A summary of what I have gained from completing the course.
Overall, this course took me nearly one month to complete this course and what I gained from completing the course is that I acquired a clearer picture of cloud computing. From not knowing the word itself, I get to know its contexts. Plus, I learned how AWS worked and understood the advantages that AWS cloud computing can give entrepreneurs. For instance, instead of purchasing, operating, and maintaining physical data centres and servers, entrepreneurs can rent computing power, storage, and databases from a cloud provider on an as-needed basis.
My motivation to complete this project.
For me, this project is quite a lengthy project. I break it up into minor parts and plan the assignment thoroughly to complete it. But overall, the one that leads me to complete this badge is to gain marks and conclude this course successfully.
My opinion on this badge difficulty.
In my opinion, getting the badge was easy as the AWS website gives a lot of clear guidance on what to do. However, in my opinion, understanding the contexts of cloud computing is a bit difficult. Many unfamiliar words keep appearing in the tutorial video that sometimes I have difficulty understanding. Nevertheless, they explained it very well in simple words that I could understand. Plus, the most accessible module I had completed was module 3. I would say this because it is the shortest module and the term words in there are not that difficult for me to understand. The challenge of the unfamiliar words may be that I do not have any basics of cloud computing.
On the other hand, module 6 was the most complex of the courses. It is because it is the longest and there is a lot of activity needed. In this module also, I need to be able to classify which AWS compute services need to be used in a specific situation.
A badge's worth.
While there are many advantages to AWS certifications, I would be honest that the most value is seen where certification could lead to a better job and higher money. However, I cannot be satisfied with that because the badges will not guarantee the dream career I want. This certification or badge may help me land interviews and may even help me land positions.
Feedback on getting the badge.
Indeed, it broadens my knowledge and skills in cloud computing. Before starting this course, I didn't even understand or know cloud computing. But, thanks to this course, I could understand it, and I had a chance to do a project that included cloud computing. This helped me better understand the purpose of cloud computing.
My opinion on whether every company should shift to cloud computing.
In my opinion, for them to improve their operations, businesses invest a lot of money creating and implementing software. Here, cloud computing helps their company use the software as a service through the Internet instead of building the system physically. Cloud computing is also a secure method to store their company data and share the data. Moving to the cloud will boost their company's competitiveness and flexibility, improve disaster recovery plans, protect your critical data, and save you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.
I think every computer science or UTM student should learn cloud computing.
From my perspective, every science computer student should learn or get the AWS badge after I experience the course. It could strengthen their base and help them understand the trend in technology prospects. It also contains a lot of advantages to a student itself, so why not give it a try, right?
Advice to my friends who have not gotten their AWS badge yet.
To those who did not get the AWS badge yet, grab the chance faster. Upgrade and expand your knowledge to stay competitive in this industry. AWS badge was one of the SECP1513 lessons; this means you could get it for free, so why not start something to upgrade yourself and help to fulfil your resume later.
My direction after completing the badge.
After completing the badge, I would say that I need to gain more knowledge about the cloud computing world to secure a career in the future. The AWS badge already provides the base; therefore, I need to build up the path myself.
My opinion about getting the AWS badge is concluded in the SECP1513 course.
It is a great way to persuade the students to learn cloud computing. At the same time, it allows the students to understand better the trend playing around the technological world. Plus, the students also gain extra help from their respective lecturers to help them complete the badge.
