This video course shows you how to combine your AWS and Terraform skills while highlighting real-world requirements to discuss the tradeoffs of various network implementation patterns. This course also details how to utilize a global network using different features to understand the complexity and tradeoffs of each decision. This video is full of hands-on demos so you can learn key skills in real time.

Topics included:

• Introduction and Scenario Details – explores the automation technologies including Terraform, as well as the AWS services required to implement resilience in the automation process.
• Single Region VPC Deployment – focuses on the single region network architecture. Start with diagramming the network infrastructure and dependencies to understand the resource deployment.
• Transit Gateway Deployment – covers the Transit Gateway option for connecting the regional networks, as well as the EC2 instances that will be deployed to validate connectivity.
• VPC Peering Deployment – focuses on the replacement of Transit Gateways with VPC peering connections and discusses the VPC peering architecture and implementation steps, as well as the differences required for routing network traffic.
• Global Network Summary – dives into a few important topics related to our network architecture. Discusses pricing considerations, Transit Gateway and VPC peering solutions.
