![]() This post is just a guide on how I passed the AWS SAA-C02 certification. I’m not here to teach you the differences between RDS and Redshift, or which EC2 instance you should use for which job or system design. I want to preface this post by explaining what this article is about. The course outline is subject to change as needed.The certification is intended for individuals who are architecting solutions (hence the name) in the AWS cloud environment, and also for individuals with at least one or more years of hands-on experience designing available, cost-efficient, fault-tolerant, and scalable distributed systems… although many have passed the certification without such experience. Note: This is an emerging technology course. Hands-on Lab 16: Build a VPC using Cloud Formation Use Elastic Transcoder to convert media into a variety of different formats.Use Lambda to create serverless functions and eliminate management tasks and resource waste.Create templates that can be used to automate the entire AWS infrastructure using Cloud Formation.Import code and automatically create AWS resources using Elastic Beanstalk.Send email, text, and HTTP notifications and alerts using Simple Notification Service (SNS).Use Simple Workflow (SWF) to order complex processes.Create a messaging queue using Amazon Simple Queuing Service (SQS).Understand the value of creating de-coupled applications.Hands-on Lab 15: Audit your AWS Environment Module 9: AWS Application Services Create an Access Control List (ACL) to secure a network.Configure Network Address Translation (NAT) to translate public IP addresses to a private IP address range.Connect your site to the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) over a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN).Create different network zones for publicly accessible instances and backend systems. ![]() Create a logically isolated section of the AWS cloud and define your own virtual network.Hands-on Lab 13: Aurora Module 8: Virtual Private Cloud Create an Aurora instance that is compatible with MySQL.Use Multi-AZ RDS to create a highly-available database service.Back-up and take snapshots of RDS database instances.Differentiate and configure Route53 Routing Policies.Hands-on Lab 9: EC2 Auto Scaling Module 6: Route53 Hands-on Lab 8: Working with Elastic Load Balancing Use Auto Scaling to increase or reduce EC2 capacity based on conditions that you configure.Use the AWS Command Line to manage EC2 instances.Monitor traffic within a VPC using VPC Flow Logs.Understand CloudWatch and use it to monitor resources and applications.Configure Elastic Load Balancer and use health checks to monitor instances.Hands-on Lab 7: Working with Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) Module 5: Managing EC2 Instances Hands-on Lab 6: Introduction to Amazon EC2 Understand the concept of a Stateful Firewall.Apply a Security Group to one or more EC2 instances.Configure a Security Group that controls inbound and outbound traffic.Understand gp2, io1, and st1 volume types.Differentiate EC2 instance types that are optimized for different workloads.Differentiate EC2 tiers and their use cases.Understand virtual server and EC2 instance concepts.Hands-on Lab 5: Introduction to CloudFront Module 4: EC2 Hands-on Lab 4: Introduction to AWS Key Management Service Hands-on Lab 3: S3: Multi-region Storage Backup with Cross-Region Replication Hands-on Lab 2: Introduction to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) Differentiate Import/Export, Snowball, and Transfer Acceleration, and how each can be used to move large amounts of data into AWS.Understand the use cases for a Gateway Stored Volumes, Gateway Cached Volumes, and Virtual Tape Libraries.Understand the CloudFront Content Delivery Network and how it can be used to improve website performance.Differentiate between S3 tiers including Infrequent Access, Reduced Redundancy, and Glacier.Define an S3 bucket and learn how to configure them in the AWS Console.Understand objects and the components that they include such as keys, values, versions, and metadata.Learn about S3 simple file storage and identify durability characteristics and use cases.Hands-on Lab 1: Introduction to AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Module 3: Storage Understand the basic features of Identity and Access Management (IAM) including multi-factor authentication, usernames and passwords, and permissions.Understand the importance of a strong security posture.Understand the many service offerings of AWS at a high level and the use cases for each.Learn basic concepts about regions and availability zones.How to become an AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate.The following topics are general guidelines for the content.
