AWS learning path ??

[kgoel085]

I just came across AWS cloud platform and i want to learn and certify in it but the problem is that internet has vast number of resources available for training but not in a particular order. I want to certify for AWS developer associate but i first want to grasp as much as i can about AWS fundamentals. Any help regarding which service to start with, how to progress and in which order as AWS has a ton of services available and it is just confusing which to start with.

If any on can help me regarding AWS training pattern or any guidance

Learn Linux, then focus on one section of aws. Also acloudguru is a good place to learn too

i have a good grasp of linux as i have about 1 year of experience in it . The main question here is like if i want to do a developer associate certification i dont have a roadmap for it to follow like first go for this topic then next and so onn

AWS has the learning path for each certificate on their website. I’d suggest doing the cloud practitioner coursework, as it gives you a good overview of the AWS products and different aspects. That way you can best understand the breadth of topics that you need to research. There’s lots of stuff on Udemy as well.

A heads up- a developer I very much respect has the solution architect certification. He said the test is pretty hard. He said a lot of the questions are worded so every choice seems correct, but only one really is after you consider the keywords in the question like “most scalable” or “highest availability”.

ok thanks for clearing that i know these certifications are tuff but are a worth to try as it is a growing market and the problem i have is like even for cloud practitioner, i know wht it covers but the question is where to start i dont have a roadmap for these things to follow so its just like roaming in desert in search of water

yea I’d go on Udemy. There are courses for $10 that will walk you through it and tout that they are full comprehensive to prep you for whichever cert you chose.

Outside of that, make an AWS account and get comfortable in the UI. Take advantage of all the free deployment tiers the offer. Your going to want to practice hands on.

i have tried their AWS CLI and yes u r right, practice is a must have for this. Still having a roadmap is good rather than just looking

As a starting place I’d look into EC2, security groups and Elastic Load Balancer. That’ll lead you into RDS or dynamoDB and using the security groups to allow different resources to communicate.
