I've been a keen follower of Tech Field Day for many years. While scheduling some time for Cloud Field Day 4 live sessions, I forced myself past the procrastination and filled the delegate form. I thought it was too late for Cloud Field Day 4 but I might get a chance for future gatherings. As I [...]
A couple of weeks back, I finally decided to put my hat in the ring to become a Tech Field Day delegate.

After all, while the cloud environment can just be another platform to host IaaS machines, you wouldn't like to keep building machines manually. Plus, we all want to follow NIST's definition of cloud computing and it's not [...]
A couple of weeks back, I sat and cleared the AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional exam. Thought it would be good to share how I prepared for the exam so here it is. I was originally planning to take the exam a lot earlier than how it turned out it in the end. Various [...]
