In my opinion, every company should shift to Cloud Computing because it brings many benefits to the company. For example, by using cloud computing, the company can reduce costs in their business. The company needs only to pay for the services procured. Furthermore, storing data in the cloud is safer rather than using physical servers.

They can access the data from any location as long as they have internet.

My AWS Journey
I never heard about amazon web services before this and have no idea about cloud computing. It started when I entered Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) and my lecturer asked their student to complete the AWS assessment. I was a bit confused about the instructions at first and after asking my friends, I get the idea of how to complete the assessment. I started my first module in November and the level of hardness increased by modules. The process of learning is easy as it provides us with video, a student guide, and lab exercises. Some modules are challenging me as it requires a high understanding, but I managed to complete all ten modules. I also just found out that we will receive the certificate after we complete all ten modules. It helps me to complete the assessment before the deadline. I managed to complete the modules at the end of December which take me about two months. The badge is simple but means a lot for my future.
