For the past several years, I have been working almost exclusively with Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) and all of the tools that go along with it. While it has been very interesting ever since I started, the industry I work in doesn’t really allow for keeping up with technology. So as TFS2018 gets closer and closer to release, I am stuck with TFS2015 for at least another year or two.
It is frustrating to watch technology passing you by…
So I decided to start learning about AWS and go for a few certifications.
I have to say, trying to figure out where to start was the most difficult part. They have thousands of services and various entry points to start learning. It took me a bit just to get my head wrapped around all of it. But I finally jumped in here: https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/use-cases/devops/.
Halfway down the page, there are some “10-Minute Tutorials” with the good ol’ Hello World! That sparked a real desired to learn more and I started to feel very unorganized in my approach to learning this stuff. That’s when I decided to pick the targets of getting the AWS certifications.
So here we go, on a journey of learning!
And yes, I’m proud also of the fact that I blogged about it. 🙂
