After nearly a decade of being a software engineer at Amazon, this video contains advice on how I would approach learning AWS in 2023. First, we cover some basic pre-requisite knowledge and fundamental concepts / AWS services you need to learn in order to be successful in the cloud. From there, I discuss my framework for accelerating the speed in which you can learn and apply AWS to real life problems. Finally, I wrap things up with some important resources/tips that every aspiring AWS student should know about.

At 8:11 "There are like 250 AWS services and no one knows them all, I don't know them all. I know about 50 or so but they're the important 50" This is absolute gold and is also reassuring as someone who is learning the AWS ecosystem. Cheers and thank you for the great content
-
Cant tell you how much your videos have helped me in understanding AWS better. You have a phenomenal talent in breaking down complex topics and making them understandable to the average joe like me. Thank you! 🙏
-
Amazing roadmap! Super well structured! Thank you! I'm currently working on a computer vision roadmap for my own channel, and I'll be incorporating many things from the way you've structured this roadmap. 🙌
-
Bro The perfect video I was looking for. Just how you've mapped it out for someone who is right at the start has given me a lot of confidence. Smashed it!!
-
I'm just getting started down this road and I truly appreciate your efforts, thanks!
-
You are truly the man when it comes to explaining how to use AWS as a developer. I appreciate your work and love your honesty when discussing parts of an AWS service that you do not understand. You are my go-to source whenever I get stuck.
-
Thank you so much for the content brother !! Categorized everything in such a simple manner and the mindmap was the cherry on top
-
I cannot thank you enough for this video, it is exactly what I needed and ultimately extremely valuable to my journey learning AWS. You're an absolute legend. Thank you!

Thank you. This channel and this particular roadmap I’ll save me so much time. To be able to offer this to others.
-
What a resourceful topic. Great roadmap to learn. This is pure gold ❤
-
Found this to be a great primer of where to start. Only change I would make is to expand Compute section enough to know the difference between EC2, ECS, EKS, and Lambdas. Don't need to go deep, just what is the difference. Basically it hits a lot of the buzzwords that people are asking about, and identifies what the differences are.
-
Enjoyed watching the video. I am looking forward to watching additional videos as well. Just getting started in my AWS journey. We will see where I end up in a couple years.
