Module Overview

Now that you understand what the cloud is, it's time to learn how to think about it. This module covers the strategic frameworks and design principles that guide every good cloud decision.

  1. The 6 Advantages of Cloud Computing: AWS's official framework for why organizations move to the cloud.
  2. Cloud Architecture Design Principles: The rules of thumb — design for failure, decouple components, think parallel, and more.

By the end of this module, you'll have the conceptual toolkit to evaluate any cloud architecture decision — before you learn a single AWS service name.
