Description

Cloud operations and DevOps have become heavily critical to hosting and running any high-performance web applications that can scale as the user demand increases. This Build Project will introduce you to basic cloud principles, explain some of the best practices and walk you through a couple of hands-on exercises to prepare you to dive deeper into the world of cloud engineering.  

By the end of the 8-weeks project, you will develop a sound foundation of cloud principles. You will develop architecture diagrams and implement those on the AWS cloud platform for hosting a basic web application. Finally, you will be tasked to develop and present a migration strategy for a company that wants to move their web architecture from On-Prem to the AWS Cloud.

Since most software organizations use some form of the cloud or another, having these foundational principles can help you understand the company's software infrastructure as well as stand out from your competition.
