Cloud Operations on AWS (Systems Operations on AWS) Training in Global

The Cloud Operations on AWS Training course provides system administrators, cloud operators, and IT professionals with the knowledge and hands-on experience required to manage, automate, monitor, and optimise cloud infrastructure on AWS. Aligned with the Operational Excellence pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework, the course focuses on the tools, processes, and best practices used to operate modern cloud environments efficiently.

Participants will learn how to use services such as AWS Systems Manager, AWS CloudFormation, Amazon CloudWatch, AWS CloudTrail, AWS Config, Amazon Route 53, and Elastic Load Balancing to automate infrastructure management, monitor system health, improve security, and optimise operational performance. The course also covers key topics including high availability, scalability, networking, backup and recovery, and cost optimisation.

Through hands-on labs and real-world scenarios, learners will gain practical experience managing secure, resilient, and high-performing AWS environments while applying automation and operational best practices across cloud infrastructure workloads.

Participants should have:

• A background in systems administration or software development
• Experience with Linux shell scripting, CMD, or PowerShell
• Basic knowledge of TCP/IP and HTTP protocols
• Completion of AWS Technical Essentials is recommended

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
