One of the easiest ways to learn how you can benefit from the AWS cloud is with hands-on practice. Self-paced labs provide this hands-on training in a live practice environment. AWS subject matter experts have developed more than 60 topics on AWS services, and labs are currently available online through APN Technology Partner Cloud vLAB’s qwikLABS.com platform. To help you navigate through topics and solve common use cases using related AWS services, they also offer several learning paths, or qwikLABS “quests.” Here are some of the paths available.
