Boost Your 11x Cert Frenzy: Ask Me Anything

At this moment there are 11 official AWS certifications available across the levels: practitioner, associate, professional and specialty. In this meetup, we talk about the value and process of getting AWS certifications, and discuss every certificate one by one. Questions ranging from: “which services are most important for the security specialty?”, to: “can you explain BGP?”. Join us live, and ask your questions using the YouTube/Twitch chat!
