Earlier this week at the AWS re:Invent conference, I was able to sit alongside another PowerShell enthusiast in a workshop-based PowerShell session. That’s a laptop-open-work-through-a-scenario-with-your-table type of session. Today’s a little different.

Because of a session, I took yesterday (on Lambda and Step Functions), I know a little about today’s format. If all goes well for me getting in there, the session I’ll sit through in the next hour is called, “AWS Tools for PowerShell.”

In this event, a small group of maybe five or six people will each sit with an instructor and work through an example on whatever topic that table covers. While yesterday I was looking for a lecture (after another hands-on event), I simply didn’t get that. I choose incorrectly and did the whole small table hands-on thing. There was no traditional lecture.

Wish me luck, as again there’s no guarantee I’m getting into this session. That’s really starting to potentially come clear for me… ugh. I did pass the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate exam, so at least I’ve got that, I suppose.

Update: Well, I got a chair at the PowerShell table. We created a VPC, etc., etc. all using the PowerShell Core AWS PowerShell module. It has a rather interesting name and it’s escaping me at the moment. It was a good walk though and it did provide me with something I haven’t actually done in AWS with PowerShell.
