Course details
This hands-on course introduces the core concepts of architecting 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 use scenario-based lab environments for evaluating tradeoffs in different solution approaches to design secure, reliable, 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 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 several BCIT Computing Flexible Learning/ PTS programs, including the CST FLEX Diploma. This course is offered once per year in January (Winter) term.
