Hi Kevin!
Glad it help you.. and good luck!
This AWS GameDay sounds like an exciting way to gain hands-on experience while solving real-world challenges! Competing in teams and earning points through problem-solving must make it even more engaging. Speaking of immersive experiences, if you're into sandbox-style gameplay with creative freedom, you might enjoy exploring Download HornyCraft, a game that blends open-world building with unique interactions. Have you participated in previous GameDays, or is this your first time?
