Setup

AWS Account

In order to complete this workshop, you’ll need an AWS account and access to create AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), Amazon Cognito, Amazon Kinesis, Amazon S3, Amazon Athena, Amazon DynamoDB, and AWS Cloud9 resources within that account.

The code and instructions in this workshop assume only one participant is using a given AWS account at a time. If you attempt sharing an account with another participant, you will encounter naming conflicts for certain resources. You can work around this by either using a suffix in your resource names or using distinct Regions, but the instructions do not provide details on the changes required to make this work.

You can start the workshop by following the below, depending on whether you are… at an AWS event or self paced on your own using your own account

When selecting the region to start resources, use one of the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), EU* (Ireland, London, Frankfurt) regions if using your own AWS account. If using a hosted AWS account please use the region as recommended by your host as this will be pre-determined.

Resources
