Month: May 2020

So I’ve just passed the first project in the AWS architect course and found out they take screenshots for the projects. I guess the free credits or student AWS accounts aren’t available for this course. I guess it makes things easier, the only thing is remembering to delete resources after using them after a lesson. So far so good, the AWS console is getting less scary and more familiar, I do appreciate all the default options when configuring certain resource services. Whew.

I’ve just recently started a free month course on Udacity for AWS cloud architect and so far it’s captured my attention more than the GPC course I completed. Plus the whole month as a deadline makes this more realistic to learn and retain the content. I did like a few features the GPC course had, mainly app engine. This AWS course seems more fun and interesting just because I do enjoy how the course content is set up. Not sure how to submit projects just yet, seems to be an issue with students getting credits to get hands-on learning done in the AWS console. I’ve been using my personal account to save time. Will update soon about this course.

Finished the google cloud platform course on core infrastructure earlier this morning. Not sure if I should continue the courses for the architect exam or the application developer specialization. Seems I should choose the second option just because I believe it will be a better use of my time since application development is something I’m trying to wrap my head around. I’m also in the process of finding a decent course to learn python syntax for machine learning. Will update soon about how that’s going.

It’s been some recent courses that have popped up for cloud architecture. Currently working on the Google Cloud Platform core infrastructure course. And I’m also seeing one for Amazon Web Services, which I’m more excited about just because nothing really tops their free tier option for some of the services they provide. And also I like the new UI from the AWS console that’s been updated. Way better now and a lot less confusing!

So for our state for the month of May, all stores and shops will not be allowing any customers inside without a face mask. I learned the hard way and was unable to shop today but at least I got to go out and enjoy the weather. The one day I didn’t check the news, fantastic.

Found out about a free trial week for a Coursera course so I plan to work on this next week. Will consider purchasing after just because I’m working on a project that will utilize the Google cloud platform. I’ve already deployed static sites with GCP but getting awarded a certificate will help me get familiar with the platform as far as application integration and scaling. I’m not to familiar with that process and I’m excited to check it out.
