Course Curriculum
Monitoring, Logging, & Remediation +
Master the eyes and ears of your AWS environment. Learn to implement granular metrics, alarms, and filters using Amazon CloudWatch and CloudTrail. Go beyond monitoring to remediation: use Amazon EventBridge and AWS Systems Manager (SSM) Automation runbooks to take corrective actions automatically based on system health events.
Reliability & Business Continuity +
Architect for 99.99% uptime. Master the implementation of high availability across Multi-AZ deployments for EC2, RDS, and Aurora. Learn to automate backup and restore strategies using AWS Backup, manage S3 lifecycle rules for data durability, and implement sophisticated Route 53 failover policies to ensure zero downtime.
Deployment, Provisioning, & Automation +
Eliminate manual errors with Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Master AWS CloudFormation for provisioning and maintaining resources. This module covers advanced deployment strategies, including Blue/Green and Canary releases, and teaches you to use AWS OpsWorks and Systems Manager for automated patch management and configuration.
Networking & Content Delivery +
Engineer secure and efficient connectivity. Gain a deep understanding of VPC configurations, including subnets, route tables, Network ACLs, and Security Groups. Learn to troubleshoot connectivity issues, manage Amazon CloudFront distributions for global content delivery, and configure Route 53 Resolvers for hybrid cloud networking.
Security, Compliance, & Cost Optimization +
Secure the enterprise while controlling spend. Master IAM features like permission boundaries and MFA, and implement data protection using AWS KMS and Secrets Manager. Simultaneously, learn to optimize costs using AWS Budgets, Cost Explorer, and the AWS Compute Optimizer to identify and decommission underutilized resources.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SysOps and the new CloudOps Engineer name?
In 2026, AWS is officially rebranding the SysOps Associate to the AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer – Associate. While the core operational domains remain similar, the updated curriculum places a significantly heavier emphasis on "CloudOps" principles: automation, observability, and self-healing infrastructure, moving away from legacy "manual" system administration.
Are there exam labs included in the SOA-C02 exam?
As of recent updates, AWS has temporarily removed the lab component from the live exam while they optimize the experience. However, the DiviTrain curriculum continues to feature intensive hands-on labs because operational expertise cannot be learned through multiple-choice questions alone. You will still practice building and troubleshooting in real AWS sandboxes.
How does this differ from the Solutions Architect Associate?
Solutions Architects (SAA-C03) focus on "Designing" the blueprint. SysOps/CloudOps Engineers (SOA-C02) focus on "Running" the building. While the Architect chooses the services, the SysOps Admin is responsible for monitoring them, troubleshooting failures, automating updates, and managing the monthly bill.
What is the recommended experience level for this course?
AWS recommends at least one year of hands-on experience in a systems operations role. If you have already completed the Cloud Practitioner or Solutions Architect Associate, you will find this course to be a natural—though much more technical—progression into the world of cloud operations.
