Course description

The Advanced Developing on AWS course uses the real-world scenario of taking a legacy, on-premises monolithic application and refactoring it into a serverless microservices architecture. This three-day
advanced course covers advanced development topics such as architecting for a cloud-native environment; deconstructing on-premises, legacy applications and repackaging them into cloud-based, cloud native
architectures; and applying the tenets of the Twelve-Factor Application methodology.

Activities

This course includes presentations, group exercises, and hands-on labs.

Course objectives

In this course, you will:

  • Analyse a monolithic application architecture to determine logical or programmatic break points where the application can be broken up across different AWS services
  • Apply Twelve-Factor Application manifesto concepts and steps while migrating from a monolithic architecture
  • Recommend the appropriate AWS services to develop a microservices based cloud-native application
  • Use the AWS API, CLI, and SDKs to monitor and manage AWS services
  • Migrate a monolithic application to a microservices application using the 6 Rs of migration
  • Explain the SysOps and DevOps interdependencies necessary to deploy a microservices application in AWS

This Course Is Intended For

This course is intended for experienced software developers who are already familiar with AWS services.

Prerequisites

We recommend that attendees of this course have:

  • In-depth knowledge of at least one high-level programming language
  • Working knowledge of core AWS services and public cloud implementation
  • Completion of the Developing on AWS classroom training, and then a minimum of 6 months of application of those concepts in a real world environment
