AWS BADGE
WHAT IS AWS?
AWS is one of the cloud computing platforms that offers organizational tools such as computing power, database storage and content delivery services. It involves the offering of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and also Software as a Service (SaaS).
HOW DO I EARN MY AWS BADGE?
To earn the AWS Badge, I need to complete all 10 modules that involve the use of specific applications in AWS in creating a better cloud services infrastructure. To complete the module, I had to watch some videos related to the topic and there were also some lab exercises to help me understand more about the topic. At the end of the module, I have to complete a knowledge check of the module to test my understanding of the topics discussed in the video.
MY JOURNEY AND REFLECTIONS IN COMPLETING ALL 10 MODULES
Actually, it is not easy to complete all the modules because I have to spend at least 20 hours to complete all ten modules. With assignments and other subject tests, I found it difficult for me to manage and find the best time to complete all the modules. But with words of encouragement from my lecturer, Dr. Azurah Binti A Samah who told us to complete it immediately so that we could focus on other assignments, it encouraged me a lot to complete at least one module a day and finally, I managed to complete all the modules on 1st January 2022 which is 21 days earlier than the submission date. The most difficult module for me was module 6 because there were so many models mentioned. It also played with my mentality as this module is the longest module compared to other modules and a lot of time I have to allocate to complete it. After completing all 10 modules, I learned a lot especially about the use of some applications in AWS and how to implement them in cloud computing systems. After completing this badge, I would like to increase my knowledge of cloud computing as well as many other 4th IR technologies as it is very useful in this technology era and also in my course as it involves Computer Science. In fact, I am very thankful that the AWS badge is included in the SECP1513 subject as it helps in giving us an idea of what cloud computing looks like and how to implement it in the assignments given in this subject.
MY OPINION AND ENCOURAGEMENT
I personally think that these badges actually help a lot especially when we are in the industry later on. Employers may look at our experience and skills, and this AWS certification is one of the advantages to us as it showcases our certification status in cloud computing. UTM students are also encouraged to get this badge as it is important in line with current technological developments. For anyone who has not yet completed this badge, I encourage you all to complete it as it may benefit you later on both in the next project and also in the industry later on. In my opinion, all companies also should switch to cloud computing system because it is economical, easy to access all cloud data via mobile as well as many other benefits to be gained when using it.
