Hi Lucy. That was an awesome video. I'm using Cloud Guru, Udemy Ultimate AWS Associate 2022, and AWS Skills Builder AWS Solutions track. Seeing the same topic explained in different ways by multiple professionals helps with my overall understanding of it. Coupling this with doing the labs has really helped me a lot. Once again, thanks for the videos, you helped to inspire me to learn AWS on a deeper level.

AWS Skill Builder!!

Great video Lucy! I'm in the beginning of researching and learning about the AWS cloud services. I am very happy to see all of the available training that AWS has provided to the public. Thanks for sharing your list with us and I look forward to watching more of your videos!

[@ITSH4WK]

Thank you so much for putting this list together, Lucy. This is insanely helpful in getting started. Cheers! 😁

No worries! Glad you found it helpful

Thanks. You are savior. I am learning from a physical class from a mentor but still I need multiple free Resources to stay in practice and self learning.

Didn’t know about half of these resources.. thanks a lot Lucy!

[@TechwithLucy]

Glad I could help!

Great job, Lucy! I hope that you will make a video to provide solutions for AWS. I'd like to hear you explain if it's possible. Your voice is really easy to listen to, and I love it.

Thank you so much for posting this and God bless you! Your guides have helped me to start with my learning..

Thank you so much Lucy for this video! I really didn’t know about these

[@bk24708]

This is awesome. I’m a cloud security admin working towards getting Cloud Practitioner, solutions architect, and security specialty. I like these resources, and like it being free. I use the Udemy Resource video you referred to, he just doesn’t have security specialty but I love that he gives visual training from console, not a boring PowerPoint. I also like Whizlabs for tests. I have a cloud guru, it’s not too bad.

[@BadWeatherfreak]

Does cloud security admin pays well?

[@louis_fabianho1915]

Please what the best platform to get security hands on learning , i want to build my career on AWS security

[@aa01010]

Hi Lucy : your videos are very motivating. I have a simple query : why the specialized certifications of the AWS ( like security and data analysis ) are so costly as 300$ compared to 150 $ for the AWS CAS. Is there a way to get discount on the exams. After all AWS wants the world to be mad behind using aws and the people / resources are ready to invest provided the cost is not sky high.

[@yell595]

Thank you so much 👍

[@urdarkside1]

Hi Lucy, Between AWS Skills Builder and A Cloud Guru, What platform would you say is between for a complete beginnner? Does one have more content that the other?

can someone from non-tech background also opt for aws solution architect. or what are the major prerequisite are required to be solution architect.

Yeah my question’s a lot similar to yours as well. I have no coding/software tech background. My brother told me that i had to have at least some basic knowledge of coding.

Yes, it’s possible to become an SA from a non tech background, but you may have to do a lot of self learning - e.g AWS certifications :)
