AWS Project Vault

A written AWS project workspace for building, testing and explaining your own cloud systems, from small starter exercises to a portfolio capstone.

Learn and build

• Starter exercises: S3 hosting, EC2 SSH, a Lambda hello function, SNS alerts and an S3–Lambda–SNS workflow.
• Serverless apps: a URL shortener, authenticated notes app and HTTPS resume website.
• Data and operations: backups, log monitoring, an IoT data pipeline, image processing and a read-only cost brief.
• Resilience: multi-Region static delivery and a disaster-recovery simulation.
• Bonus builds: security baseline and threat detection, plus real-time WebSocket chat.
• Portfolio capstone: bring your builds together with diagrams, READMEs, verification evidence and a monitoring dashboard.

Included with the resource

• Project library: 10 core projects, five starter exercises, two bonus builds and one portfolio capstone.
• Build guidance: architecture, implementation steps, acceptance checklists, failure-case testing and teardown instructions.
• Supporting files: downloadable example handlers, placeholder configuration, deployment and cleanup instructions, with optional templates.
• Presentation tools: 13 notebook diagrams, portfolio files and a Notion progress tracker.

Access and requirements

• Format: written Notion project workspace with supporting source files; Gumroad provides the link after purchase.
• Access: lifetime access is stated on the product listing.
• Requirements: a Notion account, an AWS account and a computer; terminal, Git and Python basics help.
• AWS costs: usage is separate. Free Tier or credits depend on eligibility; some builds, especially Aurora recovery, can incur charges.
• Time: core build estimates are roughly 2–4 hours; allow extra time for setup, debugging, documentation and extensions.
• Verification: the listing says the current source revision has offline review evidence, with AWS execution pending. Verify your own deployment; some optional infrastructure templates are partial.

• Beginners who want a structured starting point; begin with the kickstart exercises.
• AWS learners building practical portfolio evidence rather than just reading service descriptions.
• More experienced learners exploring resilience and security; basic terminal, Git and Python skills help.

• Test expected behavior and failure cases with the acceptance checklists.
• Capture diagrams, screenshots and results, write your README, then clean up deployed resources.
