The Cloud Resume Challenge — AWS
- The Cloud Resume Challenge is a project designed to help people gain hands-on experience with cloud technologies, primarily AWS.
- The challenge involves building a resume website while gaining real-world cloud engineering skills like front-end development, creating a serverless backend, managing infrastructure with code, and automating deployments.
- The first phase of the project required building a static website with HTML and CSS that was hosted on Amazon S3, followed by configuring a custom domain, DNS, and HTTPS using AWS CloudFront and Route 53.
- The next phase was building a backend API that supports a visitor counter on the resume site, requiring setting up an Amazon DynamoDB table to store the visitor count, creating an API endpoint using API Gateway, and connecting everything with AWS Lambda using Python.
- The most rewarding part of the challenge was solving problems on their own, which helped them discover what they enjoyed most about cloud development, like automating deployments and working with Infrastructure as Code.
- CRC taught about the hands-on experience with AWS technologies like Terraform, AWS CLI, and CI/CD Pipelines.
- The Cloud Resume Challenge creator, Forrest Brazeal, made an efficient guidebook to help people understand each challenge.
- After completing the Cloud Resume Challenge, the author pursued the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CCP) certification that helped them have a well-rounded understanding of cloud fundamentals.
- Andrew Brown’s CCP course on freecodecamp and using practice sets like AWSboy led the author to a successful CCP exam.
- The CRC is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to learn cloud technologies, gain valuable skills, and work with AWS.
