AWS Academy Cloud Foundations

In Fall 2024, I had the opportunity to partake in the AWS Academy Cloud Foundations course that was offered in MIS 3406. As someone who was not too knowledgeable about AWS, this course helped me understand the basics of AWS and the services it offered. Throughout the duration of MIS 3406, I was able to refer to AWS Cloud Foundations for more in depth knowledge, especially on topics that I was unsure about. Ultimately, I found myself reviewing all of the modules as it was something that peaked my interest. I was able to learn about important topics within AWS, such as the Well-Architected Framework, DynamoDB, and more, all of which helped me prepare for MIS 3406. While I was learning about AWS and certain services in class, I was always able to turn to the Cloud Foundations course as study material to further deepen my understanding of how the services operated and how it impacted the user. The knowledge checks at the end of each module served as a quiz that tested my knowledge and understanding. I was able to use the knowledge checks as study tools as well as it pinpointed areas that needed improvement, which I was able to focus on when reviewing and studying for the course. Overall, it was a great way for beginners, like me, to understand the importance of AWS, the services that it provides, and how it can impact businesses that use AWS services.
