Learn How to Avoid Single Point of Failure, Secure Workload, Design for High Availability

Description

I am truly honored Udemy CEO highlighted my SAA-C03 courses in the earnings call [Aug-2022] for providing up-to-date and relevant content

Welcome to the Part 1 AWS Solutions Architect Associate Course!

If you are interested in becoming a cloud architect, you have come to the right place!

An architect is responsible for translating the business requirements into a solution blueprint

And also provide implementation guidance to the development team

To effectively play this role, you need a breadth of understanding of AWS services and how to integrate them into a complete solution

In this course, we walk through several business scenarios and how to apply cloud architectural principles

Such as avoiding a single point of failure, properly securing and protecting your workload, designing for high availability, and so forth

I am Chandra Lingam, and I am your instructor.

I have structured the curriculum into two courses

The first course (this one) covers infrastructure services such as network, server, monitoring, storage, load balancers, auto-scaling, cloud security, S3, managing your application traffic flow with services such as Route 53, CloudFront, Global Accelerator, and we wrap up with migrate your application to the cloud

The second course (this one) covers messaging services, lambda, API Gateway, databases, containers, cloudformation, and disaster recovery concepts

Here is the approximate time you need to plan to spend on preparation.

The first course is around 15 hours long and the second course is around 9 hours long

I recommend adjusting the video playback speed to 1.25x

So, you can watch all the videos in around 20 hours

And for the hands-on labs and quizzes, add another 20 hours

So, plan to spend at least 40 hours on preparation

The time will vary based on your experience – but you can use this as a ballpark

I also provide PDFs to review specific concepts quickly

Something unique I offer my students is the weekly study group sessions where you can meet fellow learners and discuss specific topics

With the knowledge you gain in this course, you will become a really good architect and easily clear the certification exam!

I am looking forward to meeting you!

It's an OK course. Many lectures (like those on ALBs etc.) use pretty old interfaces and those things are not even valid these days. So do not rely on this course solely to pass the exam. This is not at all sufficient.

Lessons on encryption (At-rest, EBS, etc) was bit confusing. A lesson on encryption primer would have helped.

I got a great idea about the overall AWS Architect SAA C03 - my only concern is the outdated resources, including labs that prevented me from doing them correctly, not to mention the amount of time wasted trying to figure out the differences between the different versions of the interfaces.

This course is not structured. Topics are discussed without even giving an introduction in the previous video. For example, the trainer explains how to set up a VPC flow log without explaining what a VPC flow log is.

Chandra puts in a lot of work in these courses and it is apparent when you follow along all the labs and videos.

Without introducing the background and what needs to be done, the instructor jumps in setting up alerts and budget.

Chandra Mohan Sir Way of teaching is unique. There is a clear continuity of theory concepts, being demonstrated via Lab sessions. This really makes easier for us to understand and remember as the course progresses. This course, hands down one of the best to achieve AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate, SAA-C03 exam. One great thing about this course is, updates are very fast, being included by author into this course, as and when required. Thanks for really helping me to achieve this certification.

Well I firmly believe, the more an instructor/teacher has knowledge , the more he/she makes the subject easier to understand, the way Chandra explains the subject and all the concepts of AWS , it seems so logical and interesting. This makes me more excited to get the certification and enter in AWS ecosphere. Thanks Chandra

It is one of the best courses for AWS SAA, After trying with many instructors in Udemy, I found Chandra's course on AWS SAA is master piece, Course consists of real time scenarios with Labs, It is recommended to every students who are aspiring to be AWS SAA, Further in the explanations or crisp with deep explanations, Most importantly he is not in hurry while teaching each topic, It is amazing course, I am taking exam in September 30th 2022

It is a good match. Unfortunately a little bit too hard too follow smoothly as a lot of acronyms are used without spelling them out.

hands on materials are detailed presented. But AWS console UI changes really fast that some hands on lab video shows out dated UI

As a complete beginner to AWS, this course is really easy to understand while also reinforcing basic networking concepts.
