Description

If you are an experienced network professional with a strong foundation in network fundamentals, and you are looking to enhance your skills and expertise in designing and deploying large-scale AWS networks, this advanced networking course is perfect for you. With a focus on network resiliency, security, scalability, infrastructure as code (IaC), and automation, this course covers everything you need to know to become an expert in designing and deploying highly secure and high-performance networks in the cloud for large organizations.It is important that you have a solid understanding of basic networking concepts before enrolling in this course, as the content covered is advanced and assumes prior knowledge of networking fundamentals. The following is the full list of prerequisites and required level:1. Palo alto next-generation firewalls (NGFWs): professional level.2. Networking fundamentals: professional level.3. AWS networking: beginner level.4. Terraform: beginner level.5. Python: beginner level.If you meet these prerequisites, then this course will take your network design and deployment skills to the next level.Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:1. Design and deploy a proven large-scale AWS network design completely through code.2. Design on-prem connectivity solutions.3. Deploy Palo Alto next-generation firewalls in AWS transit VPCs through terraform and python scripts.4. Bootstrap Palo Alto next-generation firewalls in AWS auto-scaling groups.5. Some python network/Palo alto operational scripts.6. Terraform modules for transit and spoke VPCs.7. Terraform module for transit gateway peering.
