Day 0 - Onboarding
20th September 2024
Today I spent a little time looking into the various resources available around AWS certification and tried to figure out where exactly I should start. There are quite a lot of certifications and honestly it was a little overwhelming.
I found this video incredibly helpful in breaking down which certification I should start with and roughly what order I should continue. I would highly recommend checking it out.
Ultimately I landed on starting with the AWS Solutions Architect certification and after checking out the free lectures and resources for Adrian’s course I purchased his AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (SAA-C03) course. The course preview can be found here.
I think finding the right course is important. Most courses, especially of this nature need to be relatively long and in depth. Finding the right teaching style that keeps you engaged and motivated while being able to break down those complex topics in a way you can digest is key.
After getting the courses onboarding out of the way, I jumped straight in and started learning about AWS accounts. Notes for this are found in the AWS Fundamental section.
