What’s Happening at the AWS Loft

In October there will be an abundance of sessions, events, and coding activities focused on game and mobile app development. In addition, below is an overview of the activities taking place at the AWS Loft each week:

Ask an Architect: You can schedule a 1:1, 60 minute session with a member of the AWS technical team. Be sure to bring your questions about AWS architecture, cost optimization, services and features, and anything else AWS-related. And don’t be shy — walk-ins are welcome too.

Technical Presentations: AWS Solution Architects, Product Managers, and Evangelists will deliver technical presentations covering some of the highest-rated and best-attended sessions from recent AWS events. Topics include Introduction to AWS, Big Data, Compute & Networking, Architecture, Mobile & Gaming, Databases, Operations, Security, and more.

AWS Technical Bootcamps: Limited to twenty participants, these full-day bootcamps include hands-on lab exercises using a live environment with the AWS console. Usually these cost $600, but at the AWS Loft we are offering them for free. Bootcamps you can register for include: “Getting Started with AWS,” “AWS Essentials,” “Highly Available Apps,” and “Taking AWS Operations to the Next Level.”

Self-paced, Hands-on Labs: These online technical labs are ready and waiting for walk-ins throughout the day. We’ll offer labs for beginners through advanced users on topics that range from creating Amazon EC2 instances to launching and managing a web application with CloudFormation. Usually $30 each, we are offering these labs for free in the AWS Loft.

Customer Speaking Events and Evening Happy Hours: Innovative Bay Area startups share the technical and business journeys they undertook as their ideas came to life. CircleCI, NPM, Lyft, Librato, Cotap, Runscope and others will be featured speakers during our evening happy hours.
