Course Description
AWS Certified Solutions Architect Guide & Question Bank provides a structured introduction to AWS and prepares you to get certified at the Associate Level (Architect, Sysops Admin, Developer).
This is the second and concluding part of the two-part course series on getting certified at Associate Level. (NOTE: For Part 1, Look for the course 1. AWS Certified Solutions Architect Guide & Question Bank)
In Part 1 of this course, we learned about core services that form the foundation of AWS Cloud Platform. That included networking, storage, compute, automatic scaling, security, monitoring and tools for estimating cost of a solution.
In this course, we will start with services that offer Queueing, Notification and Email capabilities. Then we will focus on Lambda server-less compute capability provided by AWS and API Gateway to provide RESTful front end for your Lambda functions. AWS also provides a range of Cloud Database offerings including RDS, NoSQL, In-Memory, Columnar, ElasticSearch and we will explore what their strengths and weaknesses are. Learn how to manage streaming data with Amazon Kinesis (Stream, Firehose, Analytics). Learn about Amazon ECS, Containers and Dockers. CloudFormation lectures teach how to manage your infrastructure as code. Elastic Beanstalk gives an overview on how you can quickly deploy your application and manage infrastructure automatically. This course also introduces programmatic integration of AWS Services from your application.
As we learn these topics, we will look into architectural best practices and patterns for building cost-effective and highly scalable solutions. We will also look at disaster recovery options that are enabled by AWS.Who this course is for:
- Get certified at Solutions Architect - Associate Level
- Learn AWS Cloud Platform from scratch

Clear Cut explanation of the Core AWS services. A Picture perfect course to not only clear AWS certification but also to get a good hands on grip of the AWS services.
By Clifford James
Very clear and well-structured content. I have take other AWS trainings and this one is the best so far, bar none.

1) Some demos don't match current AWS interface at all. Obviously AWS changes so fast that one might expect some differences between the demos and the real interface, but the course at points is lagging too far behind, so far that it gets confusing at times.
2) Many of the demos you can't do with a (new) free tier account because of changes in the last 6 months. It happens often that I can do a demo till halfway to find out that because of the limitations of the free tier account I can't continue. Obviously this is not the fault of the author of the course, but it makes these demos pretty useless (and frustrating).
3) While the references to some Re:invent videos and other material are niece, it should be mentioned whether they serve as optional background or as necessary study material (since they are often quite lengthy; 60 min or so).

By Naresh
Good course to learn SNS,SQS,LAMBDA,KINESIS,Cloud formation,elastic baeanstalk and ECS etc....
By Sandeep Naidu Rathina
Great Course. Chandra is a great instructor.
I really appreciate the way the course is designed.
Both part-1 and Part-2 have almost all the concepts required to complete certification.
All the training videos are having required information and also presented well.
Especially the tests that come after completion of each concept are very helpful to sync up with certification questions.
I spent around 100 hours. Practiced demos, gone through Amazon Invent videos as specified in the training videos.
With the help of Chandra lectures and Udemy, I have completed certification successfully.
Suggest to include ECS concepts.
Also looking forward for Chandra training videos on AWS SysOps Administrator as well.
By Ash Thomas
I purchased both his courses last year & Instructor is knowledge . I had done both his courses in Feb2017, May 2017 and they were excellent at that time . I re-did this course again in July 2018 but i found its the same course without nothing new updated. I checked in Udemy similar courses and found tons of new information in their courses for AWS exams. I certainly believe both his Part 1 and Part 2 needs a full update as this course may not address the current exam requirements . I really consider this course still as a great source of information for a home lab and will be happy to raise the rating once the new updates/ GUI changes are done.
