MOHAMMAD SUHAIB ABDULLAH's Reflection /
Reflection of AWS Badge

A.summary of what you have gained from completing the course (get a badge)

Throughout this AWS course I have a lot of things about cloud services and how they work. Specially about aws cloud service as they gave us tutorial about many of their services like AWS Lambda, Amazon EC2.AWS EBS and more.

  1. Your motivation to complete this project?

My main motivation throughout this AWS course was to learn as much as can about cloud services. Cause it will come in handy sooner or later.

  1. Your opinion whether getting the badge is easy or difficult? Which modul is the easiest/most difficult?

Getting the badge was not that hard. It took a long time to complete but it was worth it. For me the easiest module was from module 1-3 cause they didn’t have any lab and these 3 module was just  introduction to cloud services, AWS cost & bill management and about their global infrastructure.

  1. What’s a badge worth?

Since they gave us a badge for completing this course of course it has its value. It shows that we have enough knowledge to work with a cloud services.

  1. Feedback whether getting the badge improve your knowledge and skills on Cloud Computing

Of course getting the badge improved my knowledge about cloud computing. Before I only knew about the definition of how a cloud services work but while getting this badge I got to see how actually the cloud computing works and why it is more convenient for companies.

  1. Your opinion whether every company should shift to Cloud Computing?

I think it depends on the company’s business and its size. But I would suggest them to move to cloud computing as it reduces a lot of the cost. So, they can use the saved money on other resourses.

  1. Your opinion whether every computer science/UTM student should learn Cloud Computing (get the AWS badge?).

I think every computer science student should learn about cloud computing. As they are the future entrepreneur so when they open their own company they can use cloud services easily. Also knowledge is power so learning about cloud computing will help them sooner or later.

  1. Any advice to your friends who have not get the AWS badge yet?

I would advise them to complete this course and get the badge. You don’t have to do it all at once. You can just learn 1 module per week if you are struggling with your studies. Also better to do it in semester break then you won’t have worry about attending class or completing assignments.

  1. What is your direction after completing the badge?

After completing the badge I am more interested about cloud computing. So I would like to do some research and gain more knowledge about it. Also when I build a company or a business of my own I will surely use cloude services as it has its perks.

  1. Your opinion about getting the AWS badge that is included in SECP1513 subject?

SECP-1513 had too much assignment to be honest and to add a completely another course is too much load for the students because they have other courses to worry about. But overall this AWS course was usefull. I would just say that if they reduced the No of assignments than including the aws badge with the course is all right.
