Professional Certificate 10 Modules 117 Lessons

Cloud Computing Architect (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)

Description

Program summary

This online program develops practical cloud architecture thinking across major hyperscalers. You will focus on shared principles—scalability, availability, security, and cost governance—and learn to document architectural decisions using reference patterns and review checklists. The emphasis is deployable architecture practice, not exam memorization.
Format: Delivered online. If a specific program includes live sessions, an on-campus visit, or any in-person component, this will be clearly stated on the program page.
What you will gain:
• Design reference architectures balancing scale, security, and cost
• Apply shared responsibility and IAM/networking fundamentals
• Use HA and scaling patterns in realistic scenarios
• Document decisions and conduct structured architecture reviews
Who should attend:
Cloud engineers/architect candidates, DevOps teams, infrastructure managers, and migration project teams.
Course outline
1. Cloud foundations: IaaS/PaaS/SaaS, shared responsibility model
2. Core components: compute, storage, network, IAM
3. Scalability & HA: patterns and design principles
4. Security: identity, segmentation, logging foundations
5. Cost management: tagging, budgeting, optimization checklists
6. Applied practice: reference diagram + cost/security review
