Journey of getting AWS badge
Before watching the AWS module, I had no idea what cloud computing was. It's the first time I've heard of cloud computing. The AWS online course is divided into ten modules, each module covers a different topic, with the goal of introducing cloud computing and AWS services. I began watching the lesson on December 11th and finished three modules that day. On December 9th, I finished modules 4,5,6. Starting with module 7, the lessons grow more difficult, and it takes me one day to comprehend one module. I received an AWS badge after completing 10 modules on December 26.
The speaker in the course speak very clearly and is understandable. There is also a quiz at the end of every module which test our understanding. The quiz let me know I understand the topic or not. There is also lab to let us practice utilizing AWS service and strengthen our knowledge.
I have a better understanding of cloud computing after watching the first three modules. Cloud computing enables businesses to keep their data over the Internet without having to maintain and build physical servers, resulting in significant cost savings. Starting with module 4, I'm learning about the variety of AWS services available, including security, network, computing, storage, and database. This gives consumers more choice, and they may choose which services they desire. For example, if a customer requires long-term data storage for archive or compliance purposes, Amazon S3 Glacier is an option.
The AWS course is very helpful and let me get better understanding in cloud computing. We applied the cloud computing knowledge in our project by building a cloud architecture. The badge looks very simple and cool with the logo of AWS.
