The AWS Cloud Architect Program: design and run real cloud infrastructure, from IAM and VPC to EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda and the Well-Architected Framework, on a live AWS account. Built around the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate exam and the NSQF Level 6 Cloud Infrastructure Analyst role, with placement support until you are hired.
AWS Cloud is Cokonet's AWS Cloud Architect Program: 80 to 85 hours of instructor-led training and hands-on labs across five modules, spread over about 4.5 months. You design and operate real AWS infrastructure, covering identity and account structure, VPC networking and high availability, compute, storage and databases, automation, serverless and monitoring, then the AWS Well-Architected Framework and a full capstone architecture you have to cost and defend. The program is aligned to the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate exam (SAA-C03) and to Cloud Infrastructure Analyst, QP Code SSC/Q8304, at NSQF Level 6. Learn classroom in Trivandrum, Kochi and Bengaluru, or online-live across Kerala and the Gulf.
Each module of the program declares its own outcome. Put together, they are the five things a hiring manager checks before they let you near a production account.
Understand cloud computing models, the AWS global infrastructure and the shared responsibility model, then design least-privilege IAM, multi-account structures with AWS Organizations, MFA, roles and cost controls.
Build secure, scalable and highly available AWS networks: custom VPCs, subnets, route tables, internet and NAT gateways, peering, VPN, endpoints, Route 53, CloudFront, security groups and network ACLs.
Run EC2 across Linux and Windows, manage EBS snapshots and AMIs, design S3 with versioning, lifecycle, replication and encryption, add EFS and AWS Backup, and stand up RDS, Aurora and DynamoDB.
Automate deployments with CloudFormation and Systems Manager, monitor with CloudWatch, CloudTrail and EventBridge, and build event-driven solutions with Lambda, SNS, SQS, API Gateway and Kinesis.
Apply all six Well-Architected pillars, produce an architecture diagram, estimate monthly cost in the AWS Pricing Calculator and present the design as if you were proposing it to a client.
Enterprises are still moving workloads out of their own data centres, and every migration needs someone who can design the target, not just click through a console. That designer role, the cloud architect, is where the shortage sits. NASSCOM has repeatedly flagged that a large share of Indian graduates are not job-ready in exactly these applied skills, which is why a hands-on architecture course beats another certificate of attendance.
Cloud migration and automation programmes are the stated demand driver through 2027 in the program brief for this course.
Aligned to Cloud Infrastructure Analyst, QP Code SSC/Q8304, under IT-ITeS SSC NASSCOM and NCVET.
The AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate exam is the benchmark most cloud job descriptions list first.
Architecture is a design discipline. You can enter from a non-programming background and still be genuinely employable, which is rare in tech.
AWS looks the same in Kochi, Dubai and London. The same account you build in class is the account an employer abroad expects you to reason about.
Architects who can defend a bill get promoted. Cost optimisation is a full pillar of the framework and a full section of this course.
AI can draft a template. Deciding the availability model, the blast radius and the recovery objective is still a human judgement call, and that is what you are trained in here.
The program is written for three groups: fresh graduates who need a first job that is not going to be automated away, career switchers moving in from support, networking, testing or non-IT roles, and working professionals who want the architect title rather than another tool.
Five modules, 85 hours, every one of them with hands-on labs and troubleshooting scenarios. Curriculum 5 · Projects 3 · Tools 12.

Build an event-driven image processing application: S3 events into Lambda, messaging with SNS and SQS, an API Gateway front door and CloudWatch alarms watching the whole thing.
One architecture spanning IAM, public and private subnets, NAT, EC2, Auto Scaling, ALB, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Route 53, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, Systems Manager, AWS Backup and WAF. You document it, diagram it, justify every decision, estimate the monthly cost and present it as a client proposal.
Your batch is led by a practising cloud engineer who designs and operates AWS infrastructure on live projects, so the troubleshooting labs come from real incidents rather than a textbook. A full-time Cokonet mentor supports the batch day to day, which matters when a lab breaks at 10pm.
Designs and operates production AWS environments for enterprise clients.
A senior cloud practitioner who spends the working week inside real AWS accounts. Your architecture reviews are run the way client design reviews are run, which is the point.
Your full-time Cokonet mentor for daily doubts, lab rescue and interview prep between the lead sessions.
Every graduate earns the Cokonet completion certificate, backed by a costed capstone architecture you can show. The official AWS exam is prepared for in Module 5, but booked and paid separately with AWS.
Issued on completion of all five modules, the two architecture design exercises and the capstone. Shareable on LinkedIn with a verifiable link. The program is aligned to Cloud Infrastructure Analyst, QP Code SSC/Q8304, at NSQF Level 6 under IT-ITeS SSC NASSCOM.
We prepare you for these during the course. The exams themselves are booked with AWS and charged separately.
The career track runs alongside the coursework from week one. Placement is not an afterthought here.
We map your profile to a specific target role: cloud engineer, cloud support, infrastructure analyst or associate architect.
Two architecture design exercises and one costed capstone, all documented and diagrammed so you have something to show.
Resume, LinkedIn and portfolio rebuilt to a professional rubric by the placement lead.
Hands-on refreshers and AWS labs on IAM, MFA and KMS challenges, plus real-world case studies before you interview.
Technical, HR and scenario-based rounds, recorded, with feedback you can act on.
Introductions through our corporate partners and AWS ecosystem firms, then negotiation and onboarding support.
We do not publish a placement percentage on this page, because a number without a verifiable denominator is not evidence. What we commit to is support until you are hired.
