Are you and your team ready to level up your AWS skills? Then join our gamified, challenge-based AWS GameDay “GiddyUp Graviton” on November 25th, 2024 from 10:00AM - 12:30PM CET.

What is an AWS GameDay?

AWS GameDay is an interactive team-based learning exercise that tests your skills in implementing AWS solutions to solve real-world problems in a gamified, risk-free environment. Most importantly, it is an extremely fun way to learn more about the potential of AWS without the step-by-step instructions provided in workshops or classroom-style sessions. If you are seeking an open-ended, and at times ambiguous, style of training then GameDay is the perfect challenge for you.

What is the upcoming AWS GameDay “GiddyUp Graviton” about?

Unicorn.Rentals is calling for the best engineering talent to help them migrate their workload to Graviton and reduce their IT infrastructure cost as soon as possible.
