AWS Architecture & DevOps Lab

LAB OVERVIEW

AWS Sandbox

IAM/VPC building blocks to advanced scenarios aligned with SAP-C02 & DOP-C02.

A hands-on AWS sandbox that connects architecture decisions with DevOps execution. You will build identity and networking foundations (IAM/VPC), then move into advanced scenarios around deployment strategies, rollbacks, observability and operational guardrails—skills that matter for AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional (SAP-C02) and AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional (DOP-C02).

What you get

Guided foundation tasks: IAM least privilege, VPC segmentation, routing basics
Architecture scenarios: shared services, resilience choices, failure domains
CI/CD drills: deploy, validate, rollback (canary/blue-green patterns)
Observability checklists: dashboards, alarms, meaningful signals
Decision notes: how exam questions phrase trade-offs and constraints

Lab scenarios

IAM access denied: isolate policy vs role trust vs permissions boundary issues
VPC reachability failures: route tables vs SG/NACL vs DNS triage
Deployment failure injection: trigger rollback using validation gates
Canary release with SLO-based alerts: reduce noise, detect real impact
Multi-account baseline: guardrails and separation of duties reasoning
Architecture drill: choose options under cost, compliance and RTO/RPO targets

How it works

Set up IAM and VPC fundamentals with verification steps.

Practice resilience, segmentation and operational guardrails.

Execute canary/blue-green deployments and prove rollback works.

Tune alarms/dashboards and write a mini postmortem improvement plan.

Access & environment

Browser-friendly lab guide with checkpoints
Rollback-safe steps (avoid costly mistakes)
Templates: release checklist, incident note, and validation script list
Pairs well with SAP-C02/DOP-C02 exam bank review

Prerequisites

Basic AWS familiarity (console and core services)
Understanding of networking and identity concepts
Comfortable following validation steps and troubleshooting

Outcomes

Stronger scenario reasoning for SAP-C02 and DOP-C02 style questions
Practical release safety habits: validation + rollback discipline
Faster isolation of AWS connectivity and permissions issues
Better ability to explain architecture decisions in interviews
