Course Overview
The AWS Well-Architected Best Practices course will help you learn a consistent approach to evaluate architectures and implement designs from a live instructor. You’ll learn how to use the Well-Architected Review process and the AWS Well-Architected Tool to conduct reviews to identify high risk issues (HRIs). In this 1-day, classroom training course, you’ll learn to apply the five pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework—operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization—to understand the impact of design decisions. You’ll apply what you’ve learned during the course to each pillar of the Well-Architected Framework through tutorials, hands-on labs, discussions, demonstrations, presentations, and group exercises.
