# netherlands
AWS training in Netherlands
The Netherlands is an unusual AWS market because so much of the region's traffic physically passes through it. AMS-IX and the Amsterdam data-centre cluster mean Dutch teams think about egress, peering and cross-region replication earlier than teams elsewhere in Europe, and the eu-west-1 versus eu-central-1 decision is a live architectural argument rather than a default. That shows up in the cohorts: questions about Direct Connect, Transit Gateway and inter-region cost arrive in week two rather than week six.
The second factor is regulatory. Dutch financial services, health and public sector organisations are working to a stricter reading of data residency than most, and DORA has sharpened it further for anyone in scope. Engineers here need to evidence where data physically sits, who can reach it, and what the audit trail looks like — so encryption, key custody, private connectivity and CloudTrail retention get materially more attention in a Netherlands batch than they would in one run for a product team elsewhere.
Scheduling is the practical constraint. Our instructors teach from IST, which is four and a half hours ahead of CET in winter and three and a half in summer. The weekday cohort lands at 15:30 CET — inside a Dutch working afternoon, which most teams prefer — while the weekend cohort starts at 05:30 CET and is genuinely early. Most Netherlands learners take the weekday one, and corporate cohorts are usually scheduled entirely within CET business hours by arrangement.

# the subject
What is AWS?
AWS is Amazon's cloud platform: a few hundred services layered over regions and availability zones, of which a working engineer touches perhaps twenty. The ones that matter are the primitives everything else is built on — IAM for identity and permission boundaries, VPC for network isolation and routing, EC2 and EBS for compute and block storage, S3 for object storage and lifecycle, RDS and DynamoDB for managed data, CloudWatch and CloudTrail for telemetry and audit, and CloudFormation or Terraform to declare all of it as code. Around those sit the delivery services — ECS and EKS for containers, Lambda for event-driven compute, CodePipeline for CI/CD. The difficulty in AWS is rarely a single service. It is knowing which of four services solves your problem, what it costs at scale, and how to keep an account estate secure and auditable once more than one team is deploying into it.
Why it's in demand now
Cloud spend has moved from growth budgets to scrutinised budgets, and that has changed what employers ask for. The demand is no longer for people who can launch resources but for people who can size them, tag them, put guardrails around them and explain the bill. At the same time, regulated industries that spent years on private cloud are now migrating, which puts a premium on engineers who can evidence encryption, least privilege and audit trails rather than just describe them.
# outcomes
What you'll be able to do
Design a multi-account AWS estate with an account structure, SCPs and centralised logging
Write least-privilege IAM policies and explain why a permission boundary differs from a role
Build a VPC with public, private and isolated subnets, and route traffic without opening it to the internet
Deploy a containerised workload to ECS or EKS from a pipeline, not from a laptop
Instrument a workload so an incident can be diagnosed from CloudWatch and CloudTrail alone
Read an AWS bill, attribute it to teams, and cut it without breaking anything
# curriculum
6 modules. Live demos in a real lab, not slides.
Every module follows the same shape: 5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone.
01AWS account foundations, IAM and the shared responsibility modelLive & Interactive
Where AWS's responsibility ends and yours begins, and how to structure accounts before anything else is built.
Regions, availability zones and edge locations, Organizations, Control Tower and account structure, IAM users, roles, policies and permission boundaries, Identity federation and SSO, Billing, budgets and cost allocation tags
- Assignments: (1) Build a two-account organisation with an SCP that denies a region; (2) Write a least-privilege policy for a deployment role and prove it fails closed
- Capstone: A documented account structure for a fictional company, with guardrails and a cost-allocation tagging standard.
02Networking — VPC, routing and private connectivityLive & Interactive
The part of AWS that most often goes wrong in production, and the hardest to change later.
VPC, subnets, route tables and gateways, Security groups vs network ACLs, NAT, VPC endpoints and private service access, Transit Gateway and VPC peering, Route 53 and DNS resolution inside a VPC
- Assignments: (1) Build a three-tier VPC with no public subnet for the data tier; (2) Reach S3 from a private subnet without a NAT gateway
- Capstone: A VPC built entirely from code, with a diagram and a routing table walkthrough.
03Compute and storage — EC2, EBS, S3 and lifecycleLive & Interactive
Instance families, sizing and purchase options, EBS volume types, snapshots and encryption, S3 storage classes, versioning and lifecycle rules, Auto Scaling groups and launch templates, Elastic Load Balancing
- Assignments: (1) Move a workload from a fixed instance to an Auto Scaling group; (2) Cut a bucket's storage cost with lifecycle rules and measure the result
- Capstone: A self-healing web tier that survives an instance termination without manual intervention.
04Containers and serverless — ECS, EKS and LambdaLive & Interactive
ECS task definitions, services and Fargate, EKS cluster architecture, node groups and IRSA, Lambda execution model, cold starts and limits, Event-driven patterns with EventBridge and SQS, Choosing between them, and what each actually costs
- Assignments: (1) Deploy the same service to ECS and to Lambda, and compare cost and latency; (2) Give a pod scoped AWS permissions with IRSA rather than node credentials
- Capstone: A containerised service deployed from a pipeline, with rollback.
05Infrastructure as code — CloudFormation and TerraformLive & Interactive
Declarative state, drift and reconciliation, CloudFormation stacks, change sets and nested stacks, Terraform providers, state, workspaces and modules, Secrets handling in IaC, Reviewing an infrastructure change like a code change
- Assignments: (1) Import an existing hand-built resource into Terraform state; (2) Write a reusable module and consume it from two environments
- Capstone: The whole estate from module 2 rebuilt from code, with a plan-and-review workflow.
06Observability, security and costLive & Interactive
CloudWatch metrics, logs, alarms and dashboards, CloudTrail, Config and audit evidence, KMS, Secrets Manager and encryption in transit and at rest, GuardDuty and Security Hub, Cost Explorer, rightsizing and Savings Plans
- Assignments: (1) Diagnose a seeded incident using only CloudWatch and CloudTrail; (2) Produce a cost-reduction plan for a running estate and quantify the saving

