This post addresses eight common misconceptions about cloud computing held by Canadian public sector organizations. It covers cloud security, cost savings, value beyond expenses, and cloud providers’ investments in Canada. The insights shared will equip public sector leaders to make informed decisions and leverage cloud computing’s potential.

The Hour of Code is coming! HAQM Future Engineer, HAQM Web Services, and AWS Educate are supporting HAQMians across the globe as they inspire kids to try computer science through Code.org’s Hour of Code – both powered by AWS. The Hour of Code takes place during Computer Science Education Week, December 9 to 15.

During the first week of December, students all around the world will learn computer science during the annual Hour of Code event led by Code.org. It’s an important effort, aimed at helping kids from all backgrounds learn to code and work toward successful careers making use of computer science skills.

As part of HAQM’s $50M commitment to Computer Science (CS) Education, students now have access to Advanced Placement (AP) CS course offerings, scholarships, and early college internships through the HAQM Future Engineer (AFE) Pathway. With cloud computing ranked as the #1 LinkedIn skill for two years in a row and with millions of employment opportunities currently available in the cloud, the AFE Pathway provides students an opportunity to learn in-demand skills at a young age, setting the stage for a future cloud-enabled workforce.

As part of HAQM’s recently announced $10M grant to support Code.org, AWS Educate and HAQM Future Engineers have teamed with CodeCombat to create a new game that embeds HAQM DynamoDB that will be offered for free this year on Code.org during the Hour of Code – Game Development with DynamoDB. In this game, HAQM DynamoDB allows students to build code that records and displays their game scores.
