The #1 hack I used to learn AWS fast: I stopped sleeping with my phone. Instead of waking up to notifications, I woke up to 1 to 2 golden hours of deep focus. No alerts. No distractions. Just AWS. Change your mornings, change your career!

Why learn AWS? • Netflix → runs on AWS • Airbnb → built on AWS • Twitch → powered by AWS • NASA → processes space data on AWS • Airbnb → built global scale with AWS • LinkedIn → partly on AWS • Epic Games (Fortnite) → hosted on AWS • Government agencies → rely on AWS Still need another reason? ☁️🔥

Small, imperfect actions compound into extraordinary results. Stop optimising for perfection. Start optimising for consistency.
Michael - Art, Life & Enthusiast (@themeek766.bsky.social)
The 1% Rule that changed everything: Progress beats perfection every time. Most people wait for the "perfect moment" to start. Perfect plan. Perfect conditions. Here's what actually works: Show up when you don't feel like it. Stay consistent when nobody's watching.

Wrap-Up You don’t need all 200+ services. Master these core areas → you’ll be ready for 80% of real-world AWS work. Where are you currently on this roadmap?
Michael - Art, Life & Enthusiast (@themeek766.bsky.social) reply parent
Step 6: Serverless & Automation • Lambda → serverless compute • API Gateway → build APIs • CloudFormation / Terraform → Infrastructure as Code Step 7: Monitoring & Security • CloudWatch → metrics & logs • CloudTrail → activity tracking • GuardDuty → threat detection
Michael - Art, Life & Enthusiast (@themeek766.bsky.social) reply parent
Step 4: Databases • RDS → relational DBs • DynamoDB → NoSQL • Learn backup, restore, and scaling basics Step 5: Scaling & Delivery • Load Balancers • Auto Scaling Groups • CloudFront for global content delivery
Michael - Art, Life & Enthusiast (@themeek766.bsky.social) reply parent
Step 2: Compute & Storage • EC2 → run applications • S3 → store & share files • EBS → persistent storage These are the building blocks. Step 3: Networking •VPC → private network •Subnets & Routing → traffic control •Security Groups → firewall rules Without this, nothing connects securely.

Why it matters? Pick the right class = Save 💸 without losing data. 💡 Pro tip: Use Intelligent-Tiering if you’re unsure — AWS optimizes for you. S3 = Store smarter, not just bigger 🚀

•Intelligent-Tiering → Auto-moves data between frequent & infrequent •Standard-IA → Cheaper, for rarely accessed data •Glacier → Archival, super cheap but slow retrieval
