 🎯 5 Advanced AWS Cloud Projects To Get You Hired

If you're looking to develop your cloud computing skills and impress potential employers, hands-on projects are a must.

Here are 5 advanced projects designed to help you demonstrate real-world applications of AWS technologies:

#1 CI/CD Pipeline for 2048 Game

This project uses Amazon CodePipeline, Amazon ECS and Amazon ECR to build a CI/CD Pipeline for 2048 game.

In this project you’ll take a containerized version of the game and set up a pipeline that builds, tests, and deploys the application automatically, everytime you update the code.

If you’re aiming to become a DevOps Engineer, Cloud Engineer, or a Solutions Architect, this is the perfect project.

🕒 Est time: 2-3 hours

💰 Est cost: $1

#2 Stock Market Real-Time Data Analytics Pipeline

In this project, you’ll build pipeline that collects stock market data and then processes and stores it in real-time. You’ll even get alerted when interesting trends are detected.

This project shows you, how to collect data in real-time, process it automatically and send alerts, all using only AWS Serverless services.

🕒 Est time: 2-3 hours

💰 Est cost: $1-$2

#3 Cybersecurity Threat Detection System

In this project, you’ll build a system that detects suspicious network activity in real-time and flag potential security threats.

The system will continuously monitor new data using SageMaker and send alerts, when something looks off such as a DOS attack or a fishing attempt.

🕒 Est time: 2-3 hours

💰 Est cost: $1-$2

#4 Multi-Cloud Weather Tracker with Disaster Recovery

In this project, you’ll build a multi cloud weather tracker application with disaster recovery using Terraform.

Deploy a weather tracker app on both AWS and Azure and set up an automated disaster recovery with DNS failover.

You’ll have a resilient, globally distributed system, that automatically switches over when one region goes down.

🕒 Est time: 2-3 hours

💰 Est cost: $1

#5 Traditional 3-Tier WordPress Deployment on AWS

In this project, you’ll build a traditional three tier WordPress website deployment on AWS.

This is a more advanced take on the classic website deployment, but done the right way with proper networking, security and scalability.

🕒 Est time: 2-3 hours

💰 Est cost: $1-$2
