Free AWS Foundational Certification Giveaway
EDIT (July 6th, 6h20PM GMT): With the tremendous interest this garnered in the first day, we are almost running out of the planned 50 free vouchers. Thanks to everyone who submitted it so far.
There are still several vouchers to give away, but I will go back to the team and see what we can do to give back to everyone else who shows interest in this campaign but misses out on the guaranteed 50 vouchers. Nothing confirmed for now, but some ideas in a comment I made. By all means keep going through the process if this interests you.
Thank you all!

Hi everyone, and happy Monday.
I work for OutSystems, and AWS and OutSystems have announced a joint collaboration to deliver a powerful suite of AI capabilities to developers and companies (see link here: https://www.outsystems.com/news/outsystems-aws-agentic-ai-capabilities , and Dr. Charlie Sanderson, Director for AWS Partnerships EMEA on stage to talk about the partnership itself at 1:34:10: https://www.outsystems.com/one26-on-demand?wchannelid=ofyhhjuvul&wmediaid=ucdlaoibjr ).
As part of that collaboration, we are running a limited campaign to offer a free AWS Foundational Certification and a free OutSystems Foundational Certification (independently - meaning you can get the AWS one and not pursue anything further) to new developers who sign up for OutSystems' free edition and build an agent with it (using a trial AWS AI model, for instance). We have ~50 free AWS certifications to give out, and depending on the traction we might get more. The offer is valid while supplies last, first come first serve.
Absolutely no purchase, or commercial strings attached - zero subscriptions, credit cards, nothing. The free version is 100% free to sign up for and use.
If you'd like to take part in it, go to https://go.outsystems.com/free-aws-exam and follow the process.
We already announced this to our own developer community via our direct channels, but since this might be of interest to the AWS Community at large, I thought I'd reach out here.
The Fine Print, since you might be wondering as we want to get as many cloud professionals certified as possible, but also keep things fair and secure:
- Voucher Limits & Promotion Period: Voucher quantities are limited and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. OutSystems reserves the right to extend, modify, pause, or end this promotion at any time. Only verified challenge submissions completed before July 31st, 2026, at 11:59 PM GMT, or prior to the voucher pool being exhausted (whichever comes first), will be eligible for a voucher.
- New Environments Only: This offer is strictly valid for new OutSystems accounts and Personal Edition (PE) environments registered after July 6th, 2026. There is a strict limit of one (1) exam voucher per individual and unique OutSystems account.
- Verification & Fair Play: Vouchers are only released upon verification of a successfully built and executed agent in your new, eligible Personal Edition. Fraudulent, duplicate, or automated submissions (including the use of temporary/disposable email domains, recycling Personal Edition environments, or submitting an agent from a Personal Edition that is not your own) will be discarded.
Happy to answer any questions! Unsure if the flair is correct, but this has been run by the mods so a thank you for their time and availability as well in making this happen.
