Ever had a cloud bill you weren’t expecting? I have - let’s talk about it!

Managing cloud costs effectively isn’t just about cutting expenses; it’s about building smart, adaptable systems that respond to events in real time. In this intermediate session for data professionals, cloud architects and DevOps engineers, we’ll explore how event-based architectures can transform how you monitor, manage and optimise cloud spend, spotlighting AWS services like Step Functions, CloudTrail and EventBridge.

You’ve been hearing a lot about security best practices, but you’re not convinced they can really make a difference? Do you think your resources are safe only because nobody would notice your random IP address? In this presentation, I will share real-life attack scenarios to convince you that misconfigurations can have dire consequences. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of real-world examples, complete with screenshots. I will discuss multiple different attack vectors to demonstrate the diverse range of threats organizations face in today’s digital landscape. As an AWS Ambassador, I will focus on AWS-specific scenarios, but it’s crucial to note that similar risks apply to all major public clouds. Don’t miss this talk on cloud security and how to protect your organization’s valuable assets.

What is the difference between declarative and programmatic approach for developing your Infrastructure as Code? Why it matters and when you should use each?

Best practices for writing good Infrastructure as Code when using AWS CloudFormation, AWS SAM, AWS CDK, Pulumi, Terraform, SST, Serverless Framework, etc.

Quick demo to showcase the power of AWS CDK constructs, and how to deploy cloud infra from a frontend framework (SST + Astro).

Building secure applications, although required, is not a trivial task: understanding different authentication flows, token storage and lifecycle management, designing permissions models (RBAC, ABAC), etc. which is not only complex to design and build but also does not directly add any business value to your applications.

Besides, as systems grow the complexity of managing authentication and authorization across multiple users, services, and devices further increases. Scalability and maintainability become a concern, requiring thoughtful design and implementation.

AI and machine learning are evolving fast—businesses can’t afford to spend months building platforms from scratch while competitors surge ahead. But guess what? Putting together a robust, scalable AI/ML platform is easier than it sounds if you have a clear maturity plan and leverage the right tools. From serverless solutions like SageMaker, and Databricks to custom setups pieced together with a few well-chosen services, there’s a world of possibilities waiting for you.
