LAB ID: automate-workflows-with-amazon-eventbridge-rules-and-scheduling
A career as a software developer, cloud architect, or DevOps engineering should not be complicated. Our Eventbridge Rules Labs makes sure of that. EventBridge Rules Labs takes users right into the world of Amazon EventBridge. The lab includes learnings to build event-driven and scheduled automated workflows in AWS. With projects developed in EventBridge Rules Labs, users can learn to route events between different services of AWS, or Amazon Web Services. Additional elements include routing between custom applications and third-party SaaS providers. All this without having to manage the intricacies of the vast infrastructure. The practical exposure with Amazon EventBridge Rules covers creating something that is responsive, easy to configure, and in line with the workflow trigger management. Some of the trigger downstream services are AWS Lambda and Amazon SNS. The end result translates into enabling automated operations, serverless scheduling, notifications, and cross-service integrations. For learners, the end also translates into an industry-friendly certificate. Learning Outcomes: By the end of this lab, learners will: • Create an Amazon EventBridge scheduled rule • Configure a cron or rate expression • Trigger an AWS Lambda function using EventBridge • Create an EventBridge rule for AWS events • Send notifications to an Amazon SNS topic • Verify EventBridge rule execution • Monitor EventBridge, Lambda, and SNS using CloudWatch Logs Scenario: You are a cloud engineer at a training company. The Operations Team wants automated tasks to run on a schedule without managing servers. Your project is to: 1. Create a scheduled EventBridge rule that triggers a Lambda function every few minutes. 2. Create an EventBridge rule that sends notifications to an SNS topic. 3. Verify that EventBridge successfully triggers downstream services.
