My Reflection on the AWS
A summary of what you have gained from completing the course (get a badge).
After completing this course, I have gained a lot of valuable knowledge about services provided by AWS, such as cloud economics and billing, cloud security, networking and content delivery, databases, storage and moreover. The course also introduces me to different AWS services such as Amazon DynamoDB for databases, AWS EC2 for compute, AWS S3 for storage, and more to go. Furthermore, this course provides the labs for me. Therefore, I can get in touch with AWS services practically.
Your motivation to complete this project?
My motivation to complete this project is based on the intense and crucial AWS that I am not used to. It is transferring me a lot of new and fresh knowledge that makes me very interested in what it will share in the next module. Apart from that, my lecturer's encouragement also encourages me to complete this project.
Your opinion on whether getting the badge is easy or difficult? Which module is the easiest/most difficult?
In my opinion, I will say it’s difficult to get the badge in the first place because I was not that interested in it earlier. On the other hand, I started to think that getting this badge is relatively easy if I focus on what it is sharing. At last, I think module 1, Cloud Concepts Overview, is the easiest because it only shares the basics of cloud computing and AWS and module 10, Auto Scaling and Monitoring, is the most difficult for me because I am stuck in lab 6 frequently.
What’s a badge worth?
This badge is worth valuable practical experience getting in touch with AWS and knowledge of new things. This badge will enhance me in my future career and motivate me to get advanced on the other badge.
Feedback whether getting the badge to improve your knowledge and skills on Cloud Computing.
From my point of view, getting the badge is making a vast and crucial improvement for my knowledge and skills on Cloud Computing. In the journey of getting the badge, the course shared a lot of knowledge, such as different functions and applications of AWS services on Cloud Computing. In addition, I was also able to hand-on practically on the lab and sandbox provided in various modules to improve my skills in Cloud Computing.
Your opinion on whether every company should shift to Cloud Computing?
In my opinion, every company should shift to Cloud Computing, especially the small and mid-size companies. This is because Cloud Computing by the well-known cloud service provider such as Amazon can provide a reasonable pricing and broad coverage of available zones. Cloud Computing will be a better choice than the traditional one for most companies in this modern age.
Your opinion whether every computer science/UTM student should learn Cloud Computing (get the AWS badge?).
In my view, I will recommend learning Cloud Computing especially getting the badge to every UTM student, not only computer science student only. This is because Cloud Computing will be one of the most influential hard skills in this technology era, and most of the country is also entering the Industrial Revolution 4.0.
Any advice to your friends who have not to get the AWS badge yet?
I will advise my friends who have not gotten the AWS badge yet to get it as soon as possible and focus 100% on what it is sharing.
What is your direction after completing the badge?
After completing the badge, I plan to get another badge like Data Analytics in year two or my sem break. Furthermore, I am also interested in learning about trends in technology such as Augmented Reality (AR).
Your opinion about getting the AWS badge that is included in the SECP1513 subject.
In my opinion, I am pretty surprised that getting the AWS badge is included in the SECP1513 subject in the first place. After I got the AWS badge, I started to understand why it is included, and it is one of the most significant knowledge that I have learned in the SECP1513 subject.
