Continuous Integration with CodePipeline and CodeBuild: Tests and Reports

Questions about this lab
Do I need my own AWS account?
No. When you start the lab, Cloud Arena gives you a real, temporary AWS account with its own login, locked to one region. You work in the real AWS Management Console, not a simulator.
Will AWS charge me anything?
No. Cloud Arena pays for the AWS resources, and everything you create is deleted automatically when you stop the lab or the session ends. Nothing is billed to you by AWS.
How long does the Continuous Integration with CodePipeline and CodeBuild: Tests and Reports lab take?
Plan for about 55 minutes. The session timer is shown on screen, and every task is checked against your live AWS account when you click Verify.
How do I get access to this lab?
It is included in the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional plan: a one-time payment for every lab in the path, 2 attempts per lab and a 7-day money-back guarantee. You can also start with the 5 free labs.
Does this lab help with the DevOps Engineer – Professional (DOP-C02) exam?
