Section Introduction Now, we’re getting into the networking sections, and this one is about Route 53. Now, Route 53 is an easy topic when you think about it. Before a sysps exam, you’re supposed to know Route 53 in and outs. So we’ll have an in depth look and we’ll understand the Ttl and the implications of the Ttl CNAME versus alias. We’ll understand about health checks and we’ll learn about all the routing policies in depth. That includes simple weighted latency failover location and MultiValue. I have included graphs…

Config Overview Okay, let’s get into a very popular exam topic which is AWS config. So it helps with auditing and compliance of your AWS resources. So what does that mean? That means that we’re going to record configuration and changes over time. So as we start modifying the configuration of our ECU instances, EBS volumes, load, balancers, anything really. AWS config will record anything that was done over time and we record the configuration over time. So we can always roll back or see what it was a week…

CloudWatch Alarms Now let’s talk about cloudwatch alarms. So, alarms will be used to trigger notification for any kind of metric that used to specify and the alarms can trigger auto scaling. If you do action and SNS notifications, you get various options. You can choose sampling a percentage, you can choose the max, the Min, the average. You have different ways of basically computing your alarm. And the alarm can be in different states, it can be in OK, that means everything is good and that your metric is…

Section Intro We’re finally getting to one of the most important sections for the exam. It is around monitoring, audit and performance. We’ll have a deep look at Cloud Watch, cloud Trail and Config. Now, Cloud Watch is one of the most important topics for the Sysaps exam, but alongside this whole course, as soon as we’ve seen a new technology, we’ve looked at Cloud Watch metrics. So in that regard, we’ve covered many of the services. Cloudwatch Metrics we’ll still look at some important details in Cloud Watch such…

AWS Budgets But now let’s talk about AWS budgets. And this service is actually very similar to Cost Explorer. The only difference is that now you can send alarms when a cost exceeds the budget, and we’ll see how to create these budgets. So there’s three kinds of budgets you can create. There is usage, cost and reservation. We’ll see those in detail in the hands on. For the reserved instances, though, you can get utilization tracking, and you can also get support for EC Two, elastic cache, RDS and…

AWS Service Catalog Hands-On So let’s get started with Service catalog. So I’ll just key clear and say Service catalog. Here we go. So what we are going to do next is click on it and as we can see, we are directly on this UI that is literally a service catalog. So we get the logo AWS service catalog right here and we can get product list, portfolio list, etc, etc. So let’s do something pretty cool at first. We’re going to change things. So we’re going to change…

AWS Organizations Hands-On Okay, so let’s create our first organization and invite our child accounts. So I’m going to go to AWS organization and for this exercise I have created a new account called Aid of coursemaster, and this will be the Master account of my new AWS organization.

Section Intro Now we are getting into the AWS account management section and in this section we’ll see all there is to know about health dashboards, AWS organizations and the billing console. There’s no fancy diagram for these services, but they are asked at the exam for the sysups perspective and also whether sys ups in the real life. You will need to know in and out these skills to be able to be a great sysups. I’m really excited. This will be a short section, but I’m sure it…

On-Premise Strategies with AWS Okay, so yet another theoretical lecture, but I still want to mention it because I think it’s extremely important. Going to the exam, you need to know about the services that AWS offers at a very, very high level, but just hear one about them once to do onpremise strategy with the cloud. So we have the ability to download the Amazon linux to ami as a virtual machine and they will be in the iso format. And you can load this iso image into the…

Disaster Recovery – Overview So disaster recovery as a solutions architect is super important and the exam expects you to know about disaster recovery. And there’s a white paper on it, you should read it. But I try to summarize everything clearly with graphs and diagrams in this lecture. So you don’t have to read it if you don’t want to. But overall you can expect some question on disaster recovery and as a solutions architect you need to know about disaster recovery anyway. Don’t worry, I try to to…
