Course Description

"Strongly recommended. More effective than many courses ten times the price."
If you want to learn about AWS from they guy who wrote the book (AWS for Dummies, Dummies Press) about it, you've come to the right place! I'm Bernard Golden, and WIRED named me one of the ten most influential people in cloud computing. The Ultimate AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate truly is all you need to pass the certification exam and become Amazon Web Services Certified. But it's far more than that. It's the entry portal to your mastery of AWS -- today's most important computing platform. AWS is the fastest growing technology offering -- ever -- and this course covers it in depth. If you're ready to take your career to the next level, this is the course for you!
Here's what some previous students had to say about my course:
"This course is the best tool for someone who wants to get the certification. "
"This one of the best course not only on Udemy but on the internet"
"Had an awesome experience with the course and I already recommended to my friends."
"Very well presented. Much better than most Udemy courses."
"I loved learning with these videos. I am a trainer myself, I can say these videos are very well made."
"Surprised at how much good information was packed into this. If you've never spent any time in AWS, prepare to be amazed."
"Excellent course for AWS."
The Ultimate AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate gives you everything you need to succeed with AWS:
  • It's comprehensive: It covers all the AWS services, so that you learn the breadth of the AWS offering and understand how they all interrelate and support one another.
It also provides deep dives into the core AWS services so that you develop a full set of skills in EC2, S3, VPC, and IAM. And it's constantly updated -- which is important, given that AWS released 1300+ new services or service improvements in 2017 alone!
  • It's comprehensible: I'm sure you've shared my experience in trying to learn a new technology and being overwhelmed by jargon and complexity. In this course I've applied all the skills I learned in writing two best-selling cloud computing books in how to make technology comprehensible.
But wait, there's more! I've also leveraged the power of the Udemy platform to show as well as tell. And it's all presented in a way that makes it easy for you to understand AWS services.
  • It gets you ready for the Solutions Architect Associate certification exam. Naturally, the course gives you all the knowledge you need in a comprehensible format. That provides the foundation for your certification exam. But the course also contains exam tips in every section that discuss the specific knowledge you'll need about each service to answer the certification questions. And there's even a practice exam at the end of the course that contains questions just like the ones you'll see in your actual AWS certification exam.
  • It launches your AWS career: Taking this course is the best way to prepare for the AWS Solutions Architect Associate Certification exam -- and transform your future.
In the course I discuss this certification and share survey data that shows it as the most desirable -- and best paid -- certificate in the industry. Average salaries for certificate holders are well over six figures US, and they're in high demand all around the world. The Ultimate AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate course gets you ready to pass the certification exam on your very first try. What more could you want?

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!

Great, very thorough

By Yap Henzhong Paul on 12/20/2020

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

By L Jay Adams on 11/23/2020

So far, this is significantly better than A Cloud Guru. However, there is still some room for improvement. I need some more explanations, since this is all way over my head.

By Donnye Patterson on 10/18/2020

Great information so far! The course is thorough without being completely overwhelming. My exam is tomorrow so we'll see how it all goes.

By James Sandlin on 10/16/2020

As someone who has worked in aws automation for 3 yrs and is finally reviewing to test for the cert, I wish I could just read the contents / highlight what I'm interested in vs having to listen to the presentations.

Little difficult to understand, you have to reduce speed. Not everyone comes from an English speaking country

By Tschass Casinga on 8/27/2020

I believe it does set out the course very well. As a student, I am able to decide either to continue or to drop the course because I have not a clear view of what I am either setting out to learn or I can realise that it is not what I want to learn or expected to learn. Thank you
