I've just completed the first hour of this course, and I wanted to express my gratitude for being such an exceptional tutor and for dedicating your time to teaching us. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks! That means a lot. This was my first attempt at doing something like this and learning as I go. I feel the lessons keep getting better as you get later in the course. Always open to feedback to make future videos and courses better. As you go through the course please reach out if there are any questions! Be sure to check out the my AWS CCP practice exam video as well and spend some time reviewing the AWS services that come up in those practice questions to ensure you're familiar with them at a high level. At that point, you'll be well prepared pass the CCP exam and have a great foundation to build on for the associate level certifications as well! All the best with your cloud study voyage!
Hey, I just achieved my CLF-C02 certification. This course was my main resource along with some mock tests from Udemy. I would like to thank you for creating such a great course. This made a significant difference in my learning. I still had to go through some more AWS features but this course covers most of the new syllabus.
Just wanted to come back and say I passed CLF-C02 from mostly this video. I needed to review some of the services more prior to my test but it did cover the majority of the content. This video is based off of CLF-C01 so some of the information has been moved to different domains, but all of the same material was covered. One of the better free training's out there.
Just finished Domain 1, so far so good and you have me thinking about how to embrace the cloud. Would be nice if you had references links or a study guide.
Hi Mike! I just wanted to give my thanks for this course; it has been very helpful in helping me pass the exam. The visuals and diagrams helped me visualize how AWS works. Lightsail, Outpost, and CloudWatch are some AWS services you might want to cover in the future. Thanks again for this course! 🙂
Amazing! Congrats on passing the CCP! Keep the momentum and tackle the associate certs if you're looking to continue the AWS cert journey. Yes, there are some gaps in some of the service coverage due to the transition of this course to UA-cam from my previous LMS hosting platform. There was quite a bit of supplemental guides, video references, and other review material that got into some of those areas. I feel the content here covers 90% or so of all the possible exam topics, so when used with reviewing the AWS documentation, AWS Skill Builder, and other references, it will fill in those gaps. Amazing job on pushing through the study efforts and passing the exam!
I'm what you could call a S.T.A.R. specialized training through alternative routes. I've been working in IT, networking, and technology since 2004 but don't have a cert to my name. I'm looking to make that happen since I've had a lucrative job offer as a jr. Systems engineer come into play. Listening to this content gas helped me realize how much i actually know. It really helps me have the confidence to take that step and actually start getting my certifications built up and dang, I sure appreciate you for helping to lay this out for us. Can't wait to update with ky cert completion status. Git 'er done! 🍻
Amazing! With your background, you'll have little trouble getting started with the cloud technology areas and getting through the certs. Often folks jump into cloud and start collecting certs, yet have no foundation in general IT and networking concepts. They really struggle in certain cloud roles with out that solid base, or their knowledge falls a part during interviews. Cert's can help give you a learning framework to to keep building skills in new areas, but don't make them the ultimate goal. Take your time studying, build projects as you go to both get more hands-on experience and provide more context to what you're learning and understand how different services and technologies can be used together to solve real-world challenges. Anyways, sounds like you have a great foundation to build on and the motivation to keep learning which is the main thing. 2024 is your year! Go!
Although AWS skill builder guides in more details and gives good breakdown. But your course helped me to revise the concepts in short time. Thank you for your efforts.
I’m about halfway through your course series for the CCP. I recently just finished my Core 1 A+ exam too. Grateful for your dedication to teaching us how to navigate AWS and comprehend cloud concepts. Looking forward to see more courses like this from you on UA-cam.
Awesome! Thanks for checking out the course as part of your study sources. I'd suggest checking out the course here (there's coupon codes to get it for free if you want) - cloudvikings.io/course/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-clf-01 It's the same videos as this one on UA-cam, but broken into individual lessons which may be easier to jump around and find certain topics to review and will track your progress so you can easily resume where you left off. I also have a few lesson additions that have links to new content that is for the CLF-C02 scope that isn't covered in the lessons directly. Not much changed with the CLF-C02 exam version, but I've called out recommended AWS documents and other references that will ensure you have covered all the exam topic areas for the latest exam version. All the best with your study and let me know if you have any questions along the way!
I know how much work goes into creating a course. I am definately buying your coures. Thanks for making it. Edit: I bought it. :) I will report back when I finish it. Cheers
Listen up buddy, you are the greatest, hardworking teacher and youtuber ever, we cant thank you enough for this amazing work we just hope that you achieve all your goals and desires❤❤
This deserves more appreciation! Thanks for creating something beyond a proper course. I Was tired of memorising stuff for solutions architect (and of the people saying you don’t need ccp level knowledge) and found other courses all the same - slides, descriptions, million services and questions. This particular course enlightens rather than just running through stuff. Well done!
Thanks! Next courses will be even better. A lot more visuals, lesson design focused on memory retention of the material, ensuring the real-world application and context of the material, hands on labs (building projects as we go)... I put a lot of time in ramping up my video editing and motion graphics skills along with some other stuff. (It's like a whole new world/hobby for me) I've also invested in some gear for my setup here recently, so hopefully it all results in some better productivity and leveled-up lessons. :) Future courses/videos, I plan to have a bit more fast-paced lessons and switch things up. I feel that by avoiding the boring slides approach I took in this course, many of the lessons of just that "talking head" style, which I feel may also get a bit boring by staring at me rambling on. If you check out more of the course (it improves as you go), I always appreciate any feedback good/bad. You won't hurt my feelings - keep it real! :) Also, in the next week or two, I should have some news of an alternate way to go through the course lessons here. Keep an eye out for that. Thanks again for checking out the course and let me know if you have any questions, CCP scope or beyond! Cheers!
I've been looking for a course on aws certifications and to be honest i kinda like your style of teaching btw great work you're doing it feels great to be part of this youtube family this early , I hope this channel grow more and more and students and self learners may get to know about cloud. 🚀🚀
Thanks! Glad you found the course. Yeah, I hope this grows into a great community of learners over time. As for my teaching style, I appreciate the comment. Still getting used to talking to a camera and figuring out lesson development stuff, but overall I want to try and avoid the slide-heavy bullet point type lessons I commonly see around and keep things a bit more entertaining. Always open to any feedback to help make future videos and courses better! Thanks again for checking out the course and all the best with your study journey! Reach out if you have any questions!
Dude, listen to me, I’ve seen many tutorials any many subjects on cloud. But your way of teaching is extraordinary. Not kidding. 1. Your voice is not annoying (very important) 2. Presentation is perfect 3. It’s very in depth and I like you reference to blue prints and white papers 4. It really feels like if you spend these 7 hours paying close attention, you’ll definitely end up gaining tons of well structured info. That’s very important. It’s not random or just slightly touching, it’s in depth from kernel to shell analogy. I’m really enjoying it and think you’re gifted. Keep doing this precious stuff. Job hunting at moment and can’t afford to buy your courses at the moment but definitely will do later when hired. Thank you. And know that your content is super quality! Kudos!
Wow, thanks so much! So glad the content was helpful as part of your study journey! Good luck with the job search and keep the learning momentum going.
Wow, that’s a lot of time staring at me on a screen. 😀 Nice work getting through the lessons, and be sure to check out the CCP practice exam video on the channel!
I’m 1 hour into the course and I’m blown away. I’ve looked at other similar courses on Udemy and on UA-cam and felt like I had to do a lot of cramming. But with this one your course is so engaging and someone I’m able to retain the information better. My exam is next week Wednesday so I’ll post an update. Granted I only have a week and a day to pass. Wish me luck
This course is also available as a full course player experience along with some additional resources planned to be added very soon (quizzes, practice exams, document reference links, etc.). The lesson videos are the same as this video, just broken up into individual lessons and an alternate learning environment, providing progress tracking, resumes where you left off, etc. It's a free "name your price" type of pricing. Use the available coupon codes listed on the course info description to get it for free, or use other coupon codes if you're able to support the continued development of new lessons and courses. cloudvikings.io/course/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-clf-01
Thanks! Learning as I go with creating videos like this and want to make future videos and courses even better! Hoping it helps a lot of folks get started into careers in cloud and working with AWS! All the best with your learning journey and reach out if there are any questions!
