I received a badge, a completion certificate and gained extra knowledge about cloud computing through this course. What keep me motivated to complete this project is I had a group project (low fidelity prototypes) that require knowledge in AWS cloud computing services to make our cloud architecture and design. Because I am the group leader, I have to try my best to master the knowledge and lead my team members. I think getting the badge is quite hard for me because I have never learned anything about IT before and this is my first exposure to those technologies. The easiest module is Module 1 (Cloud Concepts Overview) and the hardest module is Module 6 (Compute). This badge improves my potential in industry because the knowledge of Cloud Computing is necessary for companies in the future to move their businesses to the cloud. We fresh graduates always have difficulty finding jobs because we do not have experience. But this badge proves that we have extra skills that are applicable in future jobs. Getting this badge improve my knowledge and skills on Cloud Computing a lot. The lessons in our textbook only touch the surfaces of Cloud Computing but AWS modules list and teach each of the cloud components in detail. Therefore, it strengthens my knowledge of Cloud Computing. I think every company should shift to Cloud Computing because it brings benefits to the business such as reducing operational costs, increasing efficiency and security. Every computer science student should get the AWS Badge as this is the basic knowledge acquired in the future. I will encourage my friends to get this badge as it helps to improve our values. After completing the badge, I will continue to explore more about cloud architecture and find out what is the most suitable job for me. It is really good for us the students to include this AWS badge in the SECP1513 subject as students can learn about AWS without extra charges.
