Opinions on Getting the Badge
Overall, the course to get the badge is quite difficult for me since I do not have much knowledge about cloud computing. Hence, it is somehow hard for me to understand some concepts inside but the teaching videos with detailed explanations helps me a lot to learn. The hardest module for me is module 6 -Compute because there are lots of things to learn about Amazon EC2 which may a bit complex for me. While the easiest module for me is module 8 -Databases because I knew some parts of knowledge about it before so it is easier for me to learn. However, the badge is worth earning since it provides detailed information and knowledge about cloud computing and there will be a fruitful outcome for those who get the badge.
Opinion on Whether Every Company Should Shift to Cloud Computing
Undeniably, cloud computing is one of the trend technologies which many companies switched their services on the cloud to rise the company growth as cloud computing not only has excellent accessibility and mobility, it reduces both hardware and software maintenance costs for organizations compared to traditional physical storage. However, there are some disadvantages to cloud computing like the data can only be accessed through the cloud by using the internet connection and thus these data cannot be accessed if you do not have good internet connectivity. Besides, security problems in cloud computing since companies are sending the organization's essential and confidential information to a third party (cloud computing service provider). However, I would like to recommend companies keep an eye out and be alert to shift to cloud computing regarding the advantages like costs and accessibility.
Opinion on Whether Every Computer Science/UTM Student Should Learn Cloud Computing (get the AWS badge)
Yes, I think it might be great for Computer Science students to learn cloud computing as it is one of the trend technologies in which many companies invest a lot in cloud services. And I believe almost all companies will apply cloud computing for their companies' growth in the future. Thus, students who earned knowledge about the cloud might be more favorable in their career path as companies might need employees who know about the cloud to help companies.
