Solutions Architect Associate
Solutions Architect Associate — Scenario Core
A structured path through associate-level domains with weekly architecture walkthroughs and graded lab checkpoints.
Duration: 8 weeks · Format: Cohort with async labs · Price: 189,000 KRW (informational; no checkout here)
Overview
This path is built for learners who already touched AWS consoles but struggle to connect services into coherent designs. Each module pairs a short reading set with a hands-on brief you submit for mentor review. We emphasize trade-offs, operational boundaries, and how requirements ripple through networking, identity, and storage choices. The capstone is a multi-service design you defend in writing, mirroring the style of professional review notes rather than multiple-choice drills alone.
What is included

FAQ
Do I need prior AWS certification?
No. You should be comfortable with core services at a practitioner level. If you are brand new, we recommend our shorter orientation module first (not included in this tier).
Are live sessions recorded?
Yes, recordings stay available for the cohort window. Peer breakout rooms are not recorded to keep discussions candid.
Learner notes
The week-four fault-isolation lab finally made transit gateways click for me. I would still like one more session on edge caching patterns.
Mentor comments on my VPC layout were blunt in a useful way—pointed at coupling I had copied from an old template.
