Course Overview
Modern organisations rely on cloud engineers to design, deploy, and operate scalable infrastructure in cloud environments. This mentor-led programme introduces the essential AWS services and operational practices required to build and manage cloud-based systems in real-world environments.
Across four days, learners explore core AWS components including identity and access management, virtual networking with VPC, compute services, and storage solutions. The programme focuses on practical engineering scenarios such as launching workloads, configuring networking, securing access, and managing application deployments.
Through guided labs, scenario simulations, and mentor-led sessions, participants gain hands-on experience working with AWS infrastructure. By the end of the programme, learners can deploy and troubleshoot cloud workloads while applying operational best practices used by cloud engineering teams.
