This course offers experience with Spring Boot and its major features, including auto-configuration, Actuator, Spring Boot testing framework and more. On completion, participants will have a foundation for creating enterprise and cloud-ready applications. Please note that this course is a subset of the material in our 4-day Spring: Core Training course - there is no need to take both courses. This course is recommended if you have a good working knowledge of Spring Basics (see Prerequisites) but are new to Spring Boot.

The exit certified aws course provided a good introduction to the tools available on aws.
Very good training. Remote mode makes it a little bit harder at the beginning. All went well after warm-up
Learnt new things on AWS DEVOPS side from Tutor Ryan. Happy that he was able to assist on our questions.
The course was in depth, plenty of resource were provided and learning practice exams.
Course material was good. Instructor knew his stuff. The only problem I had was with the delivery of the labs. There were occasional times when the vm would take a long time to load, and some of the labs had typing mistakes that cause confusion.
