Most People Fail at Learning AWS for One Simple Reason

Beginners don't fail because AWS is too hard.
They fail because they don't know where to start, what to learn next, or when they're ready to move forward.

Most people:

Jump between random YouTube videos
Collect certifications without real hands-on experience
Feel stuck after a few months and quit

AOS Note exists to remove confusion and give you one clear path.

Your Complete AWS & DevOps Learning Path — All in One Place

This roadmap is designed to build your skills the same way real Cloud & DevOps engineers do:

1

Understand the concepts

AWS foundations & Linux basics

2

Build real AWS projects

Hands-on deployments

3

Automate everything

DevOps tools & IaC

No shortcuts. No wasted time. Just a proven structure.

Phase 1

AWS & Linux Foundations

Before touching advanced tools, you must understand how AWS actually works. This phase gives you the foundation every cloud engineer needs.

What you'll study:

 AWS core services and architecture
 Networking, compute, storage, and security concepts
 Linux fundamentals used daily by engineers
Outcome
You understand AWS — not just memorize it.
Phase 2

Build Real AWS Projects

This is where theory turns into real experience. Each project builds on the previous one and mirrors real-world deployments.

These projects mirror what cloud engineers are expected to understand on the job.

Projects:

 Host a Static Website on AWS
 Host a Dynamic Website using EC2
 Host a Dynamic Website using Docker & ECS
 Host a Dynamic Website using Docker & EKS
Outcome
You can deploy, troubleshoot, and explain real AWS infrastructure with confidence.
Phase 3

DevOps & Automation

Once you can deploy manually, the next step is automation — the skill that separates beginners from professionals.

This is how modern DevOps teams operate — and what hiring managers look for.

Projects:

 Dynamic Website on AWS with Terraform
 Dynamic Website using Terraform Modules
 CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions
 Static Website deployment using Ansible
 Automate AWS Security Compliance using Lambda
Outcome
You don't just build infrastructure — you automate and manage it professionally.
