Some embedded links not working ... and What’s Next after this

A number of the embedded links doesn’t work. Not sure if this is part of a series of “getting started” guides. If that’s the case, would be useful to have “what’s next” section at the end to point readers to the next guide to read and continue the learning.

Was an easy to understand text on what could be a complex topic. The interactive lessons made understanding the material easy to grasp.

Awesome resource

I'm taking the A Cloud Guru course for AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate certification. Listening to lectures, doing the labs, then reading the official documentation from Amazon has been working really well for me.
