PSA If you're running AWS, I highly recommend for all developers and sysadmin to attend AWS free training[0][1]. While you're at it might as well get yourself certified[2]. You might have senior expertise with system operation and application deployment but sometimes, AWS approach things differently. The essence of the training is to always implement best practices, not just solving problem. Also use the opportunity of AWS event to network with their Solution Architect. Trust me on this one. This worth more than AWS Enterprise Support. [0] http://aws.amazon.com/training/course-descriptions/architect/ http://aws.amazon.com/training/course-descriptions/architect...

Erm, is it really free? I just followed your link, which lead me to https://www.aws.training/home?courseid=3&language=en-us&source=web_en_course-descriptions_architect https://www.aws.training/home?courseid=3&language=en-us&sour... ... which lead me to http://www.globalknowledge.com/training/course.asp?pageid=9&courseid=24526&country=United+States http://www.globalknowledge.com/training/course.asp?pageid=9&... ... and there I find out it's $2095 USD. Hopefully I'm mistaken... because I'd love to take it if it's free!

  I just noticed that free training session seems to be limited to certain location sold by "Amazon Web Services". For example Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok are free, but other location have varying fees. I attended 2 free session in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore back in June. I always assume its free for all. Sorry

    Huh, a round trip to Kuala Lumpur is less than the course in the States.[1] Best excuse for an overseas flight I've seen lately. https://www.hipmunk.com/flights/WAS-to-KUL#!dates=Jan12,Jan14&pax=1 https://www.hipmunk.com/flights/WAS-to-KUL#!dates=Jan12,Jan1...
