Here's the speaker lineup:

•• AWS Release Recap ••

We will go through the AWS release highlights since the last AWS User Group.

•• How the CloudWatch Event Bus supercharged your CloudTrail. ••

>> Presented by Elliott Spira, CTO @ GorillaStack

CloudTrail data is incredibly valuable, providing insight into all changes in your AWS Environment. Prior to the creation of the CloudWatch Events Bus, consuming these events was slow, cumbersome and unresponsive. Since it's creation, a self-healing, event driven cloud environment is a reality just a few steps away.

We'll explore event driven architectures, some open source solutions leveraging the event bus and what you can do to start responding to changes in your environment in real-time.
