Learning Objectives
Parameter Store is a hierarchical storage to manage your credentials, configurations, and sensitive information. It allows you to create parameters to manage your passwords, configurations, database information, and AMI values. These parameters can be used in applications.
In this Cloud Lab, you’ll first provision an EC2 instance using the CloudFormation (CFN) template, then create parameters in the Parameter Store and use them in the CFN template. You’ll also use the public parameters given by the AWS services in the CFN template. You’ll add parameter policies, create an SNS topic and subscription, create an Amazon EventBridge rule, and trigger the events.
After completing this Cloud Lab, you’ll be able to use the Parameter Store to save configuration variables, custom settings, IDs, keys, and more.

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.
