That it was all new technology and offerings to myself. After being shown how quick and easy it is to set up certain services in AWS, I feel I could get a real benefit out of it for quick project and proposal prototyping.

MDA Systems Ltd.

Fernando knew the products and how to use them. His willingness and friendliness to assist in the hands-on lab was great.

MDA Systems Ltd.

There was a good general pass over what seemed like the most important parts of AWS. The instructor was open to questions and addressed areas of AWS that were not part of the outline based on our questions.

MDA Systems Ltd.

I liked getting to understand the breadth of the services offered by AWS and gaining a better understanding of their pricing model for each of those services.

William Crowdis - MDA Systems Ltd.

Everything. I had played around with AWS before but just on my own personal time. The training really brought everything together, with real world examples and how many individual pieces can be bolted together for a applicable solution.
