Not every driver can handle a truck. Not every doctor can operate on a goldfish.

Every day, I help companies identify weaknesses in their AWS infrastructure. This time, I’m inviting you behind the scenes to see how I work. I’ll walk you through the specific areas I always check, common mistakes I find almost everywhere, and real situations where audits saved my clients thousands of dollars or prevented major incidents. You’ll see why looking at AWS from the perspective of not only an administrator but also a security researcher helps uncover far more.

Choosing the right team can compress years into months. In this sponsored session by tecRacer (Platinum Sponsor), I’ll share the playbook behind my jump from full-stack dev to AWS Hero, Golden Jacket, Champion Instructor—and now Head of tecRacer Portugal. We’ll get practical about mentorship, high-impact projects, certification paths, community impact, and how these compound your value (and yes, career growth) fast. After a quick story, it’s an open AMA—ask anything about careers, hiring, tech stacks, and life at tecRacer.

AWS offers a comprehensive, purpose-built portfolio of managed databases and storage services that together power modern, resilient, and cost‑efficient applications at any scale. Together, AWS databases and storage form a tightly integrated stack—accelerating development, optimizing cost/performance, and simplifying operations across different scenarios so teams can focus on innovation rather than infrastructure. For self-managed databases, the Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP brings enterprise-grade data management to AWS databases, delivering instant, space‑efficient cloning and fast policy‑driven backups using Application Aware-Snapshots, that can reduce your SLAs and accelerate your development cycles!
