Live training + cloud leads to innovation | #AWSSummit
John Furrier and Jeff Frick, theCUBE co-hosts, interviewed Rochana Golani, Global Head of Training Curriculum and Certification with AWS, at AWS Summit 2014 in San Francisco.
The general impression of this event seems to be that AWS is educating people about wiring things together.
Golani agrees: "This is a very exciting place to be because we are offering things which allow these individuals to get skilled in order to be able to design these cloud based solutions. We are offering everything, from instruction-led training and YouTube videos to things that they would want to do self-paced, til they can validate the skillset that they have."
Regardless of the skills of the students, AWS offers training to help them learn to design, develop and operate secure and efficient applications, available on the AWS cloud.
Furrier inquired next on the lifecycle and details of the certification program.
"The training and certification education part of AWS started last year, when we launched our certification program just after the summit in San Francisco. We've trained tens of thousands of customers and individuals since last year and we're continuing to see a huge uptake in not only learning, but certification," replied Rochana Golani.
"Yesterday we offered five different bootcamps; they were daylong, hands-on labs, in all kinds of topics: from getting started with AWS to how to operationalize your data center on the AWS cloud or looking into Big Data -- how to run your Big Data analytics on AWS. Hundreds of people attended that. Today we also have on-site testing," added Golani.
Jeff Frick, General Manager with theCUBE, asked Golani to elaborate on the "secret sauce" used in the developers' community, pressing to find out how is AWS getting them passionate about spending time developing on Amazon vs other platforms.
"It's giving the developers the flexibility to pick the language that they want or the programming framework that they are interested in and learning around them."
"What is the most innovative thing that you're doing right now?" asked Furrier.
"Being able to train them how to do things on the cloud," said Golani. "Learning itself is not the innovative part; it's the cloud. We do all of that training live on that cloud."
