Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Amazon CloudWatch training objectives

  • Master Amazon CloudWatch to publish business metrics and configure operational composite alarms in enterprise environments
  • Distinguish between standard, detailed and custom metrics to optimize ingestion costs
  • Configure percentile-based alarms and composite alarms to reduce noise and false alerts
  • Handle missing data points and link every alarm to documented, tested actions
  • Validate every monitoring setup by simulating real failures such as zone outages or quota limits
  • Calculate ingestion costs before any broad rollout in a production environment

Program

Amazon CloudWatch curriculum: 3 modules over 3 days

Module 1 : Standard, Detailed and Custom Metrics (CloudWatch, AWS SDK)

Analysis of the three metric types and their impact on costs. Publishing a business metric from an application without multiplying API calls. Practical exercises on concrete AWS scenarios. Calculation of ingestion volume before deployment. Deliverables: publication scripts and projected cost table.

Module 2 : Percentile-Based Alarms and Composite Alarms (CloudWatch Alarms)

Designing alarms based on percentiles rather than averages to detect real spikes. Creating composite alarms to filter noise. Testing by intentionally breaking monitored services. Documenting thresholds and associated actions. Deliverables: ready-to-use alarm set and runbook.

Module 3 : Missing Data Handling and Robust Monitoring (CloudWatch, SNS)

Managing missing data points that cause false alarms. Integrating automated actions and SNS notifications. Full validation of monitoring setups in a degraded environment. Review of best practices and final costs. Deliverables: documented and tested monitoring architecture.

How Amazon CloudWatch skills are assessed

  • Practical exercises on a degraded AWS environment
  • Group review of designed alarms and metrics
  • Self-assessment of acquired skills

How the Amazon CloudWatch course is taught

  • Hands-on workshops using real-world cases
  • Induced failure testing
  • Cost calculation and optimization
  • Alarm and action documentation

Amazon CloudWatch training: access and practical arrangements

The Training Amazon CloudWatch - Effective Metrics and Alarms program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Amazon CloudWatch training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