Your way of teaching is awesome,and i love how much efforts u have put into making of the tutorial...but i have a few things as i stand in the middle of the course.. 1.I can't see those options or hyperlinks in your website as well😓. 2.can u also say if the white papers and other documentations u r suggesting r mandatory to go through?.i am actually preferring to follow your 7 hr course without referring aws sheets ,i hope the knowledge from uour course alone would be sufficient for the exam?
Finally through the entire video (at 1.75x, haha). The knowledge you have and share is amazing, it definitely seems like you have a ton of experience and background on using AWS, and the editing is surprisingly high level.. I need to get on that for my hobby videos! The only thing that made it tougher on youtube was not having those links you intended to share that was used on your previous platform. I liked the viking touch like in the graphics and other interactive animations and edits. Thanks
Thanks! Yeah, the video playback speed is key. I often 2.5-4x videos to pre-skim videos to get a high-level idea of the content, try to take a few notes to summarize what I captured (just core ideas/topics), form some of my own questions around this, then if needed, I'll do a later pass at maybe 1.5-2x to see what I missed, etc. but I find my attention is a lot more focused heading into that 2nd pass as I'm reviewing with specific areas I'm trying to answer or get clarification on. You'd be surprised how much you can retain even beyond the 2x speeds. After a few minutes, you get used to it and it feels "normal". My next courses (and the eventual CCP refresh of this one) will be a different format and the links and stuff will be sorted out, and a much better overall "course" experience. Looking back on the lessons in this course (these were done a while back), the editing and a lot of things I find pretty rough knowing what I know now. I've been down sooo many rabbit holes the past year or so with video editors, learning the sea of "content creation" skills, sound design, improving my recording equipment (video/audio), sound treatment, etc. etc.... it's been fun though. A lot of new hobbies discovered in the process. I've been in the shadows the last little while due to time demands over the summer here, but picking away at the website a bit when I can, and getting the frameworks in place for the next round of courses to come. Thanks again for your comments and checking out the course!
After 4 days of intense studying and researching for this course I've reached the end! My next stop is the Practice Test provided by this channel along with a few others. For any gaps in my education I will refer back tot his video. Thanks Cloud Vikings, this free resource has been invaluable!
Thanks for checking out the video! Yeah, lots of folks were successful with just the video (check comments). However, I'd say at a minimum, follow this up with my practice exam video on the channel here as well. I don't have the background context to your existing experience, goals, etc., but I'd try not to rush through a single video as the sole training resource. Spend some time digesting it all, reading through the AWS docs referenced in the course (and docs related to services mentioned in the practice exam video), and some hands-on experience (CCP scope doesn't really require too much of this), and you'll really have a solid foundation for the exam, and to build upon for other AWS certifications. Also, keep an eye out for a minor update in the next few days (hopefully) in the channel here. Should have a bit better course experience for these lessons and some additional supplemental resources (all the links to the docs I reference, more quizzes, practice exam simulator, etc.) Let me know if there are any questions along the way! Cheers!
@@cloudvikings hey thanks for replying . regarding my experience in aws , i am actually a clg student and my college taught me aws cloud last semester with hands on . so i think i have some idea about this course. but still i will follow this video and your practice exam video and write the exam . thanks mate 🥰😃

I passed my exam using your training and exam videos as the core material. Your experiment with the training really worked very well for me and I am sure it will for others too. Once again thanks so much for your effort.
Amazing! Thanks for checking out the video and the encouragement to keep going. I just made the course available here as well thinking it will be a better experience for folks for this course (and future ones). If you get some spare time, would be curious if you have any feedback on this format vs. a multi-hour UA-cam video for a course - cloudvikings.io/courses/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-clf-c01/ (Just put $0 for the price to get it for free) Congrats again on passing the exam!
@@cloudvikingscurrent course taker here - I personally prefer doing a 7 hour long video with chapters, it's easier for me to navigate. UA-cam is perfect for it. Not sure about others.
Best AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner cource on youtube!!! Superb production value and clear explanation of complex topics. Thanks a lot for posting this for free 😍😍 I especially liked your freehand notes, colorful diagrams and stock video footage for breaking the monotony. Cool studio btw and awesome lighting I am going to copy for my room 😅
Just passed my exam using only this course and a ton of practice tests. This course was very helpful in gaining a fundamental understanding of the cloud and the offerings of AWS. Thank you for putting this course together!

Hi Mike, I noticed sometimes when you point at your screen the link doesn't display. However, am enjoying your pattern of teaching because I comprehend better with illustrations. You are doing a fantastic job with this course. Thank you!
Thanks so much! Slowly getting better at this course and video stuff. As for the links, these lessons were originally made for a different course hosting platform and the interactive link pop up’s don’t work the same on UA-cam. If you can’t find the documentation or reference site I mention, let me know and I’ll pass those along. All feedback is welcome to make future videos and courses better, and don’t hesitate if you have any questions through the course!
I understand links are missing, but isn't it possible for you to input the links in the UA-cam platform? It might take some time, but this will help a lot with the flow of learning and understanding your video. I know it's possible, because UA-camrs usually use it for saying "subscribe" here or something like that. Thanks again, you've a great voice for teaching :)
Yeah, I've used the "cards" in videos that you can place to do things like suggest other videos and subscribe links, but I wasn't aware of the ability to do straight external links. I did some quick research on this, and there does seem to be a way to make these cards as an external link type which would be perfect. I looked at the terms and conditions related to the external links, and it gets a little complicated. YT seems to want to avoid links to external sources outside of the UA-cam domain. It's largely to prevent links to sites that violate their community guidelines, which I can't see AWS documentation references and similar links being an issue, but I'll look into more of the details around this soon and add in the links if I can. I've been thinking about making other certification course videos, and I'll approach them differently so they're better suited to the UA-cam platform, viewing experience and learning flow. In the meantime, if there are any links or references in the video you can't find, let me know! As for my voice, thanks! I hated doing the editing part and hearing myself initially. It's that typical "do I really sound like this??". I've become desensitized to my own voice and staring at myself through the hours of editing at this point. :D I'm slowly getting more comfortable talking to a camera and the whole video/content creation stuff, so the next courses and future videos should be much more refined. Also working on adding a bit more energy into future videos so folks don't fall asleep watching them! :D Always welcome any feedback to improve! Thanks again for your suggestion on the embedded links, and all the best with your study and cert exam(s)!
@@cloudvikings I find you better than most UA-camrs. You are relaxed and maybe can seem a bit off tune (same voice and tune all the way, which can be boring), but at least it is very clear to understand you. And you still try to do some jokes, which is nice. Teaching people this way can simulate a better understanding when you are comparing the concepts with real-life scenarios. So keep up the good work with that. + I can agree that a lil bit of energy into the teaching material would make a positive impact. Another recommendation for your YT video and regarding the links issue; Maybe you could just add the links into the description for each Domain/Topic. This way it will be much easier for you to edit the description and add the links that you're talking about: (For example: 2:13:41), here you are talking about material, but im not sure which one. But under the description of your YT, you could write something like this: "2:08:06 - Right-Sized Infrastructure (add link here)". This would be much appreciated for me and im sure other people too, since I have already spent around 5-10 mins in looking for the correct material that you're talking about. And im still not yet even sure that the link is "/aws-cost-optimization/Right Sizing" for the example that I mentioned. Anyway, looking forward to finish your YT AWS Course, and give you a complete feedback once I'm done. Until then, I wish you a great summer.
Thanks so much for this feedback. It means a lot. I feel there is a bit of progression through the lessons here of just getting a bit more comfortable talking to a camera and all that stuff, and they get a _bit_ more engaging later on in the course. Really trying to get as much feedback as I can before starting an SAA course, so this is great info. Out of the gate, I'll be making the future lessons with UA-cam in mind so a lot of the links won't have that imbedded/interactive approach. I really like the description timestamp/chapter reference idea. In theory, viewers would likely be pausing the video at that point to check out the material, so it would serve both as the link to the material, as well as being an easy to find bookmark to jump to that point in the video to return to it later. I may also have a do course landing page type thing on an external site, with the YT lesson videos embedded in it. I can wrap the lesson video with additional links and context so everything is in one spot and easier to follow along. For the overall lesson format, I wanted to avoid having just simple bullet point type slides as the core material delivery approach like many others I've seen, but feel I may have taken it too far in some cases. I've left students to stare me with my talking head style lessons for long stretches, which I imagine is just as boring in some cases. For the future course(s), I'll try to find that happy mix of cool visuals to make core ideas/concepts memorable/relatable, mixed in with some talking head and a bit of slide-based content, and keeping the overall edit more fast paced. Lots of ideas to try out to keep things much more energetic and engaging in the future. :) Again, really appreciate your time for the great feedback, and trusting me and the lessons as part of your study material. Looking forward to further feedback once you're done. Be sure to follow up the course here with my CCP practice exam video as it will call out some possible AWS services to be aware of that I saw when I re-took the CCP exam recently that aren't directly covered in the course lessons. And yes, be sure to enjoy the summer as well. They go by way too fast.
