~~~~~ WHAT'S NEW ON AWS?! ~~~~~

~~~~~ PRESENTATION #1 - Painting with IAM: Least Privilege Policies ~~~~~

Least privilege policies in AWS IAM is like Security Nirvana on AWS. If everyone wants it, why don't more people do it already?

This talk is about the challenges with getting to least privileges, and how you can do it. While there's no shortcuts, there are a few things you can do to make your life easier and your IAM policies more secure.

~~~~~ PRESENTATION #2 - AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN) ~~~~~
•• Anoop Rachamadugu - Cloud Architect @ AWS ••

AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN) is a highly automated lift-and-shift (rehost) solution that allows you to quickly realize the benefits of the cloud with minimal downtime and no changes to your applications.

In this presentation, we will walk through the benefits of migrating of the AWS Cloud using AWS MGN, AWS MGN lifecycle, recommended network and architecture, differences between AWS MGN and Cloud Endure and end the presentation with keys to a successful implementation.
