Sessions

OPS-04

Declarative vs programmatic IaC

Room: Yasmin-II | Time: 10:30

What is the difference between declarative and programmatic 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.

Effective cost optimization in the cloud - The right way

Room: Yasmin-II | Time: 11:30

In this session, we’ll demonstrate how to effectively reduce your cloud bill to a fraction of its original size. We will outline our approach to cost optimization as an ongoing process. Additionally, we’ll highlight how we’ve managed to significantly cut costs for many of our customers, for whom we host applications and gaming backends in the cloud using varying approaches and tactics.

You don’t think about your Streamlit app optimization until you deploy it to AWS

Room: Yasmin-II | Time: 13:00

Building Streamlit apps is easy for Data Scientists but when it’s time to deploy them to the cloud, challenges like slow model loading, scalability, and security can become major hurdles. This talk bridges two perspectives: the Data Scientist who builds the app and the MLOps engineer who deploys it. We'll dive into optimizing model loading from Hugging Face Hub, implementing features like autoscaling and authentication, and securing your app against potential threats. By the end of this talk, you’ll be ready to design Streamlit apps that are functional and deployment-ready for the AWS.

OPS-02

Breaking the cloud: Finding and exploiting misconfigurations in AWS

Room: Yasmin-II | Time: 14:00

Misconfigurations are among the most common security gaps in cloud environments, often leading to severe breaches. In this session, we’ll dive into the world of AWS penetration testing, focusing on identifying and exploiting these misconfigurations to understand their impact. We’ll cover: Where to start with AWS pentesting, including key attack surfaces. Tools like CloudFox, Prowler, Pacu and others to discover vulnerabilities and insecure configurations. Real-world privilege escalation examples to demonstrate common attack paths.

Build like the frugal architect: shift cloud optimization left

Room: Yasmin-II | Time: 15:15

In today's cloud-first world, cloud optimization can no longer be an afterthought. The Frugal Architect's principles provide a framework for embedding efficiency and governance into your early cloud adoption decisions. In this session, let’s discover how to implement cost-aware architecture patterns, automate governance controls, and make informed architectural trade-offs that balance technical excellence with business objectives. Learn how combining AWS Well-Architected Framework best practices with The Frugal Architect's laws can help your organization establish strong governance foundations and build more efficient, sustainable cloud solutions from day one. In this session I would like to: emphasize importance of governance alongside efficiency (it's not just about cost, but also making informed decisions about architectural trade-offs) lead with the "shift left" theme connect Well-Architected Framework with the laws of The Frugal Architect Depending on the time (how long the session can be?) I might include a demo.