Kill the instance, keep the service
Terminate a running instance under load and watch the Auto Scaling group replace it without a request being dropped.
LAB · CONTAINERS
Scoped pod permissions with IRSA
Give one pod access to one bucket, and demonstrate that a neighbouring pod cannot reach it.
LAB · IAC
Adopt an orphan
Import a resource someone built by hand into Terraform state without recreating it or causing downtime.
LAB · COST
Find the money
Take a running estate, attribute the spend to teams, and produce a rightsizing plan with a defensible number attached.

# questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you have a training centre in the Netherlands?
No. Our two classrooms are in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Netherlands cohorts run live online, or onsite at your office by arrangement for corporate batches — we will quote travel separately in that case.
What time do the sessions actually run in CET?
The weekday cohort runs 15:30–17:30 CET on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, which sits inside a normal Dutch working afternoon and is what most Netherlands learners choose. The weekend cohort starts at 05:30 CET, which is early. Both are recorded, and the clock shift between CET and IST changes twice a year — we confirm the local times before each cohort.
Do you provide an AWS account for the labs?
No, and that is deliberate. You build the labs on your own free-tier AWS account, and we walk through the setup and the billing guardrails in week one. A sandbox that expires when the course ends teaches you nothing you keep; your own account does.
What if I miss a session?
Every session is recorded and available in the LMS the same day, and you keep access for a year. You can also sit the missed session again with the next cohort at no extra cost.
Is there a certificate, and is it worth anything?
You get an industry-recognised DevOpsSchool certificate after the three-hour open-book exam. It is not an AWS certification — it evidences that you built and defended the capstones. Most people use the capstone repositories in interviews more than the certificate itself.
Can you run a private batch inside CET business hours?
Yes, and for corporate cohorts that is the norm. We schedule private batches entirely within your working day rather than around ours. We invoice in EUR against a PO, and we can sign an NDA before the discovery call if your procurement needs it.
How are we invoiced, and what about VAT?
Prices are set in INR and shown converted to EUR for reference; the charge is made in INR. An 18% tax/VAT charge applies in addition to the listed price. For corporate batches we invoice against a PO and can supply the documentation your finance team needs.
Do you offer instalments or EMI?
No. The fee is charged once at enrolment. Where we show a monthly figure it is arithmetic to help you size the cost, not a payment plan.
