Course Overview

Accelerate your cloud adoption journey. Your team will gain practical knowledge and skills that they can take back and implement into your organizations cloud initiatives. With real-world challenges, your team will be equipped to handle real-world scenarios. AWS Jam is a scenario-based, team-centered 1 day event where participants gain practical experience with a wide range of AWS services. AWS Jam scenarios relate to use cases, domains, and services covered in the classroom training course. The event is gamified with teams competing against each other by scoring points for completing specific challenges. Challenges have varying degrees of difficulty and are therefore worth differing amounts of points. A live leaderboard provides updates on scores and progress throughout the event. Clues and guidance can be provided to help teams move through challenges, but cost points. To play, AWS provides participants and teams with access to pre-created infrastructure.

Course Objectives

Immersive engagements encourage you to up-level your skills on AWS

Course Content

– Hands-on format, putting learners in the driver’s seat to make decisions and solve problems in an active AWS Cloud environment to amplify understanding

– Challenges based on real-world scenarios so your team can build practical skills

– Develop your team’s skillsets in the AWS Cloud to advance your cloud adoption journey

– Facilitated by an expert AWS instructor who can answer questions and give real time feedback

– Validate learning through reports on teams including benchmarks, completion times, and which challenges were the most difficult

– Reinforce your team’s learning while it’s still fresh in your team’s heads – AWS Jam can be added after the final day of classroom training class

Course Overview

AWS Jam is a gamified event with teams competing to win by completing a series of hands-on challenges on the AWS platform over the course of a day. Participants develop, enhance, and validate team skillsets in the AWS Cloud through real-world problem solving. Each AWS Jam takes place in a pre-created AWS infrastructure that is based on common use cases that participants use to determine what happened, how to best respond, and how to deploy appropriate solutions. While each challenge has a set of goals, the path to the solution is open-ended, allowing teams the freedom to play and learn by exploring different approaches and combinations of AWS services. Participants will experience a wide range of AWS services in a series of real-world scenarios that represent common operational and troubleshooting tasks. A live leaderboard provides updates on team stats and progress. Teams earn the most points by solving challenges before the other teams. If they get stuck, they can use clues, but each clue will reduce their
score.
