Since architectural solutions may differ depending on industry, type of applications and size of business, this course emphasizes AWS cloud best practices and recommended design patterns to help students think through the process of architecting optimal cost-effective IT solutions on AWS. Since AWS introduces more than 1,400 new features and services annually, it is critical that you are proficient with the most recent innovations.

TristanArchitecting on AWS The lessons were perfectly handled. Using AWS labs made it especially interesting. I had a really good experience here & I'd recommend ICE Malta to absolutely anyone.
Mr Thake I felt that it was a very educational and fun experience which enhanced my knowledge about gaming. I was inspired. It was great, getting to know other people who I never met before. There was a time for everything - we worked, we played and we cracked jokes together. Probably the best computer institution on the Maltese Islands. There was a stimulating environment and instead of letting summer go by I was productive from a creative point of view. A fantastic adventure!
KayneGraphic Designer Associate Very nice online learning experience and very helpful lecturer!
