This video is the resource I wish I had when I was trying to get started learning AWS over 10 years ago.
After nearly a decade of being a software engineer at Amazon, this video contains advice on how I would approach learning AWS in 2023. First, we cover some basic pre-requisite knowledge and fundamental concepts / AWS services you need to learn in order to be successful in the cloud. From there, I discuss my framework for accelerating the speed in which you can learn and apply AWS to real life problems. Finally, I wrap things up with some important resources/tips that every aspiring AWS student should know about.

At 8:11 "There are like 250 AWS services and no one knows them all, I don't know them all. I know about 50 or so but they're the important 50" This is absolute gold and is also reassuring as someone who is learning the AWS ecosystem. Cheers and thank you for the great content

Found this to be a great primer of where to start. Only change I would make is to expand Compute section enough to know the difference between EC2, ECS, EKS, and Lambdas. Don't need to go deep, just what is the difference. Basically it hits a lot of the buzzwords that people are asking about, and identifies what the differences are.

@Desmond8709 5 месяцев назад

I agree with you about the experience part but from my 20 years in IT support those certs get you into the interview to get the chance to show your skills. Folks at the end of the day if you are trying to break into the field or level up, you're going to need both. And if you can do that your confidence level will be so high that at your interview, skills test etc. will be so low stress that they may just hire you because of how cool and calm you are. (just my opinion but it works for me in the past)

Would definitely recommend doing certifications along with hands-on projects. In my experience, hands-on projects are great for learning HOW to do, whereas doing certifications gives you an understanding of WHY something behaves the way it does.

Certifications are good for people who can't work at AWS for ten years to learn AWS.

@Sindoku 4 месяца назад

You don’t need to work at AWS to use and learn AWS, mate. The certification is just a bunch of theory. It doesn’t truly translate to the real world other than one knowing theory but hardly ever actually applying it at all. That’s like reading about the theory behind a chess opening. You are fine as long as the opponent plays the exact moves you trained for, but as soon as you’re faced with a move you’ve never seen, you’re on your own again. That’s what real experience is, being able to figure out the scenarios you weren’t trained for, and also just using the stuff you did train for on real world projects instead of just in your head or some simulation.

@BeABetterDev 3 месяца назад

Hi there, congrats on joining! Message me @dggalati on slack to say hello when you arrive :) Learning CloudFormation/IaC just takes practice. You can watch some of the videos on my channel as a first step (I have some on CloudFormation/CDK). I would suggest setting up some very simple apps to get the hang of how things work. I unfortunately don't have any resource suggestions besides my own content but Im sure you could find some high quality RU-vid tutorials. For diagramming, the standard go-to tool is draw.io . Another good option is Excalidraw. In both of them you can import AWS resource icons and the drag/drop interface is super simple to use. Hope this helps and congrats again.
