My AWS Journey

Recently, I felt an urge to learn about cloud computing, so I decided to explore AWS. The reason I chose AWS? It’s known to be beginner-friendly and one of the biggest cloud providers out there. Honestly, I just wanted to try something new. I began my journey with DataCamp but soon pivoted to exploring resources directly on the AWS website.

After completing my learning, I needed a place to practice what I had learned. So, I decided to write an article. However, even after writing it, I still didn’t feel satisfied.
Feel free to read it and let me know what you think! : What is cloud computing? A Guide for Beginners

Finally, I found a community where I could practice my skills.
NextWork.
The community is welcoming and well organized. So far, things are going great! I’m improving and getting more comfortable with AWS services, which initially felt overwhelming.
The community is organised by Natasha Ong and other great people.

I didn’t document my progress, my bad, but the project was about hosting a website on Amazon S3!
