Why Learning AWS Can Open Doors to Tech Careers

If you’ve been thinking about breaking into tech, one of the fastest-growing paths is cloud computing, and at the center of it all is Amazon Web Services (AWS).

What Is AWS?

AWS is Amazon’s cloud platform. Instead of companies buying big servers, they rent power, storage, and tools from AWS. Today, over 80% of Fortune 500 companies rely on AWS for their websites, apps, and data.

Why you Should Care

• High Demand: Cloud skills are some of the most requested in job postings.

• No Degree Required: Employers focus on AWS certifications and hands-on ability.

• Great Pay: Entry-level cloud jobs can start above $70,000/year in the U.S.

• Global Reach: AWS is used everywhere so your skills are portable.

Where AWS Can Take You

• Cloud Support Associate – helping companies use AWS day-to-day.

• Solutions Architect – designing systems for businesses.

• Data Engineer – building and managing data pipelines on the cloud.

• DevOps Engineer – automating deployments and infrastructure.
