Introducing AWS global infrastructure

The AWS infrastructure is one of the most critical aspects of cloud computing, since many of the architectural and design decisions involve the use of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). The infrastructure layer comprehends physical locations where these locations operate abstracted by a service interface. As solutions architects, we must have a clear understanding of service design that improves the overall availability compared to traditional environments. You will learn how to implement recovery procedures and strategies that allow for the automatic self-healing of components to achieve business continuity, enabling the delivery of secure and reliable applications to end users.
