Start with storage: host a real website from an S3 bucket, then lock it down. Buckets, policies and public access, the way AWS actually evaluates them. Learn more →

KEY IDEA · 1 OF 9
A new bucket is private — even the exact link to a file is refused.
S3 blocks public access by default. You have to switch it off on purpose, twice: on the bucket and in a policy.

Questions, answered
Do I need my own AWS or Azure account?
No. Each session gets a real cloud account we provision for you. Nothing to sign up for with AWS or Azure, no card to enter.
Could I end up with a bill?
No. ShaLabs is free in beta, there’s no card on file, and everything you create is deleted when your session ends.
What happens when the hour is up?
The session ends and the account is wiped and checked empty. Your progress stays on your profile.
What if I break something?
Go for it. Your access is scoped to the lab, and the account is cleaned out after.
How are tasks checked?
When you submit, the checks read your AWS account, read-only, and tell you what isn’t there yet. The few you confirm yourself are marked as self-checks.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The lessons and the AWS console both open in your browser.
