The AWS Hand On Tutorial page it’s a great resource to learn AWS It provide step by step on how to perform or deploy certain workloads, application or utilize a vast of their Services. And the best part, it is free.

Navigating the Site is very straightforward, with a filter column to where you can specify the category or categories you are mainly looking to focus on:

Now, if you are very new to AWS or have very basic knowledge, the Get Started Center is a way to get your feet wet but for now, I will be focusing with the Hands On Tutorial.

I few college asked me if it a great resource to studying for any AWS exam, it depend! Yes you can use this as a way to validate knowledge, perhaps build knowledge around scenario based as you will be deploying workloads with certain services. Some other tutorials will help you understand more about certain consoles or services such as User Management, IAM, etc.

Once you find and select a Hand-on lab, the layout, content and font is very easy to follow and read. It does provide quite a lot of images which are great reference in case you get a bit lost or behind. I do also find very beneficial all the URL across the entire lab guide. They will take you straight to service specific public page or to specific section within the AWS Documentation Guide.

I strongly suggest to get this a try, get some Hand-on labs done and provide feedback as AWS may find them very useful to continue developing more and maintain them relevant as technology evolve. Cheers!