I just started watching. I am new into tech with no programming language or coding skill. I hope this videos can help me on my cloud computing journey.
I passed! Awesome content. I like your teaching style. I watched this video and Udemy exam simulation questions with some free UA-cam "real exam questions" I guess you're working on your AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate videos. Can't wait to see that! Thank you!
hey there. can you explain how you cleared it?can i consider this video as my resource and clear the examination . kindly tell me your preparation method to pass the exam
Hello, thank you so much for this course! at 1.33.58 you mention something about a quiz. Where do I get access to that? Also, I am unable to see anything when you provide links with your hands:)
I’ve personally decided to skip this cert as it’s a bit too basic. I feel AWS should make this one free. It’s great for turning people into AWS advocates, and to help sales people sell AWS services. If you have some AWS experience under your belt this cert is silly. You should shoot for a few associate level certifications. Then move into specialty certifications, and then finally, you should be ready to knock out a few professional ones. If go that route your knowledge should stack from cert to cert making the tests a bit more easy as you progress.
I saw your comment come in as I started watching. I totally agree with you! If it was free, I would get the Certified Cloud Practitioner cert, just to say I have it. I'm working towards getting a Certified DevOps Engineer Professional cert. Like you I've started with a few Associate builder certs, and now I'm about ready to get my Professional cert. This is the way!
Thanks! It's great that you've taken that first step to learning cloud and AWS. An exciting and rewarding future awaits you! Let me know if I can help with anything as you go through the course.
Hey there, I just thank you for putting this valuable content for free. I achieved my CLF-C02 certification. This course was my main resource along with some mock tests from Cloud Guru. I would like to thank you for creating such a great course.
Oh... and as for feedback that you requested.... Visual aides and well described demonstrations that explain the what AND the why are absolutely vital. You did a great job with these, just want to see this teaching style flourish. Thank again!
Thanks! Yeah, I've learned a lot since doing that course and the next ones should greatly improve the student learning experience. My next courses will have a lot more hands-on demos and project-based walk-throughs of topics, as that will be important with those associate/specialty/professional exam scopes and for the real world. I'm taking a little break to refresh the website and to build a new course hosting platform so I have the flexibility with the course design I'm after. The summer has been busy with work and the kids being out of school, but I should be able to pick up the pace again soon. Thanks again for checking out the course and don't hesitate if you have any questions! Always happy to help!
There are some instances where he sends you off to do homework but its not common and he only ever directs you to official AWS documentation which is good to get used to reading anyways. Make no mistake this is 7 hours of very palatable, very relevant information regarding the CCF. I would recommend moving from this course onto another one just to solidify what this one teaches, as other courses go more in depth in a few areas.
Ok. I've had enough asks for this now. I'll get started on it. I'll likely release lesson-by-lesson as a playlist or something initially, then tie it all into one or two long-format videos once everything is ready. For the depth I want to get into for the SAA, it will likely be a few months before the course would be complete given the time constraints I have. So not sure if you can wait that long, but there will be some stuff soon. Thanks for the request!
I appreciate you trying out this course on UA-cam. Question: If I study for the CLF-C01 but have to take the CLF-C02 exam, is that going to be an issue for me?
I feel it will be as it doesn't appear that there is a lot of new scope to the CLF-C02 version. One area that isn't covered seems to be the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF). Have a good read through the ebook of the CAF landing page to get up-to-speed on this if you'll be doing the CLF-C02 - aws.amazon.com/cloud-adoption-framework/ Some details about the CLF-C01 --> CLF-C02 changes for reference: aws.amazon.com/blogs/training-and-certification/coming-soon-updates-to-aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-exam/ d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-cloud-practitioner/AWS-Certified-Cloud-Practitioner_Exam-Guide.pdf I'll take the new CCP exam version soon after it becomes available and make updates or create a new course if needed. If updates occur, they'd be available here - training.cloudvikings.io/course/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-clf-01
hey! since you're kinda replying to most people here, i hope you see this. Im curious if this video would be enough for me to be good with at least having a conversation with someone who is good with AWS. Would love it if you said this would be enough for me to take the exam as well :P
Hey! Thanks for checking out the video. Yeah, the course will certainly ramp you up on all the fundamentals of cloud computing and introduce many of the core AWS services. You’d for sure be able to have some great conversations with experienced AWS users, understand what they’re talking about and ask intelligent questions. As for the exam, the course will prepare you to pass it, but I’d recommend spending some time going through the AWS documentation and following the course up with my CCP practice exam video, as that will highlight some other services and topic areas you will want to review prior to the exam. Please reach out if you have questions, or just want to have a conversation about AWS and your training/career goals!
@@Snee4k Amazing! Also, if you’re in Canada or the US, check out this AWS webinar coming up on the 30th as another source of study material - aws.amazon.com/events/webinars/NAMER-event-OE-20230630-AWS-Cloud-Practitioner-Essentials-Day-2023-reg-event/
A hour in and I decided "You know what? I am going to support by buying the course." Once I pass this exam I will be enrolling into your Linux course as well.
Yes, not much has changed between the exam versions and the course is still very relevant. If you check out the course here, I've included additional lesson sections that reference some of the new additions (Cloud Adoption Framework, etc.) cloudvikings.io/course/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-clf-01 Thanks for checking out the course and let me know if you have any questions as you go through it!
Passed this exam and wanted to say thank you!! Sat for exam at Vue testing center. After the survey at the end of the exam I received the “pass” message, however unlike the CompTIA exams, I did not receive any paperwork saying I passed, is that normal?
Amazing! Congrats! Keep the momentum going if you're planning on taking an associate level one at some point. As for the official exam results, It can sometimes take a few business days to get the official email and see the certification details added to your AWS Training and Certification account...along with your badge available in Credly to share with your professional network.
@@cloudvikings thank you for the reply. Are you planning to provide training for other AWS certifications? I’d be willing to pay for it as I truly believe your teaching style is the best I’ve seen. Thanks again!
Great to hear, Thanks! Behind the scenes here, I'm reworking the site and figuring out some course framework that will let me build the new courses the way I want. It's just been slow with work/family demands this summer. Hoping to get some more free time soon to get moving on the site and start building some new courses. I'm still struggling with a pricing structure as I wan't to keep the courses as accessible as possible, but I'll figure out something. May trial a donation/name-your-price model and see how that goes. Free (maybe videos ad-supported on YT), then if students feel the course was of value, buy me a coffee or something if they can. :) It will likely take a while to get the next course together (and already working out a plan for the CCP course refresh for the new exam version (which doesn't change much)), but if you're interested, I'd love to get a bunch of folks enrolled early as beta testers and get early feedback! If you're looking to start studying for an associate level course or something else soon, let me know and I can recommend some courses/resources.
Hey Alberto! Great job! Getting started, that first step, is often the hardest. Focus on that long-term career and life goal. Learning cloud and AWS is a long journey, but stay consistent with your study and practice, and those certification and career dreams will become a reality. All the best with your training voyage and reach out if you have any questions along the way! El esfuerzo valdrá la pena.
Amazing! Congrats on the CCP! Take a short break and jump right into an associate level exam study session if you plan on doing more AWS certs. You'll have a great foundation of AWS topics now and it'll make the next step a bit easier with all of this info fresh in your mind. Keep going!
Man what a teacher, amazing learning, Most of the courses i tried taking tend to be very booring in the very initial stages, as i tried taking courses from very big known teachers from the Cloud domain.
I'm one hour into your course, and I just want to thank you for your description and visualization of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. I've taken several courses for my degree that touched briefly on them, but never fully understood them. Five minutes of your lecture was enough for me to figure them out and be able to correctly discern which aspects fall under my responsibility or the provider's responsibility. Can't wait to continue the course! Thank you again!
