Certifications Passed: AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner

A First AWS Certification

The AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner is Amazon's introductory certification for their cloud platform. One of the things I first noticied about this certification is the overwhelming number of services covered. AWS has a huge number of services built in, and this certification covers almost all of them at a high level. One video that helped a lot to ground things and look at them in a real world context was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDEpdNdFglI.

Finding Study Materials

It isn't hard to find study materials for AWS, the video I would recommend is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhDYbskXRgc. It's a long video at 14 hours, but covers all the topics you need to know. As always, make sure to do lots of practise questions when preparing for your exam.
