An introduction to Amazon AI - Julien Simon
In recent months, AI and Deep Learning have become the hottest topics in the IT industry. However, their arcane jargon and intimidating equations often discourage software developers. In this talk, we’ll show you how to easily add AI capabilities to your applications thanks to the Amazon AI service family: image and video detection, natural language processing, etc. Going deeper, we’ll also talk about building and training your own models with Amazon SageMaker. Expect plenty of demos!

What is a Kubernetes and why would I want one? - Jonathan Lloyd
The way we deploy software in the cloud is changing faster every day. Unless you spend all day "scaling up the pods" you can get lost amongst all the new tech. If you've ever wondered "what is a Kubernetes and why would I want one?" This is the talk for you. Jonathan will cover what containers are, why you would want to orchestrate them and how you can get started with Kubernetes.
