Programs

Four tracks designed to take you from “What is S3?” to deploying and defending production-grade infrastructure.

Cloud Foundations

Start with static hosting: buckets, objects, content types and caching. Then put a CDN in front and learn why edge delivery matters.

  • Amazon S3 storage & Block Public Access
  • CloudFront distributions & cache policies
  • Custom error pages

Security & TLS Track

Understand certificates, DNS validation and HTTPS enforcement. Prove your bucket is private by testing it, not assuming it.

  • AWS Certificate Manager
  • Origin Access Control (SigV4)
  • HTTP → HTTPS redirects

AI Agent Ops Lab

Build specialized LLM agents — planner, builder, deployer, verifier — that coordinate programmatically and ask for human approval before risky changes.

  • Task decomposition
  • Tool calling with allowlists
  • Failure diagnosis & recovery

Project Teams

Join a team of Aggies building real sites for student orgs around campus, with code review and reproducible deployment scripts.

  • GitHub workflows
  • Infrastructure scripts
  • Demo days each semester
