This course introduces technical roles in the AWS Cloud and explains why the Public Cloud Computing model is the new normal. The instructors teach some of the terminologies that are needed to start a Cloud learning journey, covering topics such as the difference between IaaS, PaaS and SaaS, Cloud Computing models (Public, Private and Hybrid Cloud), what are APIs (and why they are important), elasticity, horizontal and vertical scaling. Then, we define the difference between relationship, availability, and milestone-oriented roles, and interview Amazon employees who provide their point of view of how is the day in a life of a Solutions Architect, Data Scientist, Software Developer Engineer, Systems Administrator, Security Engineer, and Customer Support Engineer.

Very helpful to look AWS through the lens of the different roles. Mostly, it is assumed that you know this.

I like the interview video but I wish that you would talk more in details about how each role spending their time daily and what pathway brought them to the role or what skill/certifications they needed to get the role so that I could get the overview of how to make my own pathway.

While this a good introduction to AWS and what a job using AWS might look like, it's tough go.
Not from the material you're given, but rather a series of interview videos with people working in AWS. The videos are awkward and not fun to sit through. If you can get by without watching the videos, I'd recommend it.
