Hands-on AWS track
Design real AWS architectures.
Work through enterprise scenarios — VPC design, multi-AZ deployments, IAM boundaries, DNS routing, and cost-aware service selection — in an interactive simulator that runs right in your browser.
What you'll practice
Scenario-driven architecture
Pick a scenario, read the constraints, then walk through the architecture diagram live. The simulator preserves AWS's native visual language so diagrams translate directly to real-world design reviews.

AWS Infrastructure Simulator
Click Launch simulator above to go full-screen. If the simulator won't load, your network may be blocking the required runtime — try the new-tab button or a different network.

Loading AWS simulator
This may take a few seconds the first time you open it.
Simulator didn't load
The runtime couldn't initialize — likely a blocked CDN (esm.sh or unpkg). Try the Open in a new tab button for a direct load, or check the browser console for the error.
Track context
How to get the most out of it
1
Read the scenario first
Each scenario opens with constraints and business context. Skim them before clicking through the diagram — the "why" shapes the "how".
2
Follow the traffic
Start from the user or integration edge and trace one request end-to-end. The diagrams animate to highlight what carries each hop.
3
Compare trade-offs
Most scenarios have a sensible default plus one or two alternative paths. Note which one a cost-sensitive vs. resilience-sensitive team would pick.
