A huge thanks to our Gold sponsor Versent (https://versent.com.au), and Silver sponsor Envato (https://envato.com), who are presenting this month, for their continued support throughout 2018.

A big thanks also to Arjen who has agreed to share his AWS User Group Conference presentation with those who were unable to attend.

# Serverless Containers Deep Dive

• Arjen Schwarz

Level 300

AWS Fargate was released in Sydney in July and offers many possibilities to improve your architectures. We'll go through what Fargate is, how you can use it for your own tasks, and how you can integrate it with the rest of your infrastructure and applications.
