Get instant access to a real AWS account pre-provisioned with IAM roles, VPC, and billing guardrails. Build anything — EC2, Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, ECS, and more. Session automatically cleans up after expiry. No surprise charges.

14 AWS Services Included

EC2

Launch virtual servers with full root access. Test instance types, auto-scaling, and load balancers.

Lambda

Deploy serverless functions in Python, Node.js, or any supported runtime. Test event triggers and concurrency.

Create REST and HTTP APIs. Wire up Lambda integrations, custom domains, and usage plans.

ECS

Run Docker containers on Fargate or EC2. Deploy services, task definitions, and load balancers.
