My Journey with AWS
Report
How did I get the badge?
Everyone who studies computer science in UTM is given an account in AWS academy. I was required to finish this offline course as an assessment, but it wasn't all about the marks. I am curios how cloud computing works and taking this course gave me an overview about it. So as soon as I finished the course I got my badge.
When did I start?
Even though the course was given to us in the beginning of the semester, I only started in the mid semester break. I wanted to clear my mind and just focus on one thing at a time. I finished 5 modules during that week, and the last 5 modules I distribute them throughout the semester.

What is after this course?
I am planning to have an overview about Microsoft Azure, then decide what suites my goals better. After that, be an expert in one of them, or maybe both!
