This Week In AWS Community : 2021 Year End Thoughts

It’s Christmas Eve and the second to final Friday of 2021. I am doing the 2021 round up in this post.

I am happy to be in the AWS Community Builders because this selection means that I am good enough to be in cloud computing

It’s one thing to think that you are good at what you’re doing. It’s totally another thing when AWS selects you. This means that you are doing something right in cloud computing. AWS is the market leader in cloud computing.

Happy that the program manager believes so much in me.

Shout out to Jason Dunn, the AWS Community Builder program manager. He has been supportive of me and my cloud journey the whole way!

Happy to have started this weekly blog series

My deciding to chronicle my AWS experience with this weekly blog series is the best decision that I have made because I have shared so many experiences with all of you. I reshare some of these posts on Medium Premium Partner Network and they are some of the most read articles.

Would like to do more with AWS Community Builder but

I would like to do even more with AWS Community Builder but…AWS is not in the business of free learning. Microsoft Azure is now back to offering free monthly Cloud Skills Challenge exam vouchers to US residents and Oracle Cloud has extended its free exam training and voucher program for its 15 cloud certifications until February 28, 2022. These are AWS competitors and granting professionals these opportunities turn them into customers.
