About the Workshop:
This introductory technical workshop is designed to provide hands-on training for Core AWS services including Identity and Access Management (IAM), Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and Simple Storage Service (S3). Through a mix of presentations and hands-on labs, AWS Solutions Architects will lead you through the basics of AWS.

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that helps you securely control access to AWS resources. You use IAM to control who is authenticated (signed in) and authorized (has permissions) to use resources. Amazon Virtual Private Cloud(Amazon VPC) enables you to launch AWS resources into a virtual network that you’ve defined. This virtual network closely resembles a traditional network that you’d operate in your own data center, with the benefits of using the scalable infrastructure of AWS. Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service that offers industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance. It can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web.

There will be temporary AWS accounts provided for the hands on labs. The purpose of these temporary accounts is to ensure that all resources and permissions are set up correctly and to avoid any charges in your personal or business accounts. If you join late or are not active when the accounts are released, we will not be able to provide the temporary account.

You must be registered to be issued a temporary AWS Account. Do not join the event with someone else’s registration link.

About the Workshop:
This advanced workshop focuses on extending AWS Control Tower's native capabilities through customization. You'll learn how to implement custom controls, automate resource deployment, and maintain governance at scale using the Customizations for Control Tower (CfCT) solution. Through hands-on labs, you'll master techniques for deploying custom templates, implementing service control policies, and managing lifecycle events.

AWS Control Tower offers a simple and efficient way to set up and govern a secure, multi-account AWS environment. It establishes a landing zone that is based on best-practices blueprints, and it enables governance using controls you can choose from a prepackaged list. The landing zone is a well-architected, multi-account baseline that follows AWS best practices. By the end of this workshop, you'll have the skills needed to implement and manage custom controls, automate resource deployment, and maintain governance at scale, extending the capabilities of your AWS Control Tower implementation.

This event does require your own AWS account, and AWS Control Tower landing zone, and we require customers to conduct these Workshop Prerequisites prior to the event. Also, all of the work conducted alongside our instructors should be done in a test (sandbox) environment. We do not recommend handling any production workloads during this workshop.
