The tagging dictionary exercise mirrored how our FinOps review actually runs. I reused the sheet on Monday.
Beginner
AWS Account Foundations for Builders
You start from an empty AWS account and leave with a documented baseline: tagging policy, budget alarms, CloudTrail layout, and a decision log for shared services. The week blends short instructor briefs with pair exercises so you can explain trade-offs to stakeholders without hand-waving.
From ¥12,000 JPY
Included focus areas
- Hands-on organization units with SCP sketches you can reuse
- Budgets and anomaly alerts wired to realistic JPY thresholds
- CloudTrail + S3 retention pattern with lifecycle notes
- Tagging dictionary workshop aligned to FinOps reviews
- IAM permission boundary lab with rollback checkpoints
- Decision template pack for cross-team approvals
- Light introduction to Tokyo region latency assumptions
Artifacts you should exit with
- Produce a one-page landing zone brief your manager can sign
- List three guardrails you will not skip on new accounts
- Demonstrate budget alarm testing without muting alerts

Participant questions
Yes, you should arrive with an account where you can create IAM users or use a provided sandbox for the first two sessions.
It covers foundational controls only. Production rollouts still require network, data, and application reviews from your own risk team.
We do not provision accounts on your behalf, provide legal review, or stay on-call after the course ends.
Experience notes
Clear pacing, though night three felt dense. Still worth it for the SCP sketches alone.
