What is this course about?

In this course, we will work together to create a production-ready, cloud-native VPC setup. By the end of this course, you will know all the important VPC components needed to run pure cloud applications. The course is designed to give you on-point practical knowledge as quickly as possible. It also covers all the relevant network topics for the AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam.

To achieve the goal, we build it up step by step. The theoretical basics are cleverly embedded in the practical process. The content consists of a complete set of slides, hands-on video material, some intermediate tests and a big final test.
