AWS DevOps CLI Operations Baseline - Platform Engineering Hands-On Lab Icon

Lab Overview

This lab is the foundation every other DOP-C02 lab depends on. You'll work directly with the AWS CLI in a TeKanAid-provisioned AWS lab account to verify your operational baseline.

You will:

  • Verify your AWS identity, account, and region with STS and the CLI
  • Inspect Service Quotas for EC2 and S3
  • Create a tagged S3 bucket using TeKanAid lab conventions
  • Query CloudWatch metrics for the AWS namespace
  • Clean up the resources you created

This lab uses only confirmed-tier services (S3, CloudWatch, EC2 read-only, STS, Service Quotas) so it runs reliably under the default TeKanAid AWS lab IAM policy.

What You'll Learn

Configure AWS CLI default region and profile resolution order

Inspect Service Quotas for EC2 and S3 in your region

Create and tag an S3 bucket following TeKanAid lab conventions
