Modernize Everything: macOS Fleets & Databases on AWS

Join us as we have 2 distinct topics for our meetup this time.

Our first Topic abstract
Learn the differences between physical, virtual, and cloud Macs like Amazon EC2 Mac, how to best manage them with tools like Fleet, and how to access remotely with apps like HP Anyware and Citrix VDA. Learn best practices around automation and configuration to dynamically scale your macOS fleet, integrating directly into development pipelines to seamlessly build, test, sign, and publish Apple apps.

About Fleet
Fleet is an open endpoint management platform for macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, and servers. Trusted by over 1,300 organizations, Fleet helps IT and Security teams gain granular visibility and control over devices to reduce tool sprawl, automate workflows, and enforce continuous compliance. By bringing infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices to device management, Fleet ensures endpoints remain secure and operational, freeing engineering teams to focus on strategic initiatives.

Second Topic Abstract:
Business-critical database workloads—including Oracle, SQL Server, and other commercial databases—demand uncompromising performance, availability, and resilience. Migrating these commercial databases to AWS unlocks significant cost savings, performance improvements, enhanced availability, and scalability opportunities. This session equips AWS Partners with foundational knowledge and practical strategies to guide customers through Oracle and SQL Server migration journeys.

What you'll learn:
Examine common migration challenges, licensing optimization strategies, and modernization pathways that help customers reduce total cost of ownership while improving operational resilience
Learn about emerging technologies—including AWS Generative AI tools and agentic AI capabilities—that simplify and accelerate database migrations to AWS, enabling partners to capture commercial database opportunities effectively
