The Cloud & Infrastructure pathway is a rigorous 12-week specialisation designed to produce highly competent cloud engineers who can design, build, secure, and optimise cloud infrastructure at scale. This is not an introductory course — it is a deep-dive into the architectural and operational disciplines that companies hiring cloud engineers actually test for.

Participants will master AWS as the primary cloud platform (the world's #1 by market share), while gaining working knowledge of Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform — the multi-cloud fluency that separates mid-level from senior cloud engineers. The curriculum is built around the skills and tools that appear most frequently in cloud engineer job descriptions globally: advanced networking, infrastructure automation, cloud security, serverless architectures, managed databases, cost optimisation, and cloud-native application delivery.

Every module is grounded in real-world architecture scenarios. Participants will not just deploy resources — they will design systems, justify technical decisions, optimise costs, and build portfolio-ready infrastructure that they can walk through confidently in interviews.

Learning Outcomes

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

• Design and deploy production-grade, highly available architectures on AWS using industry best practices

• Build and manage advanced AWS networking including multi-VPC designs, Transit Gateway, VPN, and Direct Connect concepts

• Architect multi-cloud solutions spanning Hetzner, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (Should be able to use with cloud provider)

• Provision and manage all cloud infrastructure using Terraform at enterprise scale with modules, workspaces, and remote state

• Design and implement serverless architectures using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, and EventBridge

• Configure and optimise managed database services including RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, and ElastiCache (backup restore, migrate)

• Implement comprehensive cloud security using IAM, SCPs, KMS, Secrets Manager, GuardDuty, Security Hub, and WAF

• Build fault-tolerant, globally distributed systems with Route 53, CloudFront CDN, and multi-region failover

• Architect cost-optimised cloud environments using Savings Plans, Spot Instances, right-sizing, and AWS Cost Explorer

• Implement cloud-native monitoring and observability using CloudWatch, CloudTrail, AWS Config, and third-party tools

• Design hybrid cloud architectures connecting on-premise data centres to cloud environments

• Prepare confidently for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate examination
