The Advanced Developing on AWS  course uses the real-world scenario of taking a legacy, on-premises monolithic application and refactoring it into a serverless microservices architecture. This advanced course covers advanced development topics such as architecting for a cloud-native environment; deconstructing on-premises, legacy applications and repackaging them into cloud-based, cloud native architectures; and applying the tenets of the Twelve-Factor Application methodology. The course is delivered by skilled Amazon Authorized Instructors, who daily polish their skills and knowledge on production enterprise projects.

It also includes additional hands-on tasks to polish your skills within special EPAM AWS Sandbox, for no extra fee.

Activities

This course includes presentations, group exercises, and hands-on labs.
