AWS Immersion Day labs

Hands-on workshop labs for Amazon Kinesis and Amazon Redshift, written to be run by people learning the services for the first time.

Two public lab repositories supporting AWS Immersion Day workshops — one for Amazon Kinesis and streaming data, one for Amazon Redshift and warehousing.

These are teaching artifacts rather than products. The work was in sequencing: taking a service with a large surface area and reducing it to a path a room full of people can actually complete, in order, without getting stuck — and without hiding the parts that matter.

Writing labs turns out to be a good test of whether you understand a service. Any step you cannot explain simply is a step you have not understood, and a room of learners finds those gaps immediately.

Both remain public.
