AWS Developer

AWS Developer and DevOps Training & Certification.

Reaping the rewards of continuous modernization isn’t something that happens overnight. To stay modern, equipping teams and individuals with continuous cloud training is critical. Teams empowered with training can advance their cloud skills to enable agility, rapid innovation, and faster response times.

With AWS Training and Certification, employees and teams can move  forward fearlessly on a continuous learning journey—to utilize the cloud efficiently and effectively, to accelerate modernization, and to propel business growth.

The acceleration of modernization.

Whether you are utilizing them to handle changing business needs or to meet large variations in demand, modern applications represent a huge business advantage to organizations. Modern applications can:

• Accelerate speed to market—by speeding up the build and release cycles and offloading operational overhead to AWS.
• Increase innovation—change application components quickly with lower risk to the whole application.
• Improve reliability through monitoring and automated test procedures.
• Improve total cost of ownership (TCO) with a pay-for-value pricing model and lower maintenance costs.
• Build with the right tools based on the needs of the organization
  and each unique workload

The most successful companies recognize that it is their technology that sets them apart from the competition. To keep growing and winning  business, companies need to invent new products rapidly. To promote a culture of innovation that makes this possible, successful companies continually update their methods of designing, building, and administering applications. We call this modern application development.

Modern application development gives companies a competitive edge by enabling them to innovate more rapidly. Companies that embrace innovation can complete more experiments and bring ideas to market more quickly by shifting resources from undifferentiated heavy lifting—such as administering and provisioning infrastructure—to more valuable activities.

Modern application development practices can help companies to realize the speed and agility that go with innovation. Some customers take their on-premises virtual machines (VMs) and move them (also known as lift-and-shift) to host them on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC21). Other customers change the platform of their applications to a container-based model that is more optimized for the cloud. Still other companies refactor their monolithic applications and transition to a microservice-based architecture. Most companies find that when they build more  cloud-native applications, they spend less time on administrative overhead and can focus more on their core business.

Shortage of talent.

To gain competitive advantage and the benefits of the cloud, organizations need to innovate and build modern applications faster. However, most organizations quickly realize a key challenge – shortage of skilled talent. Organizations need developers that understand and can build modern applications, administrators and cloud architects that can design and manage these modern applications, and senior leaders that area ready to put these applications to use to improve the business.

In addition to finding and hiring qualified staff with in-demand skills, businesses also face the challenge of retaining employees who have the advanced cloud skills needed for continuous modernization. Nearly 80 percent of IT decision makers say their teams lack the skills they need to adopt cloud services to accommodate their increased digital capabilities, according to a Global Knowledge survey of 9,500 IT professionals. Recent data shows that 63 percent of US organizations anticipate the IT skills gap will widen, and 59 percent expect this talent shortage to continue in the next two years.

Simply put, yesterday’s cloud training plan no longer serves to meet today’s modernization needs. To ensure the availability of a highly qualified cloud workforce to meet the acceleration of modernization, organizations need to rethink how they hire, train, and retrain their staff. A culture of continuous learning, equips organizations with trained IT talent. Without continuous learning, the skills gap will persist and modernization goals cannot be met.

Modernize with AWS training.

Behind every successful modernization story is a modern, agile team.
Organizations that keep apace with the acceleration of modernization know that the goalposts never stop moving. In order to modernize, evolve, and keep up, organizations must develop a culture of continuous learning.

In fact, successful organizations have at least one thing in common: they invest three times as much in technology education and training for their IT staff compared to organizations that lag behind in digital transformation.
