Every department and every job has its own language. When people from different areas meet, communication is often difficult because important terms are not familiar to the other side.
Take the example of IT and finance. The topics of these two areas are far apart.
But as we have already learned, it is important to establish communication between these areas and this is exactly what we want to help you with in this lesson.
We will introduce you to the most important terms from AWS but also from software development and finance.
AWS has hundreds of different services and you can probably fill a whole dictionary with terms. Here we would like to explain the most important terms that are also important for the Cloud Financial Management area.
