Cloud Study Songs

I wrote songs about AWS services to study during gym sessions and runs. It didn't replace real studying and hands-on implementation, but it helped me memorise service names, deployment patterns, and exam concepts during time I'd otherwise waste.

How this started

While preparing for the AWS DevOps Professional exam, I felt like my gym time was wasted study time. So I started writing short songs about AWS services — CodeDeploy strategies, ECS task definitions, VPC networking — and listening to them on repeat during workouts. The songs didn't replace reading docs or building projects, but they helped concepts stick. I'm recording more and plan to share them here.

Why songs helped me study

Based on real services

Each song covers a specific AWS service or deployment pattern I was actually studying for the exam

Easy to remember

Melody makes technical details stick — I can still hum the CodeDeploy song months later

Hands-free studying

Good for the gym, running, commuting — any time you can't read a whitepaper

Supplement, not replacement

These helped me review concepts I'd already studied — they don't replace reading docs or building projects

Songs I've recorded so far

  • AWS CodeDeploy — Blue/Green, Canary, and Rolling deployment strategies
  • Amazon ECS — Task definitions, services, and container orchestration basics
  • AWS Lambda & Auto Scaling — Event-driven triggers and scaling policies
  • CloudFormation Stacks — Infrastructure-as-Code concepts and stack lifecycle
  • VPC Networking — Subnets, route tables, and security groups

A note on expectations

These songs are a study supplement, not a course. They helped me review AWS concepts during downtime — gym, commute, cooking — but I still passed the exam by reading documentation, building real infrastructure, and doing practice tests. If you're curious, sign up above and I'll share the tracks as I finish recording them.