Same here, I have learned a great deal about AWS on and off and I just started learning for the exam. The idea of as a service is always tossed around by most people in tech and I’m not sure they even understand it.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that a person could look and sound so serious and not be boring 😂 Great content. Love it so far 👍🏾👌🏾 I’m sitting for the exam in a week🤞
LOL - Well, if you make it through the course without falling asleep at some point with my monotone voice...you're truly committed to learning AWS! 😃 Thanks for checking out the video as part of your study material! Be sure to follow up this course with the CCP practice exam video on the channel here as part of your review. I re-took the CCP exam just before making that video to try to get a fresh perspective of the latest exam question types, and feel it will help guide you to other areas and services to review so you're well prepared for whatever they throw at you. If an AWS service is mentioned in the practice exam video answers (even if it's the wrong answer for the specific question), take a minute to review what that service is about at a high-level if you're not familiar with it. Some non-"Core" services like Lightsail, Outposts, Inspector, GuardDuty, SecurityHub, etc. can be in scope and could see some questions come up. From the CCP exam guide ( d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-cloud-practitioner/AWS-Certified-Cloud-Practitioner_Exam-Guide.pdf ) , use the appendix section of services listed at the end of the guide, then spend a minute or two on each one to search out the AWS documentation on that service, and skim through the FAQ section for each one. The FAQs are a great overview of what the service is all about, and some key things to know about it. For services that may not have a FAQ section, usually the first "intro" section in the AWS user guide will provide a similar high-level overview. The Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) is an interesting area to consider as part of the general benefits of cloud/AWS story and how the "capabilities and perspectives" in that can guide customers measure and improve their "readiness" of a full cloud migration and overall cloud adoption. - aws.amazon.com/cloud-adoption-framework/ The AWS Well-Architected Pillars and respective design principles are always great to be aware of - aws.amazon.com/architecture/well-architected/ All the best with your study and exam! You'll do great! 🚀☁ If you have any questions along the way, please reach out!
Thanks for checking it out! This course was my first attempt at any form of "content creation", so I was doing a ton of experimenting along the way. It's a long story behind my learning journey with video, audio, editing, graphics, etc. but for my new courses, I think I have things a lot more figured out and will be even better. After going through Adobe Premiere, and then FCP, I've settled on Davinci Resolve as my main video editing software. It's been rock solid for me and I enjoy using it. I'm starting to get more familiar with the Fusion aspects of it for more advanced compositing and graphic animations, but still lots to learn there. For screen recordings, I've been primarily using OBS for that these days. For the drawing on the screen stuff I had in a few lessons, you can use any type of paint software and just draw over a black background. I preferred the more chalk-type brushes. Most editing software will have keying capabilities or blending modes like "screen" or "multiply" that will essentially remove the black background and just leave your drawings so it looks like you're drawing over the video. There's a free version of Davinci Resolve that will likely be more than enough for any editing needs, and OBS is also free. Start doing your own videos of the things you learn along the way! No better way to review and burn that information into memory than teaching others! Reach out if you have more questions and want to get more into the specifics of what I'd recommend. I've wasted a ton of time and money on learning programs and on video/audio gear trying to figure things out on my own, so if I can help avoid any of that pain for you, let me know. All the best with your study!
I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional video lesson. The content was incredibly informative and engaging, making the learning process both enjoyable and effective. What particularly stood out to me was the presenter's tone - it was clear, enthusiastic, and very encouraging. This made a significant difference in how the material was received. Great job on creating such a valuable learning resource. Looking forward to more content like this!
I work in a Data Center and they gave us the login credentials to AWS Dashboard and that's about it. I've been struggling. I feel like this is going to bite me in the ass sooner or later. I'm stressed.
Kindly add the links you keep referring to. Its probably an issue from our end (Africa) but I reckon they would be helpful + the blog links. Thank you!! now back to Domain 2!
Thanks! I'm glad they are helpful for your study. I plan to do a practice exam question review video, walking through questions similar to you would see on the exam, and explaining the right and wrong answers and showing the AWS resource references to find more info on that topic. I hope to have that completed in a few days, so it will be great review material just before your exam! All the best with your study efforts and good luck on the exam and your journey into a career in cloud!
I'm hooked on every word. I had the pleasure of reading something similar, and I was completely hooked. "Mastering AWS: A Software Engineers Guide" by Nathan Vale
Yes, I feel it would be more than enough to pass the exam as-is. There were a number of other supporting non-video lessons, quizzes and practice exam simulators on the other course hosting platform I was using that I can't offer through UA-cam. The student stats I had showed quite a few skipped over these quiz and non-video sections anyways and they were successful in passing regardless. That being said, I'd still suggest that after going through the course, take a look at the other links in the description for Cloud Quest, and of course the AWS documentation mentioned in the videos, to help reinforce your learning and provide additional context to certain topics and AWS service specifics. Take your time, over-learn the topic areas and focus more on the understanding of the exam topics rather than just passing the exam. If you're over prepared, it will make the AWS Certified Solutions Architect associate or whatever next certification path you have in mind that much easier, and you'll be better prepared for applying what you learned on the job or in an interview situation rather than just have a cert to your name. All the best with your study voyage and let me know if there are any questions along the way!
@@cloudvikings my exam is next month and I want to start preparing for it and after finishing your helpful training, I'm going to take some exam practice tests to be ready and pass the exam
Hello Mr. Viking, I am unable to see the links on the video, I even bought your course on your website to see if I could get my hands on some of the resources you've mentioned, but to no avail. I was hoping you could give me the list of resources outlined in this course. (Example: links to the blog post and articles.) Thank you :)
Thanks for checking out the course and the support! In the course player on the site, there is a Discuss tab where links to a lot of the links to the documentation referenced in the videos are provided. If they're missing, add a message post in that Discuss tab on the lesson and I'll get you whatever is missing. If you have any questions as you go through the lessons, please reach out! DM me through the course or drop a post in one of the lessons and I'll do my best to help!
Hey man ! Great content. I am planning to give my exam next week. Thank you so much for sharing this. However I cant see any in video links or Annotations in the video. Its hard to go to the links you are talking about. Like for reliablilty pillars.
Nice! Thanks for checking out the video! Yeah, the original course hosting platform I used enabled these interactive pop-up links. Transferring the video lessons into UA-cam doesn't provide that same functionality. If you enrol in the course here, I'll have the links for the reference docs and some other stuff added in the next day or two so it's easier to follow along - cloudvikings.io/courses/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-clf-c01/
I've just completed the first hour of this course, and I wanted to express my gratitude for being such an exceptional tutor and for dedicating your time to teaching us. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks! That means a lot. This was my first attempt at doing something like this and learning as I go. I feel the lessons keep getting better as you get later in the course. Always open to feedback to make future videos and courses better.
As you go through the course please reach out if there are any questions!
Be sure to check out the my AWS CCP practice exam video as well and spend some time reviewing the AWS services that come up in those practice questions to ensure you're familiar with them at a high level. At that point, you'll be well prepared pass the CCP exam and have a great foundation to build on for the associate level certifications as well!
All the best with your cloud study voyage!
@@cloudvikings hey instructor can you please make a video on invigilation and the process at the exam time
Hey, I just achieved my CLF-C02 certification. This course was my main resource along with some mock tests from Udemy. I would like to thank you for creating such a great course.
This made a significant difference in my learning. I still had to go through some more AWS features but this course covers most of the new syllabus.
Just wanted to come back and say I passed CLF-C02 from mostly this video. I needed to review some of the services more prior to my test but it did cover the majority of the content. This video is based off of CLF-C01 so some of the information has been moved to different domains, but all of the same material was covered. One of the better free training's out there.
Congrats and thanks so much!
Congrats
I FINSHED ITTTT!!!!
Did you get the certificate?
Where's the certificate bro??
@@be_happy_sonu @brsp I didn't get it yet 💀
How is the course?
appreciate all the effort here! Along with some of the free AWS content available it worked!
Just finished Domain 1, so far so good and you have me thinking about how to embrace the cloud. Would be nice if you had references links or a study guide.
Hi Mike!
