Incremental Progress

Sun, Aug 7, 2022

On Friday I passed my AWS Solution Architect Professional exam. I did spend some time studying but since technology builds upon existing layers, I could build upon my existing knowledge and experience. Foundational layers related to Business Continuity or DNS always pop up, and having been advising customers about Azure, designing and developing solutions upon Azure for the last 6 years helps with a cloud mindset which is not really that different between AWS and Azure. Of course some things are really different but that’s where incremental progress comes in, figure out where the changes are and study those. No need to start from scratch. Of course this is not just limited to technology, we can often build upon existing layers, skills can be transferable, going from running 0 to 1KM is harder than from 5 to 6KM, a foundation helps.
