Introduction
One in every of my private {and professional} objectives for 2019 was to get a certification of some sort. That is a
pretty broad requirement with no actual reasoning behind it. I needed to be taught one thing and I needed it
to be useful at work. Because the yr quickly entered the previous few months, I noticed I not finished something
to achieve the purpose.
After a quick discuss with my administration, it was determined that I ought to get an AWS certification. It’d assist
the corporate out with some work we’re doing to turn out to be an AWS associate, and I might get a certification that may
be helpful.
With a learn purpose, I got down to be taught one thing. I began by discovering Final AWS Licensed Developer Affiliate 2019
on Udemy. On the time I am posting this entry, the course has been up to date to be helpful for 2020. It is at all times a superb signal
that the creator is constantly updating their supplies. This course was created by Stephane Maarek, who additionally
holds the certification that’s being taught about.
Course Overview
This course is a 19 hour overview of most of AWS. At first I believed that size was extreme, but it surely seems
that 19 hours is not sufficient. This course is targeted solely on the AWS merchandise that you might want to know for the DVA-C01
certification. There’s…rather a lot to know.
The supplies undergo the right way to use AWS’s free tier for nearly all the work wanted for the course. The only a few
areas that may’t make the most of the free tier are explicitly referred to as out, so you do not find yourself with shock AWS payments.
I extremely suggest you put aside the time to undergo this course and the observe checks. Then, I like to recommend
that you just do it once more. AWS has a ton of providers with three letter names. You might want to understand how these work
and work together with each other. You might want to know the right way to troubleshoot them, set them up, and scale them.
One cross by way of this course wasn’t sufficient for me. I do not blame the teacher although. I blame the expansiveness of
the check.
The observe questions had been similar to what questions regarded like on the true examination. The ideas that had been
coated had been useful in answering just a few others.
Conclusion
If (when?) I am going for the following degree of certifications in Amazon, I will be in search of extra programs from this creator.
The course could be very properly constructed, very arms on, and clearly up to date to remain related.
In November, I took my examination and handed on the primary attempt.
I’ve different skilled objectives for subsequent yr, but when I resolve to go for one more AWS certification, I will
be in search of one other course by Stephane Maarek.
