What you will build

10 labs. A production portfolio, not just notes.

This is a practice-first program. Every lab is built live during a session, so you finish with 10 production-style deliverables and an end-to-end capstone you can showcase.

Hands-on labs

Everything you build

1. Python IAM Security Audit Tool

Build a Python (boto3) tool that audits IAM users, roles and policies and flags least-privilege violations.

2. VPC Security Assessment Tool

Build a Python tool that inspects VPC configuration and reports security-group and NACL exposure across the network.

3. Deploy Highly Available Infrastructure

Stand up a self-healing, auto-scaling, load-balanced compute tier that survives instance failure automatically.

4. Automated Resource Compliance Scanner

Build an event-driven Lambda that scans resources for compliance violations and notifies the team automatically.

5. Provision AWS Infrastructure using Terraform

Codify the environment as Terraform modules with remote state, then detect and reconcile drift.

6. AI-Based Log Analysis and Incident Summary

Use Amazon Bedrock to analyse CloudWatch logs and generate a plain-language incident summary with likely root cause.

7. Automated Threat Response

Wire GuardDuty findings to an automated response workflow that contains and reports threats without human delay.

8. Automated Recovery Workflow

Build a workflow that detects failure and automatically executes a recovery and failover sequence.

9. Intelligent Cost Optimization Dashboard

Build a dashboard that surfaces spend, rightsizing opportunities and AI-flagged cost anomalies in one view.

10. End-to-End Enterprise AIOps Pipeline

Assemble events, queues, workflows and AI into a single pipeline that detects issues and drives automated remediation.

Capstone

Enterprise Intelligent Cloud Operations Platform

Bring the full ten days together into one complete Enterprise Intelligent Cloud Operations Platform: architected, coded, secured, monitored and operated with AI.

  • Enterprise network architecture and Terraform infrastructure
  • Auto scaling with high availability and automated recovery
  • AI log analysis and event-driven automation
  • Automated security response and threat containment
  • Cost optimisation and infrastructure drift detection
  • A unified cloud operations dashboard

You walk away with a demonstrable, end-to-end AIOps platform that mirrors real enterprise cloud operations, the kind of project that anchors interviews and portfolios.
