Amirtha Varshinii - Jun 1 - - Dev Community

Hello! I'm S.Amirthavarshinii, a second-year B.E. Computer Science Engineering student at Anna University Regional Campus in Madurai. Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a cloud practitioner session on the AWS Skill Builder platform, and I must say, it was an experience like no other.

The session was designed in the form of a game, which made the learning process both interactive and engaging. From the moment I started, I was hooked. The tasks were structured in a way that didn’t feel like studying at all. Instead, it was an adventure filled with challenges that I was eager to conquer.

One of the highlights of the session was learning how to create and manage EC2 instances. The hands-on approach allowed me to understand the intricacies of cloud computing practically. I also got to explore S3 buckets and IAM (Identity and Access Management), gaining insights into how cloud storage and security work in real-world scenarios.

The gamified experience was not just about completing tasks; it was about earning rewards for every achievement. This feature was incredibly motivating. Every time I completed a task, I received a reward, which kept me driven and excited to learn more. It was a brilliant way to blend education with entertainment, making complex concepts easy to grasp and remember.

I am thrilled to share that I earned a badge for completing 12 tasks during the session. This accomplishment not only boosted my confidence but also served as a tangible recognition of the skills I had acquired. The badge is a testament to the hard work and enthusiasm I put into the session, and it’s something I am incredibly proud of.

The AWS Skill Builder platform has truly transformed the way I perceive learning. It was not just an academic session; it was a fun-filled journey that provided me with valuable skills and knowledge about cloud computing. The interactive and thoughtful design of the session made it an unforgettable experience.

In conclusion, my experience with the AWS cloud practitioner session was profoundly positive. It was a perfect blend of fun and learning, which kept me engaged and motivated throughout. I learned a lot about cloud computing without even realizing that I was studying, thanks to the innovative and rewarding structure of the session. Earning a badge for completing 12 tasks was the icing on the cake, and I am excited to continue my journey with AWS and look forward to more such enriching experiences.
