Hands-On Cloud Workshop hosted by AWS and sponsored by Sumo Logic

We have an exciting Meetup planned for this month. Northwestern Mutual will continue to host the event but at their new office building downtown. You can use the same entrance and parking options to walk through the new grand atrium.

If this news isn’t exciting enough we have our local AWS team lead by Brian Lewis and Mike Post to provide access for our members to AWS QuikLabs for a half-day hands-on workshop. AWS will assist us in proctoring the labs through free tokens they will provide to attendees.

Please see the information below on the recommended labs that will be available. These labs come at various skill levels so even those new to AWS will have a great experience.

Sumo Logic will be sponsoring the event and provide drinks and pizza for those who attend.
