About me:
I have spent my career focused on all forms of data. I have focused on developing algorithms to detect fraud, reduce patient readmission and redesign insurance provider policy to help reduce the overall cost of healthcare. I have also helped develop analytics for marketing and IT operations in order to optimize limited resources such as employees and budget. I privately consult on data science and engineering problems both solo as well as with a company called Acheron Analytics. I have experience both working hands-on with technical problems as well as helping leadership teams develop strategies to maximize their data.

Lol'd at "the answer is... Yes". I agree w/ you though, they are all close enough. Once you get your bearings on one you can figure out another. Great topic & video!

It’s just like saying “your camera takes a great picture”😂. If you are a good DE, you will find a work with any of these cloud providers. They are just the tools but fundamentals remains the same

For jobs, it is better to learn AWS or Azure. In the real world, many enterprises deploy a lot of other cloud solutions like ServiceNow, Appian etc. Many large companies are even abandoning the big three cloud providers. There is even a rising trend of using on premise resources for AI and machine learning.

but azure seems to have really well defined courses and certification. Would it be better to pick azure from a beginner's pov?

Anyone know which one is used most frequently in the medical field? Or research laboratories?

Hello,
I am a data analyst who uses SQL and power bi. I want to be a data engineer. Do I start with learning one of these cloud platforms or is there a step before this?

I love how needlessly esoteric most of the names for these products on AWS are. That's just the industry I guess.

But like ... Cloud Services vs. Elastic Beanstalk. Which one makes more intuitive sense from a business perspective? Haha.

Making up weird terms for everything is just part of the business (especially in consulting 🙃)

Hi Ben, I was looking for the Live Interviews you've had with guests but I can't find it in the channel, any way to watch them?

[erniehsieh]

Quick question seems that you suggest AWS and azure over GCP, but why do you always put GCP link in your description. Is it because GCP is better for a specific path ?

please create tutorial for hostgator hosting

[JimRohn-uc]

I’m going from Azure to AWS hope it’s not too difficult 😭
