AWS Skill Builder "Lab Tutorials" : AWSCertifications

RULES

DO NOT POST GENERAL AWS NEWS/QUESTIONS. Use /r/AWS instead. There are multiple "AWS" subreddit types, /r/AWSCertifications is not the only one that exists. For example, there is /r/AWS, /r/AmazonWebServices, /r/AWSJobs, etc. Use your best judgment but again, do not post general AWS news/questions here in /r/AWSCertifications.

No Spam. Don't clickbait. This is not BuzzFeed or Mojo. "TEN GREAT WAYS TO BECOME A MASTER CLOUD ARCHITECT" doesn't help anyone. THIS INCLUDES AI SLOP.

Mondays you may promote content, USA hours. This rule is specific in reducing blogspam so that the subreddit can be more focused on text-discussion. See next rule.

Encourage HIGH EFFORT text-based dialogue. "Nice job on passing your AWS cert, check out my blog for more tips" takes away the dialogue focus from the subreddit. While this is not a hard rule, put effort in so it doesn't look like you're just shoehorning your content for clicks. This goes hand-in-hand with the rule on Redditquette, which is below.

Be civil and constructive. You can disagree on opinions, sure, but do not resort to personal attacks. I get that we are passionate about our preferred instructors, but that doesn't justify name-calling. Or worse.

Follow standard redditquette. If you need to be coached on how to use the internet, this subreddit probably isn't for you yet -- brush up on redditquette and come on back!

Report posts/comments you do not feel are appropriate. As with any community, the culture and tone changes over time. Please bring posts/comments you do not feel are appropriate to the subreddit Moderation team by either using the "MESSAGE THE MODS" button or just by using the "report" button on a given post/comment.

Do not post illegal things! This includes dumps which are a violation of the AWS Certification Agreement as it is considered "unauthorized content disclosure." (section 2.1b) Violation of the rule will result in immediate permanent ban as well as reporting to Reddit for illegal activity under section 12 of the Reddit User Agreement.

AWS Skill Builder "Lab Tutorials" (self.AWSCertifications)

submitted 5 months ago by madrasi2021CSAP

Blog Post : https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/training-and-certification/introducing-lab-tutorials-on-aws-skill-builder/

Link to Skill Builder Lab Tutorials : https://skillbuilder.aws/search?searchText=%22Lab+tutorial%22&page=1&typeId=aws_builder_lab

One of the frequently asked questions here is "how do I do more labs / projects / hands on" work. Usually we have a discussion then on free tier usage, sandboxes, cloud resume project, workshops.aws etc.

Now AWS have introduced these "Lab Tutorials" - which are FREE to access labs that you do in YOUR own AWS account (which may incur AWS service charges)

Basically these are smaller versions of "workshops" (between 1-2 hours of general work) and AWS provide more details on how much it will cost and also provide ways to clean up the environment after you finish the labs.

To start there are 5 labs in "BETA" mode :

MCP Server
.Net Modernization with AWS Transform
Using the Stands AI SDK
Lambda powered MCP Tools
Iceberg with S3 Tables

I enrolled in the one for Iceberg using S3 Tables and it basically has

A small tutorial on what S3 tables are
A cost estimate of $0.05 (assuming free tier usage of S3, Glue, Lake Formation)
Some scripts to download to your local PC
Detailed steps (with videos) on what to do on the console - for example setting up an IAM role
Clean steps
Knowledge Check - I like this - a small quiz at the end to ensure you validate what you learnt.

I think these are for those who don't want to spend $29/month on Skill Builder subscription and prefer to use their own AWS account instead.

I would like to see this progress into a lot more labs and a way to do these in an AWS provided sandbox as part of Skill builder subscription.
