Increasing Cloud Skills

At re:Invent, AWS unveiled Industry Quest: Financial Services. It’s a first-person video game aimed at teaching cloud skills relevant to banking and financing.

This follows AWS launching Cloud Quest, an interactive role-playing game, Skill Builder and Skill Builder Subscription.

“Industry Question: Financial Services is for someone that is within that industry to have experience building solutions that are very relevant and common within that industry,” said AWS’ Jenni Troutman. “The person goes in and they actually are building out and growing their financial service business by creating these solutions, and they improve by improving key performance indicators (KPIs) for the business. So we’re really excited now to make that broadly available as part of our Skill Builder offering.”

AWS partners can leverage the cloud skills training to provide better solutions and better outcomes for their customers, she said.
