AWS Reflection
All in all, I learned the depth concept of how AWS works throughout the journey in getting the AWS badges from the overview of the AWS. AWS, or Amazon Web Services, is a cloud platform that provides a wide range of cloud-based services throughout the world. AWS is a cloud computing service provider that provides a wide range of computer resources and processing power, such as storage, processors, databases, and networking. Application integration, augmented reality and virtual reality, migration and transfer, networking and content delivery, machine learning, database, business applications, storage, end-user computing, and many other services are available through AWS. AWS services are adaptable. Users have the option of reconfiguring and updating on demand, using automated scaling to fit consumption patterns and save money, or shutting down the system permanently or temporarily.
What motivates is AWS provide wide and in depth ranges of services to be used an apply in cloud computing. Learning the details and applied for practical make me want to gain more knowledge and finish the course. For me, the easier module is mode 7 which explains how to use Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS), and Amazon Simple Storage Service Glacier. This was achievable because the module demonstrates how to use the Amazon EBS console, Amazon S3 console, Amazon EFS console, and Amazon S3 Glacier console to demonstrate how to compute on AWS. I learnt a lot more about this module when I did the lab for Amazon EBS and the activities on the storage solution case study.
Although the badge only worthwhile, it reminds me that I have only learned the basic of cloud computing and drive me to learn more. However, having the badge does not make me expert in cloud computing. It is the step stone for me to increase my knowledge and skills more on cloud computing.
In my opinion, every company should shift to Cloud Computing as it provide a lot of benefit to the company and also the target customer of the company. In addition to that, I think every computer science student should explore the cloud computing by getting the AWS Badge as their first experience so that they took advantage and could explore more on how 4th Industrial Revolution works regarding cloud computing.
For those who have not received the AWS badge, it is not worrisome for not having it because there are a lot of way to learn and expert in cloud computing. However, AWS academy is one of the best way to explore the cloud computing as it benefits the student a lot.
After finishing this journey, I plan to revise back on this module and applied to real life so that I can be expert in the cloud computing as my goals is to know the security and network detail of computer architecture.
It is the best experiences I have ever achieved so far as getting the AWS badge is implement in SECP1513 Subject. However, it should not be a compulsory as having a big carry marks on the course as there are a lot of technology to be explore from the course
