LocalStack has launched the LocalStack for Students plan in partnership with GitHub Education's Student Developer Pack, providing students with free access to an extensive range of AWS emulation services, equivalent to the Ultimate plan. This initiative allows students to explore over 30 core and advanced serverless services, such as Elastic Container Service and Elastic Kubernetes Service, without the associated costs and risks of experimenting with real AWS services. By eliminating financial barriers and providing tools like CI integration and IAM policy streams, LocalStack aims to enhance students' learning potential, offering a practical, risk-free environment to build valuable AWS skills from their laptops. Access to the plan requires students to be verified learners through GitHub Education, ensuring they are actively enrolled in an educational program.
