Workshops
Core Transfer Family MFT
Basic principles for securing access using AWS Transfer Family (100 level)
This workshop will teach you how to host your SFTP endpoint inside a virtual private cloud (VPC) so you can control your network settings, including how to use an allow list to control who can access your Transfer Family server. Additionally, you will learn how to create and administer service-managed users and map these users to user-friendly virtual directory structures that they will navigate when they connect to your Amazon S3 buckets.
SFTP workshop (200 level)
This workshop will teach you how to set up a SFTP server using AWS Transfer Family and configure your SFTP server with a custom Identity Provider. You will learn how to store entitlements in DynamoDB and use Transfer Family features to provide customized access. You will learn how to create managed workflows to automatically perform PGP decryption for uploaded files. Finally, you will learn how to set up SFTP connectors and copy files between remote SFTP servers and Amazon S3.
Event Driven MFT Workshop Phase 1 (300 level)
This workshop will teach you how to use event-driven architectures to build automated workflows for exchanging files with remote partners, and executing pre or post transfer actions to prepare files for integration with your applications downstream. You will use AWS Transfer Family to set up file transfer servers and connectors and Amazon EventBridge to listen and respond to transfer events. You will also use AWS Step Functions to define automated workflow and AWS Lambda to execute file processing.
Additional Workshops
Applicability Statement 2 (AS2) workshop (300 level)
This workshop will teach you how to configure a Transfer Family endpoint with AS2 enabled, and a Transfer Family AS2 connector so you can exchange files with a partner who has a configured AS2-enabled server. Finally, you will test the event driven architecture end-to-end transferring a file from the Transfer Family AS2 server to a trading partner to enable the file for ingestion into downstream applications.
