Overall contents are good. But its assumed that you would have knowledge of some underlying technologies/ Aws services - in some instances, does not go in depth of why go with a certain option. Could have been much detailed..

By Jose Rios on 11/25/2025

This course was an excellent match for me and exceeded my expectations. The material was clearly explained, hands-on, and directly applicable to real-world cloud environments. I especially appreciated how the instructor broke down complex topics into practical steps that were easy to follow. As someone transitioning from traditional networking and VoIP engineering into cloud computing, this training helped solidify concepts and gave me the confidence to apply them in my daily work and future projects. The labs were well-designed, the examples were realistic, and the overall structure kept me engaged from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build real, job-ready cloud skills.

By Amit Pednekar on 10/19/2024

Absolutely! I do not have a software background, I am more of a networks guy and hence this course is very valuable for me since its gives me a good introduction on the software basics.

By Jishnu Sundar on 1/12/2024

The core concept delivery is excellent. But some topics could have been explained in a more simplistic way. Also during the hands-on project the instructor could have shown steps to delete/disable the cost incurring service after the project completion. I had to figure it out myself which took me a long time. During the hands on especially in Section 12, instructor went too fast without taking time to explain why he is flipping between various AWS resources for spinning up Route53 and Load Balancer. He says go to Hosted Zones and verify "these" but do not explain what is Hosted Zones, and "Why". Nevertheless, before this course I tried multiple attempts to learn Cloud Computing and gave up because free YT resources were too dry and confusing. Now I am able to confidently say Cloud Computing is not a grey area for me.

By Rishikesh Pandey on 8/19/2023

Concise, To the point course. This covers relevant topics to relevant level of depth. You can start building projects very soon and projects are the best way to burn the concepts in your brain. I am so impresses by Raj's teaching style that I bought some more of his course and during sales time I will get all of his courses.

By Sunil Ranka on 6/12/2023

Initially, This course provides clear guidance on what to choose as a career frontend, backend, DevOps, infra, or security engineer. Later it offered a comprehensive and well-structured curriculum, covering all critical aspects of Amazon Web Services. The instructor's simple & clear explanations and hands-on exercises made it easy to grasp complex concepts and apply them in real-world scenarios. Excellent Teacher and career guide who himself has real hands on experience in AWS professional services at highest level as of today

By Yash Gadwal on 4/26/2023

This course is a good 'get-your-hands-dirty-with-AWS' course: not really overwhelming, but enough information to get you started with AWS on a very practical level. If you're looking for a course to cover the majorly used AWS services really quickly over a weekend perhaps, this is the course for you. You'll learn a lot, the instructor definitely knows his stuff, his teaching style might not be your thing, or it might be right up your alley, you can figure out that much after going through the preview videos by yourself.

By John Levy on 3/29/2023

Best course on AWS, the hands on are priceless, the tips for LinkedIn and resumes are invaluable, thanks a lot for being a passionate teacher, I could have gotten such valuable information anywhere else. Thanks A Million.

By Manjunath Janardhan on 3/11/2023

Took Rocking System Design course and became a fan of Raj! Clearly explains the concepts and very easy to follow along. This course helped me to understand AWS well and now I clearly understood Rocking System Design after taking this course. Planning to take all his courses. Keep up the goof work Raj!

By Ashley Saha on 2/26/2023

As a newcomer to cloud with only a basic understanding, found this course to be an excellent introduction not just theoretically but with REAL WORLD EXAMPLES and leaving me with a feeling that I could APPLY what I have learned!
