Phil takes us though what's planned for the day

...

We’ve been working on a new approach to Blue Green style deployments of EC2 instances which provision on boot. We have taken the approach to be as DRY as possible and are using Terraform to generate Terraform in lieu of count/for_each being available for modules. We plan to use an ALB traffic switch

AWS re/Start is a full-time, classroom-based skills development and training program that prepares individuals for careers in the cloud and connects them to potential employers. A technology background is not required to apply and the program is focused on unemployed or underemployed individuals, including military veterans and their families, and young people.

In this session, we’ll learn about building a fast and robust Serverless CI/CD pipeline used for delivering a Serverless product.
Get prepared to learn about the

• Tech stack

• Development process

• Staged release using a step function

• Parallel testing

AWS Mastermind is back... this time it's you guys in the chair!

Serverless is a revolutionary way to build web applications but is it any good? What are the gotchas and issues? This talk is based on real world development using Serverless technologies

Phil has a quick chat with Bryron from Spot.io

Grab a sarny and get ready for the afternoon sessions.

The Cloud helps us move fast, reduces time to develop & ship, and eventually saves us time and money. But we often forget about how the cloud helps us build reliable apps. In this talk, I take a closer look at an important part of Cloud’s reliability promise: Global Infrastructure.

Serverless environments are not so ephemeral as the marketing would have you believe. I’ll tell you how you can write nodejs that makes use of their surprising statefulness to increase inefficiency and save money, and cover some of the pitfalls to avoid

Serverless is inherently a stateless paradigm but many applications still have state, so where does the state go? There are several strategies to handle state when writing business logic in serverless applications. This session will explore the relative merits and limitations of each, with real world examples from some of our most successful serverless customers.

AWS DeepComposer is a machine learning enabled keyboard that allows you to explore the complexities of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) in a fun, interactive, and hands-on way. In this session, you'll develop machine learning skills (and maybe score your first recording contract) by using Generative AI and AWS DeepComposer to compose a totally unique music track. You'll learn about music composition and the power of machine learning to create something new. By the end of the session, you'll be a machine learning rock star!

Thanks and Comp winners.
