Learn how to install, configure, automate, monitor, secure, maintain and troubleshoot the services networks and systems on Amazon Web Services (AWS) necessary to support your business applications. Explore and practice with specific AWS features, tools, and best practices related to these functions.
Join the AWS Jam, a gamified event, with teams competing to score points by completing a series of challenges according to established best practices based on concepts covered in the programme. You get to experience a wide range of AWS services in a series of real-world scenarios that represent common operational and troubleshooting tasks. The result is developing, enhancing, and validating your skillsets in the AWS Cloud through real-world problem-solving, exploring new services, and features, and understanding how they interoperate.
This programme includes instructor presentations, hands-on labs, demonstrations, group knowledge checks, and team-based gamified challenges.
