This workshop introduces cloud computing, Amazon Web Solutions infrastructure (including AWS Regions and Availability Zones), and the types of workloads that are a good fit for AWS. This session includes a hands-on lab where we will use a Jupyter notebook and AWS APIs to launch a simple web application on AWS. The last 30 minutes of this workshop are reserved for Q&A and continued practice with the platform.

Advanced registration is REQUIRED for this workshop. UC Davis DataLab Affiliates and UC students have priority registration. Register here.

Note that while this workshop is similar in lecture-content to the “Introduction to AWS for Research,” it will not use the AWS GUI and instead prior experience with Python and Jupyter notebooks is necessary for the hands-on lab component.

Prerequisites:

No prior experience with AWS is necessary. This workshop is a stand-alone and does not build on the prior Intro to AWS for Research workshop.
You will need access to a computer with a ssh client (example for Windows and using PuTTY).
Familiarity with running code in a Jupyter Notebooks
Basic Python programming experience

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this workshop, attendees will be able to:

Identify good use cases for research on AWS
Launch a Juypter Notebook on AWS Sagemaker
Use AWS APIs to launch a basic Web Application
