Lab description

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a ubiquitous way to run applications in the AWS cloud. Due to their popularity, they can be the target of attacks by malicious actors.

Knowing what to do in the event of a suspected compromisation of an Amazon EC2 instance will help you to securely manage AWS cloud resources in the future.

In this lab challenge, you will be tested on your practical ability to solve problems in a production-like AWS environment. You are presented with a task and a set of requirements that you must fulfill to pass the challenge.

This is a real environment, which means you can prove your knowledge in an applied situation, leaving behind multiple choice questions for a dynamic performance-based exam situation.
