Learning Objectives
AWS Lambda is pivotal for serverless back-end services, and Amazon Inspector enhances its security by identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities in codes and dependencies. Together, they ensure the secure deployment of serverless applications in the cloud, shielding them from potential vulnerabilities and ensuring compliance with good security practices.
In this Cloud Lab, you’ll set up two AWS Lambda functions, associate them with a specific role and security group, and deploy packages and hardcoded keys. After creating the Lambda functions, you’ll enable Amazon Inspector to evaluate the vulnerabilities concerning the installed packages and written codes. Amazon Inspector is expected to identify vulnerabilities and suggest remediations, which include updating the involved packages and removing hardcoded keys from the code. The usefulness of these remediations will be validated by rerunning Amazon Inspector.
After completing this Cloud Lab, you’ll be equipped with practical experience in identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities using Amazon Inspector with AWS Lambda functions. This Cloud Lab will also strengthen your capability to deploy secure applications on AWS and advance your career.

Your method is simple, straight to the point and I can practice with it everywhere, even from my phone, that's something I have never had in other learning platforms.
I highly recommend Educative. The courses are well organized and easy to understand.
I prefer Educative courses because they have a nice mix of text & images. I find that with full video courses, it can often be too easy to go into passive learning mode.