I just wanted to give my thanks for this course; it has been very helpful in helping me pass the exam. The visuals and diagrams helped me visualize how AWS works. Lightsail, Outpost, and CloudWatch are some AWS services you might want to cover in the future.
Thanks again for this course! 🙂
Amazing! Congrats on passing the CCP!
Keep the momentum and tackle the associate certs if you're looking to continue the AWS cert journey.
Yes, there are some gaps in some of the service coverage due to the transition of this course to UA-cam from my previous LMS hosting platform. There was quite a bit of supplemental guides, video references, and other review material that got into some of those areas. I feel the content here covers 90% or so of all the possible exam topics, so when used with reviewing the AWS documentation, AWS Skill Builder, and other references, it will fill in those gaps.
Amazing job on pushing through the study efforts and passing the exam!
@@cloudvikings Thank you!☺
Have you received a job yet? I’m thinking about getting the certification.
@@BigjayB This cert itself wont give you a job, but hand on experience + the cert it could
I'm what you could call a S.T.A.R. specialized training through alternative routes. I've been working in IT, networking, and technology since 2004 but don't have a cert to my name. I'm looking to make that happen since I've had a lucrative job offer as a jr. Systems engineer come into play. Listening to this content gas helped me realize how much i actually know. It really helps me have the confidence to take that step and actually start getting my certifications built up and dang, I sure appreciate you for helping to lay this out for us. Can't wait to update with ky cert completion status. Git 'er done! 🍻
Amazing! With your background, you'll have little trouble getting started with the cloud technology areas and getting through the certs. Often folks jump into cloud and start collecting certs, yet have no foundation in general IT and networking concepts. They really struggle in certain cloud roles with out that solid base, or their knowledge falls a part during interviews. Cert's can help give you a learning framework to to keep building skills in new areas, but don't make them the ultimate goal. Take your time studying, build projects as you go to both get more hands-on experience and provide more context to what you're learning and understand how different services and technologies can be used together to solve real-world challenges.
Anyways, sounds like you have a great foundation to build on and the motivation to keep learning which is the main thing. 2024 is your year! Go!
Although AWS skill builder guides in more details and gives good breakdown. But your course helped me to revise the concepts in short time.
Thank you for your efforts.
I passed my exam yesterday using this course. Thank you so much brother for your help
Congrats! Great work! The foundation is built now. Keep the momentum.
@@cloudvikings thank you. Now waiting forward to a developer course
I’m about halfway through your course series for the CCP. I recently just finished my Core 1 A+ exam too. Grateful for your dedication to teaching us how to navigate AWS and comprehend cloud concepts. Looking forward to see more courses like this from you on UA-cam.
Awesome! Thanks for checking out the course as part of your study sources.
I'd suggest checking out the course here (there's coupon codes to get it for free if you want) - cloudvikings.io/course/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-clf-01
It's the same videos as this one on UA-cam, but broken into individual lessons which may be easier to jump around and find certain topics to review and will track your progress so you can easily resume where you left off. I also have a few lesson additions that have links to new content that is for the CLF-C02 scope that isn't covered in the lessons directly. Not much changed with the CLF-C02 exam version, but I've called out recommended AWS documents and other references that will ensure you have covered all the exam topic areas for the latest exam version.
All the best with your study and let me know if you have any questions along the way!
I am going to get my cloud practitioner and cloud administrator. Thanks again
I know how much work goes into creating a course. I am definately buying your coures. Thanks for making it.
Edit: I bought it. :) I will report back when I finish it. Cheers
Listen up buddy, you are the greatest, hardworking teacher and youtuber ever, we cant thank you enough for this amazing work we just hope that you achieve all your goals and desires❤❤
For 4.99, I will buy your course. Thank you for putting this together.
Thank you for your awesome video. lots of love and respect from India
This deserves more appreciation! Thanks for creating something beyond a proper course. I Was tired of memorising stuff for solutions architect (and of the people saying you don’t need ccp level knowledge) and found other courses all the same - slides, descriptions, million services and questions. This particular course enlightens rather than just running through stuff. Well done!
Thanks! Next courses will be even better. A lot more visuals, lesson design focused on memory retention of the material, ensuring the real-world application and context of the material, hands on labs (building projects as we go)...
I put a lot of time in ramping up my video editing and motion graphics skills along with some other stuff. (It's like a whole new world/hobby for me)
I've also invested in some gear for my setup here recently, so hopefully it all results in some better productivity and leveled-up lessons. :)
Future courses/videos, I plan to have a bit more fast-paced lessons and switch things up. I feel that by avoiding the boring slides approach I took in this course, many of the lessons of just that "talking head" style, which I feel may also get a bit boring by staring at me rambling on.
If you check out more of the course (it improves as you go), I always appreciate any feedback good/bad. You won't hurt my feelings - keep it real! :)
Also, in the next week or two, I should have some news of an alternate way to go through the course lessons here. Keep an eye out for that.
Thanks again for checking out the course and let me know if you have any questions, CCP scope or beyond! Cheers!
thank you for this course ! served as a great guide and an introduction into AWS and cloud world in general. also, say hello to Norman for me haha
Happy the course helped with your study. I'll make sure Norman gets an extra treat for for helping out :)
I've been looking for a course on aws certifications and to be honest i kinda like your style of teaching btw great work you're doing it feels great to be part of this youtube family this early , I hope this channel grow more and more and students and self learners may get to know about cloud. 🚀🚀
Thanks! Glad you found the course. Yeah, I hope this grows into a great community of learners over time.
As for my teaching style, I appreciate the comment. Still getting used to talking to a camera and figuring out lesson development stuff, but overall I want to try and avoid the slide-heavy bullet point type lessons I commonly see around and keep things a bit more entertaining. Always open to any feedback to help make future videos and courses better!
Thanks again for checking out the course and all the best with your study journey!
Reach out if you have any questions!
Dude, listen to me, I’ve seen many tutorials any many subjects on cloud. But your way of teaching is extraordinary. Not kidding.
1. Your voice is not annoying (very important)
2. Presentation is perfect
3. It’s very in depth and I like you reference to blue prints and white papers
4. It really feels like if you spend these 7 hours paying close attention, you’ll definitely end up gaining tons of well structured info. That’s very important. It’s not random or just slightly touching, it’s in depth from kernel to shell analogy. I’m really enjoying it and think you’re gifted. Keep doing this precious stuff. Job hunting at moment and can’t afford to buy your courses at the moment but definitely will do later when hired.
Thank you. And know that your content is super quality! Kudos!
Wow, thanks so much! So glad the content was helpful as part of your study journey!
Good luck with the job search and keep the learning momentum going.
I went through the whole course, thanks for the content - it was quite a journey :)
Wow, that’s a lot of time staring at me on a screen. 😀 Nice work getting through the lessons, and be sure to check out the CCP practice exam video on the channel!

Hey, I’m done. I just got certified today on Cloud Practitioner. Thanks !
@@brsp Amazing job! Congrats!
Your way of teaching is awesome,and i love how much efforts u have put into making of the tutorial...but i have a few things as i stand in the middle of the course..
1.I can't see those options or hyperlinks in your website as well😓.
2.can u also say if the white papers and other documentations u r suggesting r mandatory to go through?.i am actually preferring to follow your 7 hr course without referring aws sheets ,i hope the knowledge from uour course alone would be sufficient for the exam?
Finally through the entire video (at 1.75x, haha). The knowledge you have and share is amazing, it definitely seems like you have a ton of experience and background on using AWS, and the editing is surprisingly high level.. I need to get on that for my hobby videos! The only thing that made it tougher on youtube was not having those links you intended to share that was used on your previous platform. I liked the viking touch like in the graphics and other interactive animations and edits. Thanks
Thanks! Yeah, the video playback speed is key. I often 2.5-4x videos to pre-skim videos to get a high-level idea of the content, try to take a few notes to summarize what I captured (just core ideas/topics), form some of my own questions around this, then if needed, I'll do a later pass at maybe 1.5-2x to see what I missed, etc. but I find my attention is a lot more focused heading into that 2nd pass as I'm reviewing with specific areas I'm trying to answer or get clarification on.
You'd be surprised how much you can retain even beyond the 2x speeds. After a few minutes, you get used to it and it feels "normal".
My next courses (and the eventual CCP refresh of this one) will be a different format and the links and stuff will be sorted out, and a much better overall "course" experience.
