Most Recent Review

It started out good but as we dive deeper into more sophisticated topics, the quality starts to drop. There were missing logical gaps in some of the examples and often the title of each video is so general that its useless. For example for the NAT/Bastion video, Part one was addressing ENI but there was no indicator anywhere. While ENI is a form of NAT, it will be ALOT more helpful if he add it in the title. The only hint that I got that this was an ENI example was at the very end when the route table specified it in the ID. Had to google what was the differences myself. If I have to google that much and read AWS documentation that much just to figure out what this is saying, I dont need this course

Instructor Bio

Hi. I’m Bernard Golden. Wired named me one of the ten most influential people in cloud computing. I’ve worked with cloud computing since … well, before it was called cloud computing. What got me started with the cloud? I’m glad you asked!

Ten years ago I was writing one of my five best-selling cloud computing books -- Virtualization for Dummies. I attended an enterprise architecture meetup as part of my research for the “Future of Virtualization” chapter. That night an Amazon evangelist presented on a new offering from the company called Amazon Web Services. I was kind of surprised -- a computing offering from Amazon? But by the end of that presentation I knew that AWS wasn’t just the future of virtualization: it was the future of software.

I threw myself into AWS, learning everything I could about it. I began consulting on it with companies all around the world. I developed and delivered the very first cloud computing training in the industry. And I continued my cloud work in two startups, each of which was acquired by one of the technology giants.

Today I’m proud to bring together all the strands of my work -- software development, cloud computing, industry experience, and education -- in this course. I hope you’ll enjoy taking it as much as I’ve enjoyed making it!
