Cloud foundations: why all tech beginners should learn it
Cloud is everywhere and is already part of our lives in many aspects. To start your journey in this crucial area, you don't need to be a tech saver. If you haven't already started it, you definitely should. Let's talk a bit about Cloud. Why is this so important for any tech beginner? And where you can start your learning journey.

Suzana is a full-stack developer at Conqa and graduated last December on AWS CloudUp, the AWS Cloud Training for Women. She is also a co-organiser of FullStack Developers NZ and a member of Woman In Tech NZ and other community projects around Aotearoa. Suzana has a bachelor's in Communications with over 20 years of experience. Passionate for both areas, Web Development and Communications, she actively uses her skills to help improve the number of women and minorities in tech and grow the tech scene in NZ.

CI/CD on AWS - demo of CodePipeline with Code Build and Code Deploy
Let's dive into the foundations of CI/CD and the services AWS provides to support the whole development and CI/CD process.

Jyothi is a solutions architect at AWS. She has over 20 years of experience in the industry, building software and leading teams on their DevOps journey. New to the world of meetups, she is eager to share her experiences and help and learn from fellow developers.

When: 5 pm on 16 Feb
Where: "Spaces", Level 17, PwC Tower, 15 Customs Street West · Auckland
