Course Overview
The Advanced Microservices Architecture course from Open Source provides essential training for professionals seeking to master cloud-native design patterns and distributed systems. This program focuses on the technical competencies required for modern software architecture, covering topics such as SAGA, CQRS, and event-driven choreography. While this curriculum is not a substitute for AZ-104 training, it offers a vendor-neutral approach to building scalable systems. Participants gain practical experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and observability tools, preparing them for the proprietary Certified Microservice Architect credential, which validates expertise in service autonomy and distributed system design.
Students engage with core technologies including Docker, Kubernetes, Apache Kafka, Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry, mastering their integration within production-grade environments. The hands-on lab component, delivered through a local Kubernetes cluster using Docker Desktop and Minikube, requires learners to build and deploy a full event-driven ordering system comprising four interconnected microservices. Participants implement the SAGA pattern for distributed transactions, configure service meshes for inter-service communication, and establish observability using the LGTM stack. A capstone project involves deploying the entire system on a local cluster with Helm charts and GitOps workflows, simulating enterprise deployment pipelines.
This course prepares candidates for the proprietary Certified Microservice Architect credential, which validates expertise in containerization, service autonomy, and cloud-native design principles. According to industry benchmarks from sources like Glassdoor, cloud architects typically earn between $130,000 and $180,000 annually depending on experience and location. Open Source provides structured, instructor-led training that ensures learners gain the strategic and technical proficiency to lead digital transformation initiatives. Graduates are well-positioned for leadership roles in cloud architecture, enabling them to drive innovation and manage high-scale distributed systems in complex enterprise environments.
Prerequisites
