the job whether or not you pursue the certification. Expert instruction helps you finish able to design and deploy application infrastructure and databases that meet performance, availability, and cost requirements. Guided lab walkthroughs make each service concrete, from Lambda functions to DynamoDB tables.

A: The course includes about 4.5 hours of material: videos, quizzes, and optional assignments. How long it takes you depends on your starting knowledge and how you like to study, so here are some typical ranges. If you already have experience with these topics, you may finish in about 3.5 to 4.5 hours by skimming familiar lessons. If you have some background, plan on about 5 to 7 hours. If you are new to the topic, plan on about 7 to 9 hours, because you may want to rewatch lessons and review quizzes. At the recommended 5 to 6 hours per week, this works out to about 1 to 2 weeks. The course is self-paced, so you can rewatch any lesson as often as you need.

Eligible learners may also have the option to start with a Free Trial. Some courses may also offer a Full Course, No Certificate option.
