SUMMARY COMPLETING THE COURSE
It was a great experience for me after completing this AWS Academy Cloud Foundations [10813]. This renowned cloud service provider company provided a bunch of teaching videos that explain vividly every 10 modules. The modules encompass Cloud Concepts Overview, Cloud Economics and Billing, AWS Global Infrastructure Overview, AWS Cloud Security, Networking and Content Delivery, Compute, Storage, Databases, Cloud Architecture, and Auto Scaling and Monitoring. Those modules really equip us with a strong foundation for the functionality of cloud computing and its management process. Students' interests also will spark a deep exploration and understanding of this rapid pace of technology transformation.
Along with the theory and facts, this course also provides several lab exercises and demonstration videos where we can implement the knowledge that we learned to utilize the AWS services in appropriate circumstances. This approach of learning is proficient in strengthening the knowledge taught.
MOTIVATION ON THIS PROJECT
Instead of fulfilling my marks for this subject, things that ignite my motivation is how precious the value of the knowledge itself is. As a student that is studying in the field of computers and technologies, cloud computing is one of the basic foundations for me to equip myself. A variety of knowledge I have gained may help me to put myself bright among the employees and align myself with the recent industrial needs.
IS IT DIFFICULT OR EASY?
Yes, it's totally difficult to get the badge because I do not have a foundation in cloud computing and networking technologies. Thus, I need to read the slides provided (student guide) for each module even though I already spent hours watching the videos. In order to achieve the minimum score requirement, I need to have a clear understanding of the discussion about the topics.
THE BADGE WORTH
The badge came along with the knowledge I gained through the 10 completed modules and some lab exercises. This kind of opportunity needs everyone to grab a variety of skills that may outshine your potential and be specialized among the crowd. The AWS badge portrays your active involvement in another curriculum. It also gives self-satisfaction after lots of hours and days spent to understand and complete this Academy Cloud Foundations [10813] course. Each module has the minimum score requirement that requires us to vividly understand the discussion about the module.
FEEDBACK WHETHER GETTING THE BADGE IMPROVE MY KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS ON CLOUD COMPUTING
Absolutely, yes. This course really equipped me with an abundance of new things about cloud computing. Besides the security and the storage services implemented in the architecture, this cloud service provider also introduces machine learning and AI services, management tools, and analytics services which are really powerful in creating a smooth ecosystem on the cloud between the side of the server and client. Unfortunately, for the skill gained, I think I do not fully manage to do practical things related to cloud computing rather than the theory itself.
SHOULD A COMPANY SHIFT TO CLOUD COMPUTING
Even nowadays our life has been dominated by technology, there are benefits and risks when we as the end user consume them. Cloud computing is a brilliant innovation in transforming physical storage like huge mainframe computers to the virtual and serverless type.
From this point of view, we can say that the rapid transformation of technology has driven us into an easier lifestyle and management. Zero administration and less financial spend on physical infrastructure boost a company's productivity by focusing on provisioning at the other aspects.
Huge data loads flexibility, mobility, and collaboration can be enhanced dramatically along with the security concern that is the most significant element in this data management. To sum up, based on what I have learned and understood in this AWS course, the decision to shift to cloud computing relies on the company's needs and status like financial and networking.
ADVICE TO MY FRIENDS WHO HAVE NOT GET THE AWS BADGE YET
My advice to all my beloved friends who have not gotten the AWS Badge yet, you all should grab this precious opportunity! Besides collecting this AWS badge this AWS course comes along with an interesting teaching method and lots of hands-on self that you can try in the lab exercise.
DIRECTION AFTER COMPLETING THE BADGE
I think I still need to do exploration to achieve a great understanding of cloud computing. In order to apply the knowledge I've learned, it is important to empower those basics to correctly choose the AWS Services tools in suitable functionality.
OPINION ABOUT GETTING THE AWS BADGE THAT IS INCLUDED IN SECP1513 SUBJECT
In my opinion, AWS Academy Could Foundation has a great idea to provide students with external, reliable, and authentic resources about cloud computing. Rather than just learning the theory about the process and management of cloud computing, this course provides students with several lab exercises in real-life cloud computing management. Thus, the correlation between theory such as an explanation of a phenomenon occurring and practice like operation or experiment is the best means of learning should be provided.
This is one of the UTM initiatives that help students get more exposure to Cloud Computing. The AWS Academy has been allocated under the course, Technology and Information System. I feel great to have had this opportunity!
