Presentations

Featured Presentation: How to use Amazon AWS for 12 Months FREE

Dylan Burris (wwwprola (https://www.drupal.org/u/wwwprola)), Lead Developer, will show you simple yet robust ways to create high traffic, business-grade websites on Amazon Web Services' 12 month free tier (https://aws.amazon.com/free/), further demonstrating the Drupal-based AWS management platform he introduced during his lightning talk at the LA Drupal meetup in August, 2015. We'll show you our point-and-click tools for building infrastructure optimized for popular content management systems, including Drupal, and effective workflows, which are built in a matter of minutes and will sustain your needs for the life of your website.

Amazon Web Services (https://aws.amazon.com/free/) (AWS) offers new customers 12 months of free hosting. We’re going to show you simple ways to take control and build a web hosting platform you can start using in a matter of minutes, but will continue to scale with you in a professional environment.

This web hosting platform will give you freedom to create in your own personal way, and keep you and your clients happy with high performance, scalable and resilient infrastructure for the life of their website.

Even if you’re already familiar with AWS, you will discover new, simpler ways to create websites and manage resources. And if you’re not familiar, members who show up will receive continued support for answering questions through our website.
