AI-First Well-Architected Systems: Designing Cloud & AI Architectures- Full Day
In this full-day hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to design and build systems that are AI-ready, cloud-native, and built to scale. Leveraging the latest from AWS’s Generative AI Lens, Salesforce’s Well-Architected for Data Cloud & Einstein, and other frameworks (Azure, Google Cloud, Databricks), you’ll gain the patterns, tools, and trade-offs to create resilient, efficient, and secure AI + cloud architectures.
Whether you're deploying inference APIs, building agentic systems, or transforming legacy workloads—walk away with design strategies and architecture playbooks you can apply immediately.
Audience Fit:
Cloud Architects → Apply WA pillars to AI workloads
AI/ML Engineers → Build inference & training pipelines with resiliency
DevOps/SRE → Implement observability, failover, scaling, and FinOps
Engineering Leaders → Drive org-wide adoption of AI-ready patterns
Workshop Method:
Level 1: Core WA pillars applied to AI
Level 2: Case studies + trade-off exercises (e.g., GPU cost vs latency, caching vs model freshness)
Hands-on: Group WA review of a sample AI system
Framework Coverage:
AWS: WA Generative AI Lens, Bedrock AgentCore, Prescriptive Guidance on agentic AI
Salesforce: Trusted / Easy / Adaptable + Einstein AI integrations
Google Cloud & Azure: AI/ML perspectives within WA frameworks
Databricks: Well-Architected Lakehouse guidance
