Hands-on cloud labs built by BeCloudReady for corporate training, partner enablement, and sales engineering. Each lab is a self-contained student environment — scoped IAM permissions, step-by-step console walkthroughs, and sample data included.
| Lab | What you build | Stack |
|---|---|---|
labs/aws-data-lake/ |
End-to-end data lake — raw ingestion → ETL → governance → CDC → analytics | S3, Glue, Athena, Lake Formation, Redshift, DMS, OpenSearch |
labs/aws-iam-policy-lab/ |
Read, predict, and write IAM policies using a real sandbox policy as the textbook | IAM, CloudShell |
labs/fullstack-aws/ |
Full-stack app sandbox with GitHub Copilot seats and namespace-scoped AWS access | EC2, Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, CloudFront, API Gateway |
labs/databricks-db-agent-lakebase/ |
Text-to-SQL agent backed by Lakebase (Postgres), Databricks Unity Catalog, and a self-hosted vLLM endpoint | Databricks, Delta Lake, vLLM |
Labs 1–3 build on each other. Labs 4–6 are standalone.
| Lab | Topic |
|---|---|
| Lab 1 | S3 · Glue Crawler · Glue ETL (PySpark) · Athena |
| Lab 2 | Event-driven ingestion — S3 → SQS → Lambda |
| Lab 3 | Data governance — Lake Formation row/column/tag-based access control |
| Lab 4 | Redshift Serverless · federated query from Aurora RDS |
| Lab 5 | Change Data Capture — Postgres → DMS → S3 or Postgres target |
| Lab 6 | OpenSearch — ingestion, search, and dashboards |
BeCloudReady is a Databricks Registered Partner specializing in custom cloud lab environments across three lanes:
| Lane | What it solves |
|---|---|
| Cloud Training Labs | Per-student AWS / Azure / GCP / Databricks sandboxes — region-locked, namespace-scoped, teardown-clean |
| AI & GPU Labs | H100 / A100 cohorts on neo-cloud (Lambda Labs, Shadeform, RunPod) — 30–70% cheaper than hyperscaler equivalents |
| Sales Demo Environments | Reproducible demo stacks for SE teams and partner programs |
