Course Overview
This hands-on course introduces the fundamental concepts of planning IT solutions for deployment on cloud service providers. Participants must have prior technical knowledge creating software applications using programming languages or scripting in Node.js, or Java, or .NET. COMP 3215 is supported by AWS Academy and is delivered by an AWS Academy Accredited Educator. Students will be shown how to access to limited AWS resources through a registration process. They will use a scenario-based lab environments for evaluating trade-offs in different approaches to design reliable, secure, high-performing, cost-efficient systems leveraging the AWS Cloud. Labs and exercises leverage infrastructure-as-code techniques to automate the build of a solution based on their chosen scenario. Alternative services available through other cloud service providers or open-source solutions are introduced for comparison with the AWS Cloud services used in the course. Upon successful completion, students will have gained experience designing scalable and secure distributed systems on the AWS Cloud. They will also be prepared to challenge the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate certification exam, available at additional cost through Amazon. COMP 3215 is an elective in the CST FLEX Diploma. This course is currently under review and not offered.
