1. Introduction to AWS and cloud operations

• Cloud computing fundamentals: Concepts, service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), deployment models, and the benefits of cloud computing.
• AWS Global Infrastructure: Regions, Availability Zones, and Edge Locations.
• AWS Management Console, CLI, and SDKs: Understanding how to interact with AWS services.
• AWS Well-Architected Framework: Focusing on the Operational Excellence pillar for designing and operating robust systems. 

2. Monitoring, logging, and remediation

• Amazon CloudWatch: Setting up alarms, metrics, logs, and dashboards for monitoring AWS resources (e.g., EC2, RDS, Lambda).
• AWS CloudTrail: Auditing API calls and logging activity in your AWS account for security and troubleshooting.
• VPC Flow Logs: Monitoring network traffic within VPCs.
• Remediation and automation: Using CloudWatch events, AWS Lambda, and other services for automated responses to operational issues. 

3. Reliability and business continuity

• High availability (HA) and fault tolerance: Designing architectures with multi-AZ deployments, Elastic Load Balancing, and Auto Scaling.
• Disaster recovery (DR): Implementing backup and recovery strategies using services like AWS Backup, Amazon S3, and RDS snapshots.
• Auto Scaling: Configuring Auto Scaling groups for EC2 instances based on demand.
• Elastic Load Balancing (ELB): Using ALB, NLB, and GWLB for traffic distribution. 

4. Deployment, provisioning, and automation

• AWS CloudFormation: Using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to define and provision AWS resources through templates.
• AWS Elastic Beanstalk: Deploying and managing web applications without provisioning infrastructure.
• AWS Systems Manager (SSM): Automating operational tasks like patching, software installation, and configuration management.
• Amazon Machine Images (AMIs): Creating and managing custom images for EC2 instances. 

5. Security and compliance

• AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM): Managing users, groups, roles, and policies for secure access to AWS resources.
• Security best practices: Implementing security controls like security groups, Network Access Control Lists (NACLs), and encryption.
• AWS Config: Auditing resource configurations for compliance.
• AWS Key Management Service (KMS): Managing encryption keys.
• AWS Shield and WAF: Protecting applications against DDoS attacks and filtering malicious traffic. 

6. Networking and content delivery

• Virtual Private Cloud (VPC): Designing and configuring secure and isolated networks on AWS.
• Subnets, Route Tables, Internet Gateway, NAT Gateway: Understanding VPC components for network connectivity.
• Amazon Route 53: Managing DNS services and configuring traffic routing policies.
• Amazon CloudFront: Optimizing content delivery and reducing latency with a CDN. 

7. Cost and performance optimization

• AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets: Monitoring and managing AWS costs.
• AWS Compute Optimizer: Identifying optimal EC2 instance types.
• AWS Trusted Advisor: Receiving recommendations for cost optimization, performance, security, and fault tolerance.
• Resource optimization: Implementing strategies like using Reserved Instances or Spot Instances for cost savings. 

AWS SysOps Administrator courses typically involve a combination of:

• Lectures and presentations on theoretical concepts and AWS services.
• Hands-on labs and practical exercises to reinforce learning and build skills.
• Case studies and real-world scenarios to apply knowledge in practical situations.
• Troubleshooting exercises and discussions to develop problem-solving skills.
