CLOUD

AWS Home Lab Projects for Beginners

Build cloud experience through small, documented projects instead of only completing video courses.

Practical focus: use this guide as a learning framework. Verify changing details such as salaries, prices, certification requirements, product specifications, and job-market conditions against current authoritative sources.

Project 1: static site

Host a simple static site using appropriate cloud storage/web delivery services and document permissions and deployment.

Project 2: virtual network

Create a virtual network with public/private segmentation, routes, and controlled access. Diagram the traffic path.

Project 3: monitored compute

Launch compute, apply least-privilege access, collect logs/metrics, create an alert, then safely tear resources down.

Project 4: infrastructure as code

Recreate a small environment with Terraform or a provider-native template and store configuration in version control.

Control cost

Use free-tier/low-cost resources where appropriate, configure budgets/alerts, and delete resources when labs are complete.
