By the end
What you'll build
- Decode any SAA-C03 scenario by finding its qualifier and eliminating options on hard constraints.
- Design secure architectures: least-privilege IAM, roles over keys, private networks, and encryption.
- Write and debug real IAM policy JSON and predict its allow/deny outcome (explicit deny wins, default deny).
- Design resilient architectures across multiple AZs with decoupling, Auto Scaling, and Multi-AZ data tiers.
- Match RTO/RPO targets to the right disaster-recovery strategy at appropriate cost.
- Design high-performing architectures: right compute/storage/database for the access pattern, caching, and CDNs.
- Design cost-optimized architectures: right pricing model, storage tiers, right-sizing, and data-transfer awareness.
- Evaluate a given architecture against the Well-Architected pillars and identify the highest-severity risk.
- Analyse a broken design or post-mortem, find the root cause, and re-architect to eliminate the fault.
- Reproduce key labs on real free infrastructure (AWS Free plan / Educate / Killercoda) and sit two timed mock exams.
