- In taking the AWS Academy Cloud Foundations course, I reinforced my understanding of several concepts taught in MIS 3406, including network infrastructure, database configuration, and cloud-native applications. I also learned more advanced concepts such as how to use auto-scaling to adjust the number of instances to meet the fluctuating traffic a network can experience. I look forward to taking the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-Co1) Exam in the near future on my path in becoming a cloud architect.
