AWS Setup & Environment Configuration

Guide for setting up AWS Workshop Studio access, extracting credentials, and launching SageMaker Studio for the Agentic Football World Cup workshop.

Supported Regions

Select the region as directed by your workshop support staff.

Workshop Studio Login Flow

Step 1: Enter Event Access Code

1. Go to Workshop Studio
2. Enter the 12-digit event access code provided by your AWS instructor
3. Click Next

Step 2: Authenticate with OTP

1. Select One Time Password (OTP) (or use Login with Amazon if preferred)
2. Enter a valid email address and select Send passcode
3. Check your email for the one-time passcode:
   • Subject: "Your one-time passcode"
   • Body: A 9-digit number
4. Enter the 9-digit passcode and select Sign in

If you cannot log in, contact your AWS instructor for assistance.

Step 3: Review and Join Event

1. On the Review and join page, review the terms and conditions
2. Accept the terms and select Join Event

Step 4: Access Workshop and AWS Console

1. Click Get started (right side) to access workshop content
2. Click Open AWS console (left menu) to access your AWS account
3. The Outputs section provides details needed throughout the competition
4. You should now be on the AWS Management Console home page

Credential Extraction

To use the AWS CLI or SDK from your local environment, you need to extract credentials from Workshop Studio.

Getting AWS CLI Credentials

1. In the Workshop Studio portal, navigate to AWS Account Access
2. Select Get AWS CLI credentials
3. Copy the provided credentials (Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, Session Token)
4. Configure your terminal using one of these methods:

Option A: Environment Variables

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<your-access-key>"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<your-secret-key>"
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="<your-session-token>"
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="us-east-1"  # or us-west-2

Option B: AWS CLI Configure

aws configure
# Enter Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, and region when prompted
# For session token, set it separately:
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="<your-session-token>"

Verifying Credentials

aws sts get-caller-identity

If successful, this returns your account ID, user ARN, and user ID. If it fails, re-extract credentials from Workshop Studio — session tokens expire periodically.

Note: Workshop Studio credentials are temporary. If you get authentication errors during the workshop, return to the portal and re-extract fresh credentials.

SageMaker Studio Access

For participants using the notebook-based workflow:

Launching SageMaker Studio

1. In the AWS console, search for SageMaker AI in the top search bar
2. Navigate to the Amazon SageMaker AI console
3. In the left sidebar, under Applications and IDEs, select Studio
4. In the Get started box, ensure user-profile-1 is selected
5. Select Open studio — SageMaker Studio opens in a new browser tab
6. Optionally take the quick tour or select Skip Tour for now
7. Accept or decline cookie preferences

Using Notebooks in SageMaker Studio

Once in SageMaker Studio, you can:

• Open and run Jupyter notebooks for building your football agent
• Access pre-configured environments with required dependencies
• Use the integrated terminal for CLI operations

Troubleshooting

Prerequisites

• AWS Workshop Studio access (provided by event staff)
• 12-digit event access code
• Valid email address (for OTP authentication)
• AWS CLI installed locally (for credential-based workflows)
• Python 3.x (for agent development)
