• Do you train non-experts to do analyses on high performance computing? 
• Would you like to learn how to efficiently manage fully configured Amazon Web Services (AWS) instances (Linux virtual machines) to deliver workshops to diverse participants?  
• Would you like to learn how to configure and manage your own Amazon Machine Image (AMI) templates (from which instances are created) with specific data and software analysis tools? 

Cloud-SPAN instructors are available to deliver this 3 hour training session at your institution at no cost to you. They can teach you and your team the method they have used for over 2 years to efficiently manage AWS instances and AMIs for many workshops. For the training session, participants only need the Terminal/Shell and ssh programs on their laptops. 

The workshop assumes no prior experience with the AWS concepts and tools covered but you will need experience of the Linux Terminal (Shell/Command Line Interface).
