Build a strong cloud environment with AWS

Global Knowledge has recently added Amazon Web Services (AWS) courses to its GK Polaris offering. In this article, Business Development Manager Dick Goettsch tells you what the benefits of AWS are, and which AWS training courses have been added to the Polaris Discovery plan.

According to Amazon, AWS has more than a million active users. Thanks to its ease of use, many organizations are opting for AWS. However, many of them are starting to use the AWS building blocks without first training their employees...

Over time, these untrained employees realize that they would have set up their AWS environment differently if they had prior knowledge. Training before they started would have been a better idea. Don't fall into the same trap! First acquire knowledge of AWS and avoid building air castles in the cloud.
