Pay what you want for lifetime access to AWS e-books and possibly win a prize
TL;DR: As of August 12, you can get the Amazon Web Services e-book Bundle when you pay what you want (see below for details) instead of its retail value of $35.99.
Have you ever wanted to get a handle on Amazon Web Services but held back because of the hassle of instructional texts? AWS provides a suite of useful services for a variety of tech careers and industries, but the learning curve is steep if you have to piece together your education from YouTube videos and outdated guides. However, there may be a new option on the table.
The Complete Amazon Web Services e-book Bundle is a pack of six AWS instructional texts, and for a limited time, it’s on sale for however much you want to pay. Pay what you want, and get some or all of these books for life (more details below).
Start learning AWS in six books
If you’re new to Amazon Web Services, they’re a suite of IT and technical management tools that have over one million active users. This set of instruction books comes with guides for software development and operations (DevOps), AWS Security, Administration, Lamda, Networking, and more.
If you have a business or are just managing a lot of remote software or machines, AWS could be integral to streamlining that process. Whether it’s updating software remotely, managing the security of your devices without actually logging onto those devices, or just keeping your company files safe on cloud storage, mastering Amazon Web Services could be a significant boon to your organization.
Once purchased, each of these e-books is available to you for life to study at a pace that works for you. Considering they represent well over 1,000 pages of instruction and information and should be supplemented with the tools they’re informing upon, these could pose a productive and significant time investment.
Master AWS and conduct IT services remotely
