  2. Security group
  3. Launch the web server
  4. Page not loading?question
  5. Stop it to save money
  6. Stop or terminatequestion

How it works

The lab opens in your browser: a real cloud console or terminal, nothing to install. Work through the tasks, press Check after each one and the portal verifies your work. Stuck? Ask for a hint. Finish every task and you get a certificate page with its own verification link for LinkedIn or your CV.
