Reflection
The whole journey of gaining AWS journey was fun as I didn’t expect that I’d be given a chance to learn something beyond the classroom for FREE! I first gained the idea of cloud computing few years ago when my friends and I were discussing about the current technology. By that time, I didn’t understand much about it as we were just casually mentioning about the topic. And then it comes to our first industrial talk in Technology and Information System lecture, I got an even clearer image about cloud computing.
The knowledge of cloud computing is indeed important as the world today is hugely depending on the Internet. Data and information are getting accumulated therefore cloud service appeared as a great solution, therefore traditional companies are especially advised to transform their business into online mode by implementing cloud computing technology. This course consists of 10 modules and each requires quite some time to complete. My motivation towards completing the modules is to gain more knowledge. To be honest, the topics included in the course were easy at first, but it gets more difficult later on and so I need to spend more time to digest it. The badge was worth it and it feels rewarding after putting in effort to accomplish the task. In fact, Computer Science students should be given the opportunity to learn cloud computing as well as to gain the AWS badge because the course really does benefit us.
I plan to do further research on topic like cloud security as cybersecurity is now one of the crucial issues to be discussed in this digital world. In short, the idea of including AWS cloud computing modules in SECP1513 is amazing as it provides extra knowledge to all the students here.
