Yesterday I delivered a tutorial as part of the Open Network Users Group (ONUG) Academy:

To go through the tutorial yourself you’ll need an AWS account and an SSH client (and the Internet access and browser you’re using to read this).

To complement the slides there’s a wiki on GitHub with all of the relevant command line snippets and explanations of what’s going on. The materials are Creative Commons license 4.0 Attribution Sharealike licensed, so please feel free to make derivatives, just please give me some attribution for creating this (it took a lot of work).

If you like this then you might also want to take a look at the Cloud Networking Workshop I did for the Open Data Center Alliance (ODCA) Forecast event last year.