Looking back on the lessons in this course (these were done a while back), the editing and a lot of things I find pretty rough knowing what I know now. I've been down sooo many rabbit holes the past year or so with video editors, learning the sea of "content creation" skills, sound design, improving my recording equipment (video/audio), sound treatment, etc. etc.... it's been fun though. A lot of new hobbies discovered in the process.
I've been in the shadows the last little while due to time demands over the summer here, but picking away at the website a bit when I can, and getting the frameworks in place for the next round of courses to come.
Thanks again for your comments and checking out the course!
How did you do that
Worth subscription to your channel 👏 👌 and lets dive with you from AWS Foundation with CV
Thanks! Welcome to the channel!
This is very nice
After 4 days of intense studying and researching for this course I've reached the end! My next stop is the Practice Test provided by this channel along with a few others. For any gaps in my education I will refer back tot his video. Thanks Cloud Vikings, this free resource has been invaluable!
Great job! Yeah, hit the practice test and dig into all the services that get mentioned there for full coverage of the topics.
hey i am going to start this video. is this video enough to pass the cloud practioner exam or do i have to study extra after this ? kindly reply
Thanks for checking out the video! Yeah, lots of folks were successful with just the video (check comments). However, I'd say at a minimum, follow this up with my practice exam video on the channel here as well.
I don't have the background context to your existing experience, goals, etc., but I'd try not to rush through a single video as the sole training resource. Spend some time digesting it all, reading through the AWS docs referenced in the course (and docs related to services mentioned in the practice exam video), and some hands-on experience (CCP scope doesn't really require too much of this), and you'll really have a solid foundation for the exam, and to build upon for other AWS certifications.
Also, keep an eye out for a minor update in the next few days (hopefully) in the channel here. Should have a bit better course experience for these lessons and some additional supplemental resources (all the links to the docs I reference, more quizzes, practice exam simulator, etc.)
Let me know if there are any questions along the way! Cheers!
@@cloudvikings hey thanks for replying . regarding my experience in aws , i am actually a clg student and my college taught me aws cloud last semester with hands on . so i think i have some idea about this course. but still i will follow this video and your practice exam video and write the exam . thanks mate 🥰😃

Hi Mike, I noticed sometimes when you point at your screen the link doesn't display. However, am enjoying your pattern of teaching because I comprehend better with illustrations. You are doing a fantastic job with this course. Thank you!
Thanks so much! Slowly getting better at this course and video stuff. As for the links, these lessons were originally made for a different course hosting platform and the interactive link pop up’s don’t work the same on UA-cam. If you can’t find the documentation or reference site I mention, let me know and I’ll pass those along.
All feedback is welcome to make future videos and courses better, and don’t hesitate if you have any questions through the course!
A minutue of silience for all those who paid for the course.
I understand links are missing, but isn't it possible for you to input the links in the UA-cam platform? It might take some time, but this will help a lot with the flow of learning and understanding your video. I know it's possible, because UA-camrs usually use it for saying "subscribe" here or something like that.
Thanks again, you've a great voice for teaching :)
Yeah, I've used the "cards" in videos that you can place to do things like suggest other videos and subscribe links, but I wasn't aware of the ability to do straight external links.
I did some quick research on this, and there does seem to be a way to make these cards as an external link type which would be perfect. I looked at the terms and conditions related to the external links, and it gets a little complicated. YT seems to want to avoid links to external sources outside of the UA-cam domain. It's largely to prevent links to sites that violate their community guidelines, which I can't see AWS documentation references and similar links being an issue, but I'll look into more of the details around this soon and add in the links if I can.
I've been thinking about making other certification course videos, and I'll approach them differently so they're better suited to the UA-cam platform, viewing experience and learning flow.
In the meantime, if there are any links or references in the video you can't find, let me know!
As for my voice, thanks!
I hated doing the editing part and hearing myself initially. It's that typical "do I really sound like this??". I've become desensitized to my own voice and staring at myself through the hours of editing at this point. :D
I'm slowly getting more comfortable talking to a camera and the whole video/content creation stuff, so the next courses and future videos should be much more refined. Also working on adding a bit more energy into future videos so folks don't fall asleep watching them! :D
Always welcome any feedback to improve!
Thanks again for your suggestion on the embedded links, and all the best with your study and cert exam(s)!
@@cloudvikings I find you better than most UA-camrs. You are relaxed and maybe can seem a bit off tune (same voice and tune all the way, which can be boring), but at least it is very clear to understand you. And you still try to do some jokes, which is nice. Teaching people this way can simulate a better understanding when you are comparing the concepts with real-life scenarios. So keep up the good work with that. + I can agree that a lil bit of energy into the teaching material would make a positive impact.
Another recommendation for your YT video and regarding the links issue; Maybe you could just add the links into the description for each Domain/Topic. This way it will be much easier for you to edit the description and add the links that you're talking about:
(For example: 2:13:41), here you are talking about material, but im not sure which one. But under the description of your YT, you could write something like this: "2:08:06 - Right-Sized Infrastructure (add link here)".
This would be much appreciated for me and im sure other people too, since I have already spent around 5-10 mins in looking for the correct material that you're talking about. And im still not yet even sure that the link is "/aws-cost-optimization/Right Sizing" for the example that I mentioned.
Anyway, looking forward to finish your YT AWS Course, and give you a complete feedback once I'm done. Until then, I wish you a great summer.
Thanks so much for this feedback. It means a lot.
I feel there is a bit of progression through the lessons here of just getting a bit more comfortable talking to a camera and all that stuff, and they get a _bit_ more engaging later on in the course.
Really trying to get as much feedback as I can before starting an SAA course, so this is great info.
Out of the gate, I'll be making the future lessons with UA-cam in mind so a lot of the links won't have that imbedded/interactive approach.
I really like the description timestamp/chapter reference idea. In theory, viewers would likely be pausing the video at that point to check out the material, so it would serve both as the link to the material, as well as being an easy to find bookmark to jump to that point in the video to return to it later. I may also have a do course landing page type thing on an external site, with the YT lesson videos embedded in it. I can wrap the lesson video with additional links and context so everything is in one spot and easier to follow along.
For the overall lesson format, I wanted to avoid having just simple bullet point type slides as the core material delivery approach like many others I've seen, but feel I may have taken it too far in some cases. I've left students to stare me with my talking head style lessons for long stretches, which I imagine is just as boring in some cases.
For the future course(s), I'll try to find that happy mix of cool visuals to make core ideas/concepts memorable/relatable, mixed in with some talking head and a bit of slide-based content, and keeping the overall edit more fast paced. Lots of ideas to try out to keep things much more energetic and engaging in the future. :)
Again, really appreciate your time for the great feedback, and trusting me and the lessons as part of your study material.
Looking forward to further feedback once you're done. Be sure to follow up the course here with my CCP practice exam video as it will call out some possible AWS services to be aware of that I saw when I re-took the CCP exam recently that aren't directly covered in the course lessons.
And yes, be sure to enjoy the summer as well. They go by way too fast.
I just started watching. I am new into tech with no programming language or coding skill. I hope this videos can help me on my cloud computing journey.
I passed! Awesome content. I like your teaching style. I watched this video and Udemy exam simulation questions with some free UA-cam "real exam questions" I guess you're working on your AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate videos. Can't wait to see that! Thank you!
hey there. can you explain how you cleared it?can i consider this video as my resource and clear the examination . kindly tell me your preparation method to pass the exam
Thank you so much for this very well structured course, you helped me to pass my test. Thank you so much !
Congrats! Keep going!
Hello, thank you so much for this course! at 1.33.58 you mention something about a quiz. Where do I get access to that? Also, I am unable to see anything when you provide links with your hands:)
I’ve personally decided to skip this cert as it’s a bit too basic. I feel AWS should make this one free. It’s great for turning people into AWS advocates, and to help sales people sell AWS services. If you have some AWS experience under your belt this cert is silly. You should shoot for a few associate level certifications. Then move into specialty certifications, and then finally, you should be ready to knock out a few professional ones. If go that route your knowledge should stack from cert to cert making the tests a bit more easy as you progress.
