Fully descriptive, amusing and funny, this course is a perfect kick off for taking a taste of the background, top and well-known services and infraestructure tips of AWS and then dive into more advanced trails of knowledge.

Don't aspire to know how to build a S3 bucket and connect it to Snowflake, but aspire to get insight about storage services available on AWS and its differentiating characteristics (block vs file vs object vs infrequent vs long term as they are named as EBS vs EFS vs S3 Standard vs S3 Standard IA vs S3 Glacier, for example) :P

AWS Cloud Practitioner course is designed to provide a fundamental understanding of the AWS cloud platform and its services. It covered various concepts related to AWS such as cloud computing, storage, databases, compute, networking, security, pricing, and billing. The course is very helpful gaining knowledge of AWS and its services, or for those who are preparing for the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification exam. It is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in cloud computing and AWS.

This is your first step, if you are going to learn about AWS ecosystem. It was an amazing introductory course. I've learned a lot about the first things in Amazon Web Services. The most interesting AWS services that I did not know about were AWS Outpost and AWS Direct Connect which help you in making hybrid cloud a reality. Thank you Blaine Sundrud, you did great in the section of side by side comparison in storage types and classes.

Very good course. I loved the instructors and the energy and optimizm they displayed. There was just enough video editing to keep me engaged and in a jovial mood. I liked the analogy of the coffee shop used throughout the course. I liked the structure of the course - watching a video, then reading to reenforce the learning, then a short practice quiz.

Good basic essentials course. This is a high level overview. It's created by AWS so there's lots of horn tooting going on here. Don't drink the kool-aid too hard. The instructors are great. You can tell they love their work. This course is not the end all. This is the beginning of a journey in the cloud.

This is an excellent course. It covers so much ground that it could be overwhelming but the pace, links and analogies make each section relatively easy to digest.

As an experienced trainer myself, I am really impressed by each of the 3 presenters and but the effective structuring of the course.

Definitely wouldn't make it this far without the help of these instructors and their excellent walkthrough and breakdown of AWS. This is not your typical course. I would only add that courses in general should follow the teaching model that Team Tree House has established.

Excellent baseline course for those interested in cloud computing. While I did need to go look up a few basic terms related to cloud computing, this was a great introduction to some of the AWS features and operations in this industry. Thanks CourseRA!

Very well-produced videos. Great place to begin exploring AWS if the AWS website made you rethink your life decisions. Has no hands-on demos or exercises but lays down a strong and very necessary foundational framework before going hands on.

Instructors made the class fun and interesting, I enjoyed it very much. It's too bad you don't get the actual certification until you take the exam with AWS. I completed that successfully within a week of completing this class.
