AWS GameDay is an interactive team-based exercise designed for participants to use and expand their AWS skills in a realistic, gamified, risk-free environment. Participants are given an AWS account to share with a starting architecture that they will evolve in response to realistic business and technical requirements designed to challenge them. GameDay events delivered at public events and privately for customers provide awareness, enablement, and reinforcement of AWS services, best practices, and architecture patterns through open-ended experimentation. Our main goal is for customers to use GameDay as a learning mechanism which will ultimately help them operate their businesses smarter on AWS. We host GameDay events publicly at conferences such as re:Invent, and privately for customers ranging from startups to large enterprises.
