A reformatted email from an AWS trainer after a Cloud Practitioner Bootcamp. Lots of useful links to the slides and further reading and resources - all links working when published on 17th June 2020. Some links may need you to have a partner logon.
Thank you for attending the AWS Cloud Practitioner Bootcamp course - slides PDF. And congratulations for making it through. It was a lot of information at once. If you want to see some repetition about what I said just watch the AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials Second Edition digital version. Additionally, under the AWS Technical Professional Learning Path page, you can see links to AWS Business/Technical Professional and Cloud Economics digital content, which are all recommended for consumption. Finally, check the AWS Cloud Practitioner Exam Guide PDF and the sample questions PDF if you are looking to sit the Cloud Practitioner Certification Exam.
