Building in the Cloud — with a premium touch
I’m Aluwani Mahuluhulu, 3 weeks into AWS re/Start and documenting hands-on progress toward Cloud Practitioner and beyond.
About
I’m focused on strong fundamentals: identity & access (IAM), resilient compute (EC2), secure storage (S3), and observability (CloudWatch). I prefer clean architectures, minimal attack surface, and cost-smart designs.
This site is hosted on Amazon S3 static website and will evolve as I add more projects.
Skills (growing weekly)
Users, groups, policies, least-privilege, MFA, access keys hygiene.
Launch t2.micro, connect via SSH, security groups, updates, basic hardening.
S3 buckets, static hosting, policies, versioning, lifecycle (intro).
CloudWatch metrics/logs, budgets alerts, pricing calculator awareness.
Projects
This site — zero servers, S3 website hosting, bucket policy for public read. Clean, fast, cost-near-zero.
t2.micro instance, SSH access, security groups, and user-data script to deploy a simple webpage.
Hands-on quests completed; documenting services and lessons learned each week.
Certificates & Badges
Cloud fundamentals, Linux, networking, scripting, and practical labs.
Role-based gamified labs completed — foundations for real deployments.
