Our developers attended an amazing one-day free training to get into the step by step introduction to core AWS services such as computing, storage, database, and networking. With more and more companies showing interest in managing their data on the cloud, AWS team has taken the initiative to explain Amazon Web Services in details, with a walk through technical demos, best practices, and use case to step into the world of Cloud with ease and finesse.

We had our IT manager and system engineers on the team who were eager to learn new facets of cloud computing.
