Solutions Architect - Associate (Exam: SAA-C03) Exam: SAA-C03

This training course prepares participants to successfully pass the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) exam and to design well-architected, scalable, secure, cost-efficient cloud solutions on AWS. Students will explore architectural best practices, AWS services for compute, storage, networking, security, monitoring, and cost optimization, and work through hands-on labs and scenario exercises to build real-world architectures.

Course Outline

Solutions architects, cloud architects, or cloud engineers seeking the AWS Solutions Architect – Associate certification
IT professionals, sysadmins, or engineers who design, build, and deploy systems on AWS
DevOps engineers or developers who want deeper architectural expertise
Professionals with some prior AWS experience who want to validate and formalize their cloud architecture skills
Anyone preparing to take the SAA-C03 exam

Basic understanding of cloud computing concepts
Experience with AWS core services (compute, networking, storage)
Some hands-on AWS exposure (ideally 1+ year)
Familiarity with networking, operating systems, databases
Understanding of the software development lifecycle and infrastructure as code concepts

Understand AWS global infrastructure, shared responsibility, and security best practices
Design IAM and access control strategies across multiple accounts
Architect secure network topologies (VPC, subnets, routing, endpoints)
Select and size compute and container options (EC2, Lambda, ECS/EKS) based on performance and cost
Design scalable storage solutions (S3, EFS, EBS) with performance, durability, and cost in mind
Choose appropriate database engines, replication strategies, and caching to meet application needs
Build architectures that are highly available, fault tolerant, and disaster resilient
Adopt pattern of loosely coupled, event-driven, and scalable architectures
Ingest, transform, and pipeline data using streaming and ETL services
Optimize architecture for cost efficiency—right sizing, cost-aware choices, lifecycle policies
Monitor, log, and operate AWS systems with best practices
Prepare with confidence and practice scenario questions toward passing the SAA-C03 exam

• Design secure access to AWS resources (IAM, cross-account, federation)
• Design secure workloads & applications (VPC, security groups, WAF, Shield, secrets management)
• Determine appropriate data security controls (encryption at rest/in transit, KMS, data policies)

Design scalable and loosely coupled architectures (microservices, event-driven, decoupling, caching, messaging)
• Design highly available / fault tolerant architectures (multi-AZ, disaster recovery strategies, failover, replication)

• Storage solutions (S3, EFS, EBS, hybrid) that meet performance needs
• Compute solutions (EC2, Lambda, containers) that can scale and perform
• Database solutions (RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, caching, replication)
• Network architectures (VPC design, load balancing, Direct Connect, edge services)
• Data ingestion & transformation (Streaming, ETL, data pipelines)

• Cost-optimized storage (lifecycle policies, tiering, backup)

• Cost-optimized compute (use of Spot, Reserved Instances, right-sizing)

• Cost-optimized database (choice of engine, replication, caching)
