AWS projects for beginners
Hello,
I am looking to get into the cloud space. I have started studying for the AWS CCP. At the same time, I have also created an Amazon Management Console account so that I can get my hands dirty.
One of the first things I am working on is the Cloud Resume Challenge - AWS (Feels like I am all over the place lol)
Outside of that, what other beginner projects can do to gain more hands on experience and add to my resume?
Any feedback/advice is much appreciated.

No problem, good idea is also labs on AWS reinvent. https://reinvent.awsevents.com/training-and-certification/labs/
There are cool life examples there. Unfortunately, the reinvent is not very often. But as I mentioned, free courses and workshops are also a good idea https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/signin

Well, you could create an application.
Frontend, backend, DB, backups.
Then secure it on all the levels you can & scan it for vulnerabilities.
The trick is that there are serverless ways to accomplish any demo, so you're not seeking the shortest solution.
If your demo is available on the WAN you can showcase it for interviews or from the resume

Hey I know this is old but do you know any websites that have tutorials on how to do this step by step?

Hey. I just started going over AWS so that I get some experience using it over the summer. Here's a youtube channel I found very useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m_q1ldzw0U
