Hey everybody! I know that this blog series focuses mainly on Amazon Web Services (AWS); but, this week, I want to highlight how my learning in Linux has helped me better understanding AWS.

Learning Linux

I have received a Linux Foundation Certified IT Associate tech scholarship for the official training and exam voucher. While studying the first module, I’ve come across the word bus. They’ve described bus as an interconnect. Now I am thinking that bus meaning transport. Well, you would be correct, but, I’ve researched bus definition on Google and the computing definition means

a distinct set of conductors carrying data and control signals within a computer system, to which pieces of equipment may be connected in parallel.

This was mind-blowing because I really didn’t know what the word bus meant regarding Event bus and Service bus. However, looking at the definition, a computing bus has a conductor (driver) that carries data (passengers) in a computer system (bus route). So I now get it.

I am sharing this lesson because you can learn AWS related concepts outside of AWS. I do it all of the time. If it is something in AWS that I don’t understand, I go to Google or YouTube and search the word.
