Course Description
This course is the ultimate guide for you to learn 'Advanced Architecting on AWS' and eventually prepare you for AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional exam, which is considered one of the toughest among all AWS certifications till date.
Why become AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional?
Despite the wealth of knowledge you attain by passing the AWS Solutions Architect - Associate certification, it does not really challenge your ability to build scalable, highly available, fault tolerant, secure, automatable and repeatable solutions. However, the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional, on the other hand, tests these skills in depth. For anyone who has started a career in AWS, this is a must have certificate at some point in time, for the following reasons:
It will deepen your understanding of various AWS services, how they work together in resilient architectures.
It will sharpen your architecting skills by leading you think from different perspectives, and consider many things in your architecture.
It will also lead you to the next level in your AWS architect career.
It will give your profile an extra edge in today's job market where there are a lot of associate level certified individuals, but there are very few people with professional level knowledge and certification both.
In this course, you will build on concepts introduced in Architecting on AWS. You will learn how to build complex solutions that incorporate data services, governance, and security on the AWS platform. You will also learn about specialized AWS services, including AWS Direct Connect and AWS Storage Gateway, that support hybrid architecture, and you will learn about best practices for building scalable, elastic, secure, and highly available applications on AWS.
In this course, you will learn how to:
Apply the AWS Well-Architected Framework
Manage multiple AWS accounts for your organization
Connect an on-premises datacenter to the AWS Cloud
Discuss billing implications of connecting multi-region VPCs
Move large data from an on-premises datacenter to AWS
Design large data stores for the AWS Cloud
Understand different architectural designs for scaling a large website
Protect your infrastructure from distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks
Secure your data on AWS with encryption
Design protection of data at rest and data in transit
Enhance the performance of your solutions

Here's what some existing students had to say about my course-

Gustavo Tavares: " Very Good course with with kind of details that explain some problems that experienced professional had in the past but do not became sure why. The instructor provide detailed explanations and a lot of good tips for the certification exam."
Jose Floresca Jr.: "This course is short but very comprehensive at the same time. This is what most busy professionals can only ask for."
Anthony Wieczorek: "I was very happy with the material. I just missed my first AWS Associate test and this class is filing in all the blanks that I was unsure of. Super happy I found it."
This is simply the best, most comprehensive and comprehensible course that will help you build on concepts you gained from CSA Associate, and eventually prepare you to pass your AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional exam -- on your first try!

I have brought so many AWS courses, I have indeed lost the count, but this specific in-depth course is true value for money. Absolutely amazing stuff Rohan. Thank You, so very much. Now, I use the amazing in-depth lectures from Rohan as an reference point for my daily day to day work.

I didn't see any advanced architecting, or any best practices! your contents are very flat not even many practices, you read slides like we can't read!! I expected real-world advanced architecture problems/solutions enriched with a lot of diagrams, please change the title of this course.
By Rich Parker on 7/7/2019
Well presented, and well put together. I think some of the nuances in the test requirements may be missing, but this is a good all-around prep for the test. I'll know for sure in a few weeks.
By Ganesh Ramachandran on 1/16/2019
Excellent, the way content is delivered with demos helped me to understand a few AWS advanced services (for example, Storage Gateway for BCDR). Topics are covered in concise and to the point. Very much valuable.
By Ed Fugikawa on 12/30/2018
I am writing this review after completing all the sections except the practice test which I could not complete by the 31 December 2018. Mr. Arora's approach to presenting the material was structured in a manner which I felt was easy to review or absorb. I felt this material addressed advanced topics and easily went beyond content expected in the certified associate level exam levels. He often presented more than one way to address a topic and helped me understand the pros and cons of the decision when discussing, for example, business continuity, NAT devices, and storage approaches. The clarity and quality of presentation in Sections 4 and 5 helped me recommend the course to others. I hope in future course updates he considers covering permission boundaries.

Still I have no personal experience working with AWS. I am acquiring information. I liked how you organized RD process, like titles such as Compute, Storage,Network and Deployment and name of item respectively.
By Craig Palmer on 12/17/2018
I would be surprised if you could sit a professional level test with the content of this course. Most of it I covered at the associate level in even greater detail. I think the "Advanced" title is excessively misleading.
By Pj on 11/13/2018
This is must visit comprehensive course geared for professional certification. The instructor has very deep understanding of the subject that bodes well for a beginner like me pursing these certifications. Thank you Rohan for taking and the time and effort in putting together this course
