🚀 Agenda:

• What's new from AWS - TBA
  Some of the best announcements from AWS and what they mean for you.
• Pizza, Beverages & Networking
• Jack Marrows, Chief Technologist @ Insurebot
• Insurance Tech in a Legacy World
• How do you build modern automation software for an industry full of legacy systems? Insurebot is a Brisbane-based small business powering around 20% of Australian insurance brokers—and we’ve built it all on AWS. In this talk, we’ll dive into how we’ve architected our SaaS and internal ops (yes, even invoicing) on AWS, the tradeoffs we’ve made, and how we handle the chaos of integrating with systems never meant for automation. We’ll also share lessons learned the hard way—from the pain of RPA to the realities of scaling in a niche but highly regulated space.
• Greg Luxford, Principal Consultant at Cevo
• Ensuring compliance using AWS Organizations, AWS Systems Manager and AWS Config Auto-Remediation Rules. A practical example of automating VPC Flow Logs.
