Mike Morris Completes AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification

There's always lots of good stuff happening at Hoodoo Digital.  We are pleased to announce that Mike Morris has completed the Amazon Web Service (AWS) exam for the Cloud Practitioner certification. This exam demonstrates an overall understanding of the AWS Cloud, independent of specific technical roles addressed by other AWS Certifications. AWS provides exam guides that outline the things that a Practitioner should be proficient with in order to pass the exam. 

Abilities Validated by the Certification

• Define what the AWS Cloud is and the basic global infrastructure
• Describe basic AWS Cloud architectural principles
• Describe the AWS Cloud value proposition
• Describe key services on the AWS platform and their common use cases (for example, compute and analytics)
• Describe basic security and compliance aspects of the AWS platform and the shared security model
• Define the billing, account management, and pricing models
• Identify sources of documentation or technical assistance (for example, whitepapers or support tickets)
• Describe basic/core characteristics of deploying and operating in the AWS Cloud

Recommended Knowledge and Experience

• We recommend candidates have at least six months of experience with the AWS Cloud in any role, including technical, managerial, sales, purchasing, or financial
• Candidates should have a basic understanding of IT services and their uses in the AWS Cloud platform

We asked Mike why he wanted to pass this certification and his response was: “I have been working with AWS for a while now, so getting this certification wasn't a difficult task for me. But anything I can do to help signal to our customers that I understand the services and offerings that AWS provides is a priority for me.”

Mike is a DevOps Engineer and has been with Hoodoo Digital since January of 2021.  He has worked on both the client and the services side of the tech industry at many different levels, and relishes the opportunity to learn new tools and frameworks. His broad range of experience allows him to both empathize with customers and cut through the fog of problems to see and deliver clear, customer-focused solutions. We are very proud of his hard work in completing the certification and are so glad to have him part of the Hoodoo team.
