This 8-hour instructor-led course for government focuses on aligning software project execution with architectural strategy. Participants will learn to integrate architectural decisions with project goals using C4, UML, and Archimate, acquiring practical skills essential for modern development environments.

This program is structured to deliver a comprehensive mastery of software architecture principles and their strategic implementation within cloud environments, with a specific focus on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the Java language. The curriculum enables participants to design, engineer, and deploy scalable, resilient, and high-performance applications for government operations by leveraging AWS services and Java programming standards.

This practical three-day program provides a comprehensive introduction to modern cloud and software architecture. It integrates Azure cloud services with essential architectural principles for designing applications that are scalable, secure, resilient, and maintainable for government operations. Participants will examine Azure architecture, core services, disaster recovery strategies, Infrastructure as Code, and the critical role of the software architect.

The curriculum advances from Clean Architecture and monolithic modernization to Domain-Driven Design, CQRS, Event Sourcing, and microservices. Through hands-on labs utilizing Azure and .NET, participants will apply these concepts to real-world architectural scenarios, learning to make informed decisions based on both technical and business requirements.

As distributed systems increase in complexity, the focal point of architectural challenges shifts from individual applications to the collective architecture governing a suite of interconnected systems. This curriculum addresses the intersection of Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture, emphasizing the critical, yet often insufficiently documented, interdependence between these disciplines. For instance, decomposing a complex monolithic application into two distinct systems interacting via web services necessitates significant modifications to both the internal logic of the new components and the external architectural relationships connecting them.

This course will examine the strategic trade-offs involved in these decisions, reviewing prevailing patterns and solutions for managing complex system environments and the communication mechanisms operating within and across these frameworks, tailored for government operational standards.
