I recently completed the AWS Cloud Practitioner Essential course through AWS Skill Builder, and it has opened my eyes to how cloud technology can truly reshape business strategy. During the learning process, I learned about some mind-blowing tools that in today's economy businesses need to do more with less and that's exactly where cloud makes the difference.
Cloud Computing isn't just servers somewhere else. It's a strategic tool for reducing cost, increasing agility, and driving innovation. This applied to all business levels.
Here are some of the key things I learned.
1. Owning infrastructure to Renting What you Need. instead of CapEx(capital expenses), companies use OpEx(operational expenses) pay only for what you use.
2. Global infrastructure Built for Resilience. With the use of AWS Regions, Availability Zones and Edge Locations. This designs high Availability by default something that would cost millions to replicate traditionally.
3. AWS Services like EC2(Elastic Compute Cloud), S3(simple storage service), RDS( Relational Database Service), Lambda(serverless compute) and CloudFront(CDN).Just to list some few. This wasn't just naming services it was training me to think in terms of solution.
4. Shared Responsibility Models. Here AWS secure resources of the Cloud this include handling of physical security such as hardware and networking. while the Customer secure resources in the Cloud such as data configurations, encryption and control access policies.
Looking forward in practising my knowledge in building mini projects with the various services and tools that AWS offers.
AWS isn't about servers it's about possibilities.
