AWS User Group Kuopio

This time, we are having a gamified learning experience where we are competing with other ~50 AWS User Groups in Europe in an AWS Community GameDay - Builder's Trial. The skill level needed is from the basics to the advanced level (100-300). Get hands-on with AI, security, event-driven architectures, and Kubernetes — no slides, no tutorials. A common scoreboard with global prices.

Please bring your laptop and come with a friend, a team, or solo - we'll form teams of 2 to 4 people on site.

What is an AWS GameDay?
An AWS GameDay is a team-based, competitive learning experience that transforms cloud training into an immersive, high-energy event. Unlike traditional workshops, where participants follow step-by-step instructions, GameDay drops teams into a live AWS environment with real infrastructure—often broken, misconfigured, or under attack—and challenges them to find solutions on their own.

Game duration: Around 2 hours of competition between local and international teams.

Sponsorship: We’re thrilled to be hosted this time at Siili Solutions' office, with drinks and snacks kindly provided.

The meetup takes place at the Siili Solutions office in Kuopio city center:
