It uses a story telling approach to point out challenges with IT systems hosted on-premise and explains how cloud computing helps top overcome these. This webinar includes a presentation and live demos.

• Identifying core categories of AWS services (compute like EC2/Lambda, storage like S3, databases like RDS/DynamoDB, networking like VPC/CloudFront) and their everyday analogies.
• Articulating basic cloud benefits and use cases (e.g., startups scaling quickly, enterprises modernizing legacy systems, remote work enablement) relevant to various roles.
• Recognizing foundational security, compliance, and cost management principles on AWS (e.g., shared responsibility, IAM basics, Cost Explorer) to inform better conversations or decisions.

• Gain a clear, non-technical understanding of cloud computing fundamentals and how AWS powers modern digital transformation across industries.
• Recognize the strategic and practical advantages of moving to the cloud (e.g., faster innovation, global reach, pay-as-you-go economics) and dispel common misconceptions.
• Feel motivated and equipped to discuss cloud topics at a high level, explore free AWS resources (e.g., AWS Free Tier), or pursue further learning (e.g., AWS Cloud Practitioner certification path).

• 60-minute recorded webinar content featuring engaging narration, visuals, real-world stories, simple diagrams, and Q&A-style segments (pre-recorded for on-demand viewing; non-technical, story-driven format).
