The one minor drawback is hands-on practice. I typically used youtube for quick reference of new technology topics but the video lectures on Pluralsight take learning experience to a completely different level. This was my first time using Pluralsight and was thoroughly impressed with the learning experience. As this certification is directly provided by AWS, I found Pluralsight to be more prolific and flexible for my needs. I had used Coursera for ML certification last year as it came bundled with a Stanford certificate. This blog summarizes my experience and learnings through this journey.ĪWS certifications require serious preparation and usually starts with identifying a MOOC platform for access to learning material. Given my existing familiarity and understanding of cloud computing, I had a bit of a head start and was able to successfully complete my certification in about a month. Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service, Worldwide (2020) There are a dozen AWS certifications available and my choice was Solution Architect Associate, which is the most popular one as it covers the entire AWS offering. I decided to pursue AWS certification as it is the clear industry leader with almost one third of global cloud market share. All of them offer similar services, so learning one will automatically build understanding of the others. My goal was to complete a comprehensive cloud learning path and had to choose between Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services.
I target one technology certification every year, finished Stanford Machine Learning Certification last year and decided to pursue a cloud certification in 2020. To this end, structured technology courses and certifications help lay a solid foundation that can lead to eventual mastery with real life hands-on experience.
