In this collaborative workshop facilitated by the AWS Solutions Builder team, you share your solutions-related knowledge and visions in areas such as networking, security, migration, big data, mobile. As each team works through the exercise, you discuss ideas, give advice, and share challenges when building on AWS. You also identify the supporting resources and collateral you used or would like to see available. Each team has the opportunity to summarize and present their experience to the group. This is a great opportunity to collaborate with existing and prospective AWS users to validate your thinking and direction with AWS peers, review existing AWS solution offerings, discuss the resources that aid AWS solution design, and give direct feedback on your experience building solutions on AWS. Come prepared to share specific business problems that you have solved or would like to solve, questions or advice for building solutions, or any pain points you encountered during the process.
