How I Would Learn AWS Today (after 10 years of cloud experience)

[@Zrinik5]

At 8:11 "There are like 250 AWS services and no one knows them all, I don't know them all. I know about 50 or so but they're the important 50" This is absolute gold and is also reassuring as someone who is learning the AWS ecosystem. Cheers and thank you for the great content

[@himanshurajpal7842]

Could you please list those 50 using any social media or any link so that I could be confined to what I must learn ! Btw thanks for this ! ❤

[@antoniofuller2331]

@@himanshurajpal7842 it's just an expression. In reality, he probably uses about 10-20 daily

[@Sindoku]

Once you learn the core services really well the other services are much easier to digest.

[@Sindoku]

@@himanshurajpal7842learning the same 50 as him just because he learned them is a terrible idea…

Cant tell you how much your videos have helped me in understanding AWS better. You have a phenomenal talent in breaking down complex topics and making them understandable to the average joe like me. Thank you! 🙏

[@raheelahmed7767]

Bro The perfect video I was looking for. Just how you've mapped it out for someone who is right at the start has given me a lot of confidence. Smashed it!!

Hey man Just saw your udemy course on AWS Lambda Great course and your way to relate to real time issues that you face THANKS a lot Where to get more paid courses from you and also please keep making this courses We and my 7-8 friends just enrolled for that lambda they all loved it

[@andrewplater1782]

You are truly the man when it comes to explaining how to use AWS as a developer. I appreciate your work and love your honesty when discussing parts of an AWS service that you do not understand. You are my go-to source whenever I get stuck.

[@donstamps]

I have been hoping to find a really good AWS focused channel, and now I have. That was a great presentation. Thank you!

[@BeABetterDev]

Thanks very much Don and welcome!

[@steeladept]

Found this to be a great primer of where to start. Only change I would make is to expand Compute section enough to know the difference between EC2, ECS, EKS, and Lambdas. Don't need to go deep, just what is the difference. Basically it hits a lot of the buzzwords that people are asking about, and identifies what the differences are.

Yep. This is the roadmap I will use to finally start AWS.

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

Amazing roadmap! Super well structured! Thank you! I'm currently working on a computer vision roadmap for my own channel, and I'll be incorporating many things from the way you've structured this roadmap. 🙌

I truly feel this! Same mindset

[@brownsense1]

I'm in a AWS re/start bootcamp and you're right. They give us a bunch of labs and it's easier for me to comprehend doing the labs versus watching a video and reading notes.

[@steveogbeche3749]

Hello, I hope you are well. How's it going or did it go with the boot camp? Could you share with me your experiences and thoughts regarding the course. Thank you.

[@brownsense1]

@@steveogbeche3749 I completed the bootcamp and earned my AWS Cloud Practitioner cert, I am now prepping for Redhat Certified Sys Admin cert.

[@Desmond8709]

I agree with you about the experience part but from my 20 years in IT support those certs get you into the interview to get the chance to show your skills. Folks at the end of the day if you are trying to break into the field or level up, you're going to need both. And if you can do that your confidence level will be so high that at your interview, skills test etc. will be so low stress that they may just hire you because of how cool and calm you are. (just my opinion but it works for me in the past)

[@TheOriginalJi]

I cannot thank you enough for this video, it is exactly what I needed and ultimately extremely valuable to my journey learning AWS. You're an absolute legend. Thank you!

[@roach_iam]

Would definitely recommend doing certifications along with hands-on projects. In my experience, hands-on projects are great for learning HOW to do, whereas doing certifications gives you an understanding of WHY something behaves the way it does.

[@Cloud_with_lois]

do you recommend starting out with certification first or do labs first then certify after

[@roach_iam]

@@Cloud_with_lois You can do both if you use the right course. Personally, I did the courses from Stephen Grider on Udemy. All his courses have slides + hands-on labs

You have valid points about not being that guy with AWS certification without practical experience. However, there are lots of people with little or no industry experience, an AWS certification help them get interviews? Yes.....Will AWS certification alone get them the job? Almost Impossible

Your videos are PURE GOLD!!!! - I am currently at this exact stage where I start my dream job working on AWS in 4 weeks (my job would be to help migrate on prem applications to AWS along with acting as AWS admin) and I am so confused and overwhelmed watching AWS learning youtube videos, documentations , trying to understand services and where to begin AWS hands on experience from.. this video gave me the everything what I was looking for and now I have a PLAN... THANK YOU so much for this invaluable information ....this is exactly I was looking for. Quick question: Are there any good tips and learning tools to excel cloud-formation/terraform/github actions/spacelift or applications you use for designing cloud flows charts that you would recommend to speed my learning?

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi there, congrats on joining! Message me @dggalati on slack to say hello when you arrive :) Learning CloudFormation/IaC just takes practice. You can watch some of the videos on my channel as a first step (I have some on CloudFormation/CDK). I would suggest setting up some very simple apps to get the hang of how things work. I unfortunately don't have any resource suggestions besides my own content but Im sure you could find some high quality KZbin tutorials. For diagramming, the standard go-to tool is draw.io . Another good option is Excalidraw. In both of them you can import AWS resource icons and the drag/drop interface is super simple to use. Hope this helps and congrats again.

[@fhdhejeh63]

I totally agree that to really learn you need to actually use the services and play around with them. However, as a beginner it might be a bit challenging to do so since not all services are free obviously and you can get those unexpected bills which is what happened to me. The bill was nothing at all but I have heard stories of people getting terrible ones. I just can't get the past the anxiety to really start enjoying doing projects and learning.

[@Kevin-jv7mz]

Thanks for all the resources and perspective you bring into your videos! They've been extremely helpful since my starting at Amazon a little over a year ago. Would you be able to revisit the CDK at some point and explore that topic in a bit more detail?

[@BeABetterDev]

Hey Kevin, Great suggestion. I actually have a CDK video coming out soon to set up CDK with Lambda + SQS. It covers all the setup steps, how to create a stack, and deploy. Hopefully this is helpful but if not, let me know what you're looking for and I can try and make a more tailored video. The CDK video should be out in a week or two from today. Cheers, Daniel

Certifications are good for people who can't work at AWS for ten years to learn AWS.

[@Sindoku]

You don’t need to work at AWS to use and learn AWS, mate. The certification is just a bunch of theory. It doesn’t truly translate to the real world other than one knowing theory but hardly ever actually applying it at all. That’s like reading about the theory behind a chess opening. You are fine as long as the opponent plays the exact moves you trained for, but as soon as you’re faced with a move you’ve never seen, you’re on your own again. That’s what real experience is, being able to figure out the scenarios you weren’t trained for, and also just using the stuff you did train for on real world projects instead of just in your head or some simulation.

[@TreeLuvBurdpu]

@@Sindoku The certs aren't theory, chum. Their full of real world scenarios from real customer cases.

You do not have a terrible memory. Your memory just works different. Your memory is stronger visually vs language wise. So things like maps of concepts will easily stick for you hut you will have a hard time with things like names and numbers. So you can actually use that to your advantage if you do it right. That said, i would guess you are better in creative roles vs administrative roles or technical roles
