AWS Account Access

In this step you will access your pre-provisioned AWS account through Workshop Studio using a join code provided by your facilitator.

Join Workshop Studio

1. Open your browser and navigate to Workshop Studio
2. Click Join event in the top-right corner
3. Enter the join code provided by your facilitator and click Accept terms & join
4. You will be assigned a dedicated AWS account for the duration of this workshop

Info

Your join code is a unique alphanumeric string distributed at the start of the event. If you do not have one, ask your facilitator.

Log in to the AWS Console

1. From the Workshop Studio dashboard, click Open AWS Console on the left sidebar
2. The console will open in a new tab with temporary credentials already applied
3. You are now logged in as the workshop participant role — no additional login is needed

Warning

Do not use your personal or corporate AWS account for this workshop. Always use the account provisioned by Workshop Studio.

Verify Region

The workshop infrastructure is pre-deployed in us-east-1 (N. Virginia). All exercises must be completed in this region.

1. In the AWS Console, check the region selector in the top-right navigation bar
2. If it does not show US East (N. Virginia), click the dropdown and select US East (N. Virginia)
3. Confirm the region shows us-east-1

Warning

Using a different region will result in missing resources and failing exercises. Always ensure you are in us-east-1.

Get Your Participant ID

Your participant ID is used to namespace workshop resources. You will need it for validation steps later.

1. In the Workshop Studio dashboard, locate your Participant ID shown on the event page
2. Note it down — it appears in resource names like agent-toolkit-workshop-{ParticipantId}

Next Step

Once you have verified your region is us-east-1, proceed to Agent Setup to install and configure your AI coding agent.
