NEW!! AWS / Research IT Office Hours

Note: No Office Hours in November due to conflict with our Veterans Day holiday.

AWS now offers monthly office hours via Zoom for UCSD researchers. The sessions occur every second Tuesday from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM. During these sessions, an AWS Solutions Architect is available to answer any questions about AWS services, both technical and business-oriented.

These are casual, drop-in sessions where researchers can freely join without prior reservation to get their questions answered.

During these sessions, you'll be able to:

Receive expert guidance on your current or planned AWS implementations
Get detailed clarification on AWS services, features, and best practices
Share any challenges you're experiencing and receive targeted recommendations

We look forward to connecting with you and to helping you with your AWS needs.