I saw your comment come in as I started watching. I totally agree with you! If it was free, I would get the Certified Cloud Practitioner cert, just to say I have it. I'm working towards getting a Certified DevOps Engineer Professional cert. Like you I've started with a few Associate builder certs, and now I'm about ready to get my Professional cert. This is the way!
Best explanation ever ❤❤ thanks mike
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
completed the course. thanks!! 1 suggestion, don't Put the 10second intro and 10second outro after every video
I finished it. Thanks Mike! You’re a great teacher. I need to learn everything in detail now then prepare for my exam.
OMG. This is really what kind of video i was looking for to obtain AWS fondamental certification❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks! It's great that you've taken that first step to learning cloud and AWS. An exciting and rewarding future awaits you!
Let me know if I can help with anything as you go through the course.
as a freelancer what is the future as a cloud engineer
Hey there, I just thank you for putting this valuable content for free. I achieved my CLF-C02 certification. This course was my main resource along with some mock tests from Cloud Guru. I would like to thank you for creating such a great course.
Congrats!🎉 Thanks for checking out the course and glad it helped as part of your study material. Thinking of doing the SAA next, or taking a break?
@@cloudvikings I was actually thinking of getting DVA-C02 and then DevOps professional.
But guide what is good for the future.
When you'll upload developer associate training course?
Oh... and as for feedback that you requested.... Visual aides and well described demonstrations that explain the what AND the why are absolutely vital. You did a great job with these, just want to see this teaching style flourish. Thank again!
Thanks! Yeah, I've learned a lot since doing that course and the next ones should greatly improve the student learning experience.
My next courses will have a lot more hands-on demos and project-based walk-throughs of topics, as that will be important with those associate/specialty/professional exam scopes and for the real world.
I'm taking a little break to refresh the website and to build a new course hosting platform so I have the flexibility with the course design I'm after. The summer has been busy with work and the kids being out of school, but I should be able to pick up the pace again soon.
Thanks again for checking out the course and don't hesitate if you have any questions! Always happy to help!
awesome
Most courses on AWS CCP are 10-14 hrs long. How are you able to streamline your course ? Did you need to omit things? If so, what did you remove ?
There are some instances where he sends you off to do homework but its not common and he only ever directs you to official AWS documentation which is good to get used to reading anyways. Make no mistake this is 7 hours of very palatable, very relevant information regarding the CCF. I would recommend moving from this course onto another one just to solidify what this one teaches, as other courses go more in depth in a few areas.
Do you know when the Solutions Architect one will be released?
The video is really awesome and really helped me to gain more clear concept in ccp.... thank u so much for your hard work and your video...
hey instructor can you please make a video on invigilation and the process at the exam time
Sure, I’ll get a video out on that shortly!
Hello @Cloud Vikings waiting for your Solution Architect associate video
Ok. I've had enough asks for this now. I'll get started on it.
I'll likely release lesson-by-lesson as a playlist or something initially, then tie it all into one or two long-format videos once everything is ready.
For the depth I want to get into for the SAA, it will likely be a few months before the course would be complete given the time constraints I have. So not sure if you can wait that long, but there will be some stuff soon.
Thanks for the request!
I appreciate you trying out this course on UA-cam. Question: If I study for the CLF-C01 but have to take the CLF-C02 exam, is that going to be an issue for me?
I feel it will be as it doesn't appear that there is a lot of new scope to the CLF-C02 version.
One area that isn't covered seems to be the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF).
Have a good read through the ebook of the CAF landing page to get up-to-speed on this if you'll be doing the CLF-C02 - aws.amazon.com/cloud-adoption-framework/
Some details about the CLF-C01 --> CLF-C02 changes for reference:
aws.amazon.com/blogs/training-and-certification/coming-soon-updates-to-aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-exam/
d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-cloud-practitioner/AWS-Certified-Cloud-Practitioner_Exam-Guide.pdf
I'll take the new CCP exam version soon after it becomes available and make updates or create a new course if needed.
If updates occur, they'd be available here - training.cloudvikings.io/course/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-clf-01
hey! since you're kinda replying to most people here, i hope you see this. Im curious if this video would be enough for me to be good with at least having a conversation with someone who is good with AWS. Would love it if you said this would be enough for me to take the exam as well :P
Hey! Thanks for checking out the video. Yeah, the course will certainly ramp you up on all the fundamentals of cloud computing and introduce many of the core AWS services. You’d for sure be able to have some great conversations with experienced AWS users, understand what they’re talking about and ask intelligent questions.
As for the exam, the course will prepare you to pass it, but I’d recommend spending some time going through the AWS documentation and following the course up with my CCP practice exam video, as that will highlight some other services and topic areas you will want to review prior to the exam.
Please reach out if you have questions, or just want to have a conversation about AWS and your training/career goals!
@@cloudvikings thank you so much! I'll start watching the video now. I need to get my certification asap so yeah
Thank you!!!
@@Snee4k Amazing! Also, if you’re in Canada or the US, check out this AWS webinar coming up on the 30th as another source of study material - aws.amazon.com/events/webinars/NAMER-event-OE-20230630-AWS-Cloud-Practitioner-Essentials-Day-2023-reg-event/
A hour in and I decided "You know what? I am going to support by buying the course." Once I pass this exam I will be enrolling into your Linux course as well.
Thanks so much! Please reach out if you have questions along the way!
Is this still relevant for the C02 specification? I know too much hasn't been added since C01 to be fair.
Yes, not much has changed between the exam versions and the course is still very relevant.
If you check out the course here, I've included additional lesson sections that reference some of the new additions (Cloud Adoption Framework, etc.)

Thanks for checking out the course and let me know if you have any questions as you go through it!
1:15:55 anyone else notice the lil astronaut guy in the back? lol
Passed this exam and wanted to say thank you!!
Sat for exam at Vue testing center. After the survey at the end of the exam I received the “pass” message, however unlike the CompTIA exams, I did not receive any paperwork saying I passed, is that normal?
Amazing! Congrats!
Keep the momentum going if you're planning on taking an associate level one at some point.
As for the official exam results, It can sometimes take a few business days to get the official email and see the certification details added to your AWS Training and Certification account...along with your badge available in Credly to share with your professional network.
@@cloudvikings thank you! After passing Security+ on the 12th and CCP on the 25th I think I’ll take a break.
Thanks again!
@@cloudvikings thank you for the reply. Are you planning to provide training for other AWS certifications? I’d be willing to pay for it as I truly believe your teaching style is the best I’ve seen. Thanks again!
Great to hear, Thanks!
Behind the scenes here, I'm reworking the site and figuring out some course framework that will let me build the new courses the way I want. It's just been slow with work/family demands this summer. Hoping to get some more free time soon to get moving on the site and start building some new courses.
I'm still struggling with a pricing structure as I wan't to keep the courses as accessible as possible, but I'll figure out something. May trial a donation/name-your-price model and see how that goes. Free (maybe videos ad-supported on YT), then if students feel the course was of value, buy me a coffee or something if they can. :)
It will likely take a while to get the next course together (and already working out a plan for the CCP course refresh for the new exam version (which doesn't change much)), but if you're interested, I'd love to get a bunch of folks enrolled early as beta testers and get early feedback!
If you're looking to start studying for an associate level course or something else soon, let me know and I can recommend some courses/resources.
Like #47. I'm start in this world of AWS Cloud. 👍🏻
Best regards from panama 🇵🇦
Hey Alberto! Great job! Getting started, that first step, is often the hardest. Focus on that long-term career and life goal. Learning cloud and AWS is a long journey, but stay consistent with your study and practice, and those certification and career dreams will become a reality. All the best with your training voyage and reach out if you have any questions along the way!
El esfuerzo valdrá la pena.
@@cloudvikings Thanks for your answers.
Sure that in the future I need a voucher for the AWS CP certification exam, because is very expensive for Me.
I went through this course and documentation in 3 days and I passed CLF-C02 yesterday thanks to this course mostly.
Amazing! Congrats on the CCP! Take a short break and jump right into an associate level exam study session if you plan on doing more AWS certs. You'll have a great foundation of AWS topics now and it'll make the next step a bit easier with all of this info fresh in your mind.
Keep going!
Nice, love seeing you do full course Mike.
Man what a teacher, amazing learning, Most of the courses i tried taking tend to be very booring in the very initial stages, as i tried taking courses from very big known teachers from the Cloud domain.
