Attention! This article is not technical in nature and is intended for readers interested in education in the field of cloud solutions development and support. Most likely, if you are not interested in training, this material will not appeal to you.

Not long ago, the word 'cloud' brought to mind a weather phenomenon, but now most people associate it with cloud storage. Today, some of the most in-demand and highly paid specialists are those with knowledge in Agile development and cloud solutions architecture.

Otus has launched a course — best practices for the development and support of cloud solutions based on a real organizational transformation project and recommendations from the Well-Architected Framework. The course is primarily aimed at architects and developers but also facilitates the development of Cloud Native specialists in the following profiles:
- IT / Software Architects
- Developers and DevOps engineers
- Network and system administrators
- Information security specialists
- Managers and Team Leads
A few days ago, an open lesson for this course took place, where students studied the architecture design of the Cloud Landing Zone domain and reviewed architectural templates for key domains. You can view it in the recording to understand the format of the training and get acquainted with the instructor.

And on December 18 at 20:00 , during which the instructor Vladimir Gutorov will answer all questions about the ‘Cloud Solution Architecture’ course, provide more details on the course program, as well as the skills and competencies that students will develop by the end of the training. Vladimir Gutorov is a Cloud Architect and consultant at Nordcloud. He leads the CI/CD team at Husqvarna Group in Sweden and has over 20 years of experience in developing and implementing complex End-to-End IT solutions.
To enroll in the course , you need to have the following knowledge:
- Experience in developing and/or maintaining applications, preferably in DevOps Agile
- Experience with at least one cloud provider — Azure, GCP, AWS, etc.
You can take an entrance test to determine if your knowledge and skills are sufficient for the training.
The course is based on a real project that transforms a company's department by shifting from the traditional Waterfall model of developing monolithic applications in its own data center to an Agile DevOps model, utilizing a multi-cloud environment (AWS + Azure + GCP) and distributed Cloud Native microservices and Serverless applications.
Upon completion you will learn how to manage an Agile SCRUM project for the development and evolution of cloud solution architectures, and you will be able to create cloud solution architectures (Infrastructure as Code) that adhere to the principles of the Well-Architected Framework—optimizing business processes, security, reliability, high performance, and cost efficiency. Additionally, you will receive a certificate of course completion, and the most successful students will be invited for interviews with the most sought-after IT companies.
