Amazon Web Services is taking over the world! (of IT)

I have recently found my self back in USA jobless.  I loved my time in Thailand, but after being laid off I felt it was best to return to USA.  USA is (was?) the mecca for all things IT after all.  Having been in IT for something like 20 years, I occasionally have to retool my skill set.  I think every long term IT person does this.  Having been stuck in a rut professionally speak, the technology landscape changed without me noticing too much.  Google and AWS datacenters have spread like wild fire.  I decided I needed to get a better look at AWS.  Nothing against google, I just don't know how to break into their training model.  I found a free beginner course for AWS, but then came across a smoking deal thanks to slickdeal.net website.

For $14 and lifetime access, but you only have 18 more hours to buy the course (at 96% off?!).  I don't usually promote such things, but even I had to say "wow".
Here's amazon's website where you can cross reference the courses.

You get a little over 40 hours of training and should be prepared for 2 certifications.  I'll do a follow up post to let you know how I did, but this offer is only good for a little while.. hopefully I didn't waste $14 haha.
