Pablo Calvo Completes AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification

There's always lots of good stuff happening at Hoodoo Digital.  We are pleased to announce that Pablo Calvo 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.

• 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 Pablo why he wanted to pass this certification and his response was: “I had been using Amazon Web Service intermittently for quite a while, but there were a lot of gaps in my understanding of what could be done with it. I used the certification process to learn about all the capabilities of AWS and understand its different types of services. AWS is an important tool for us to help support our customers.”

Pablo is a Test Automation Developer and has been with Hoodoo Digital since October of 2019.  He has years of experience in developing QA automation frameworks as well as teaching and guiding others in quality best practices. His passion for software testing and varied experience in automation, DevOps, and software development has been a huge contributor to our team. We are very proud of his hard work in completing the certification and are so glad to have him part of the Hoodoo team.
