Benefits

Analyzing a monolithic application architecture to determine logical or programmatic break points where the application can be broken up across different AWS services
Applying Twelve-Factor Application manifesto concepts and steps while migrating from a monolithic architecture
Recommending the appropriate AWS services to develop a microservices based cloud native application
Using the AWS API, CLI, and SDKs to monitor and manage AWS services
Migrating a monolithic application to a microservices application using the 6 Rs of migration

AWS JAM Day will be featured on the final 4th day of this course, as a gamified event where you will be split into teams to compete in a series of best practice challenges based on concepts covered in the course. In addition to the hands-on labs of the ILT courses, an additional day of curated and instructor-facilitated challenges allows learners to use AWS Jam to address real-world scenarios, representing common operational and troubleshooting tasks relevant for your job role. You will be able to apply your knowledge in a safe and real AWS environment and score points if you solve the challenge correctly. The aim of an AWS Jam is to develop, improve, and validate your skills in the AWS cloud and get ready to use your practical skills when you are back on your daily job.
