AWS certifications are some of the most popular IT qualifications on the planet, and not without good reason. The average salary of an AWS-certified professional is $129,868, which is a figure that leaves the earning potential of many other similar roles behind. But what if you’re new to the world of AWS? How can you get started on your journey to becoming certified?
With the IaaS Academy AWS Technical Essentials foundation course, you can do precisely that. The best part? This training is 100% free, forever!
