[Deliverable: AWS Training & Certifications Digital Course Available for Customers, Partners, and Field, Blog Post]
Short Summary
This is my latest publication. After publishing the Well-Architected Foundation digital course last year and making it available for AWS customers and partners, I received feedback that the course is basic and doesn’t go into the details and advanced options. So, I took the lead on creating an advanced version of it. We called it Well-Architected for Enterprises. As the name implies, it’s designed to teach our customers how to do scale adoption of best practices for 100s of applications and show them what tools, programs, solutions available for them to do so.
The course took about 6 months to complete, including planning, assembling a team of SMEs and reviewers, creating the content, and developing knowledge checks. At the time of writing this post, the course has received positive feedback and has been taken by about 5k individuals.
Course Description
The course covers best practices for:
- Preparing and running Well-Architected Framework Reviews (WAFR).
- Providing interactive scenarios to identify and remediate architecture risks.
- Offering recommendations for building scalable mechanisms to use the Well-Architected Framework across multiple workloads and teams.

Furthermore, it explores how generative AI can be used to scale and streamline WAFRs.