Can you pass a AWS cert with this vid alone?
Love it ❤
Thanks so much! I just pinned a Discord server link in the comments. Reach out there if you have any questions along your study journey!
I'm one hour into your course, and I just want to thank you for your description and visualization of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. I've taken several courses for my degree that touched briefly on them, but never fully understood them. Five minutes of your lecture was enough for me to figure them out and be able to correctly discern which aspects fall under my responsibility or the provider's responsibility.
Can't wait to continue the course! Thank you again!
Same here, I have learned a great deal about AWS on and off and I just started learning for the exam. The idea of as a service is always tossed around by most people in tech and I’m not sure they even understand it.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that a person could look and sound so serious and not be boring 😂
Great content. Love it so far 👍🏾👌🏾
I’m sitting for the exam in a week🤞
LOL - Well, if you make it through the course without falling asleep at some point with my monotone voice...you're truly committed to learning AWS! 😃
Thanks for checking out the video as part of your study material!
Be sure to follow up this course with the CCP practice exam video on the channel here as part of your review. I re-took the CCP exam just before making that video to try to get a fresh perspective of the latest exam question types, and feel it will help guide you to other areas and services to review so you're well prepared for whatever they throw at you. If an AWS service is mentioned in the practice exam video answers (even if it's the wrong answer for the specific question), take a minute to review what that service is about at a high-level if you're not familiar with it. Some non-"Core" services like Lightsail, Outposts, Inspector, GuardDuty, SecurityHub, etc. can be in scope and could see some questions come up.
From the CCP exam guide ( d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-cloud-practitioner/AWS-Certified-Cloud-Practitioner_Exam-Guide.pdf ) , use the appendix section of services listed at the end of the guide, then spend a minute or two on each one to search out the AWS documentation on that service, and skim through the FAQ section for each one. The FAQs are a great overview of what the service is all about, and some key things to know about it. For services that may not have a FAQ section, usually the first "intro" section in the AWS user guide will provide a similar high-level overview.
The Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) is an interesting area to consider as part of the general benefits of cloud/AWS story and how the "capabilities and perspectives" in that can guide customers measure and improve their "readiness" of a full cloud migration and overall cloud adoption. - aws.amazon.com/cloud-adoption-framework/
The AWS Well-Architected Pillars and respective design principles are always great to be aware of - aws.amazon.com/architecture/well-architected/
All the best with your study and exam! You'll do great! 🚀☁
If you have any questions along the way, please reach out!
Thanks a lot 👍🏾
Great Training and content, if i may ask which Video tool you have used to create such great video..
Thanks for checking it out!
This course was my first attempt at any form of "content creation", so I was doing a ton of experimenting along the way.
It's a long story behind my learning journey with video, audio, editing, graphics, etc. but for my new courses, I think I have things a lot more figured out and will be even better.
After going through Adobe Premiere, and then FCP, I've settled on Davinci Resolve as my main video editing software. It's been rock solid for me and I enjoy using it. I'm starting to get more familiar with the Fusion aspects of it for more advanced compositing and graphic animations, but still lots to learn there.
For screen recordings, I've been primarily using OBS for that these days.
For the drawing on the screen stuff I had in a few lessons, you can use any type of paint software and just draw over a black background. I preferred the more chalk-type brushes. Most editing software will have keying capabilities or blending modes like "screen" or "multiply" that will essentially remove the black background and just leave your drawings so it looks like you're drawing over the video.
There's a free version of Davinci Resolve that will likely be more than enough for any editing needs, and OBS is also free.
Start doing your own videos of the things you learn along the way! No better way to review and burn that information into memory than teaching others!
Reach out if you have more questions and want to get more into the specifics of what I'd recommend. I've wasted a ton of time and money on learning programs and on video/audio gear trying to figure things out on my own, so if I can help avoid any of that pain for you, let me know.
All the best with your study!
I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional video lesson. The content was incredibly informative and engaging, making the learning process both enjoyable and effective. What particularly stood out to me was the presenter's tone - it was clear, enthusiastic, and very encouraging. This made a significant difference in how the material was received. Great job on creating such a valuable learning resource. Looking forward to more content like this!
Thanks so much for your kind words. Glad the video was helpful for you!
Hi i am beginner im not getting what is ECS and how it works like can anyone help me in a more understanding way ?

Hi can you please guide me to pass cloud partitioner exam
I passed my (CLF-C02). This video was my primary study material. Thank you.
Amazing! Keep the momentum!
I work in a Data Center and they gave us the login credentials to AWS Dashboard and that's about it. I've been struggling. I feel like this is going to bite me in the ass sooner or later. I'm stressed.
Hey, does your online course include notes? Just checking because I didn't see them, and I want to make sure I didn't miss anything
Kindly add the links you keep referring to. Its probably an issue from our end (Africa) but I reckon they would be helpful + the blog links. Thank you!! now back to Domain 2!
Just came to say thank you for the course. I wrote my EXAM this morning and passed. Thank you for your course. It was long and worth it
Congrats!
hey is coding important to pass the exam?
That's really amazing, doing my exam next week and this video are perfect, thanks from brazil!
Thanks! I'm glad they are helpful for your study. I plan to do a practice exam question review video, walking through questions similar to you would see on the exam, and explaining the right and wrong answers and showing the AWS resource references to find more info on that topic.
I hope to have that completed in a few days, so it will be great review material just before your exam!
All the best with your study efforts and good luck on the exam and your journey into a career in cloud!
@@cloudvikings i passed! Thank's
@@itsalltwobits Amazing! Great work! Take a quick break to recharge then keep the momentum towards the associate level certifications. You got this!
Marquei a minha para 17 de setembro e comecei a estudar hoje. Muita fé
I'm hooked on every word. I had the pleasure of reading something similar, and I was completely hooked. "Mastering AWS: A Software Engineers Guide" by Nathan Vale
Thank you very much for posting this training course. It's clear, interesting, and comprehensive. Thanks again !
Hi Mike, thanks for this helpful course, if i watched the whole course is it enough to pass the exam?
Yes, I feel it would be more than enough to pass the exam as-is.
There were a number of other supporting non-video lessons, quizzes and practice exam simulators on the other course hosting platform I was using that I can't offer through UA-cam. The student stats I had showed quite a few skipped over these quiz and non-video sections anyways and they were successful in passing regardless.
That being said, I'd still suggest that after going through the course, take a look at the other links in the description for Cloud Quest, and of course the AWS documentation mentioned in the videos, to help reinforce your learning and provide additional context to certain topics and AWS service specifics.
Take your time, over-learn the topic areas and focus more on the understanding of the exam topics rather than just passing the exam. If you're over prepared, it will make the AWS Certified Solutions Architect associate or whatever next certification path you have in mind that much easier, and you'll be better prepared for applying what you learned on the job or in an interview situation rather than just have a cert to your name.
All the best with your study voyage and let me know if there are any questions along the way!
@@cloudvikings thank you so much 🙏
@@cloudvikings my exam is next month and I want to start preparing for it and after finishing your helpful training, I'm going to take some exam practice tests to be ready and pass the exam
I appreciate you explaining everything thoroughly instead of rushing through like its a recap.
Hello Mr. Viking, I am unable to see the links on the video, I even bought your course on your website to see if I could get my hands on some of the resources you've mentioned, but to no avail. I was hoping you could give me the list of resources outlined in this course. (Example: links to the blog post and articles.) Thank you :)
Thanks for checking out the course and the support! In the course player on the site, there is a Discuss tab where links to a lot of the links to the documentation referenced in the videos are provided. If they're missing, add a message post in that Discuss tab on the lesson and I'll get you whatever is missing. If you have any questions as you go through the lessons, please reach out! DM me through the course or drop a post in one of the lessons and I'll do my best to help!
Hey man ! Great content. I am planning to give my exam next week. Thank you so much for sharing this.
However I cant see any in video links or Annotations in the video. Its hard to go to the links you are talking about. Like for reliablilty pillars.
Nice! Thanks for checking out the video!
Yeah, the original course hosting platform I used enabled these interactive pop-up links. Transferring the video lessons into UA-cam doesn't provide that same functionality.
If you enrol in the course here, I'll have the links for the reference docs and some other stuff added in the next day or two so it's easier to follow along - cloudvikings.io/courses/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-clf-c01/
