🚀 Agenda:

• Saving a Graviton of Money - Adam Hammond - Senior Software Engineer, Global Edge - Atlassian
  Skeptical about Graviton? Don't be. It is almost hard to believe how good ARM can be, so let's deep dive into real, global-scale results. Instances cost less than their x86 counterparts, process more requests, and tooling has matured to make the migration process relatively painless. Our Global Edge serves billions of requests per month in over 200 countries, and ARM has been a game changer. We will cover tooling, pitfalls, and take a look at the real results we've seen with our production workloads.
• AWS Pre:Invent Panel Discussion Hosted by Rowan Udell - AWS Security Hero
  Join us as we get ready for AWS re:Invent 2025 - one of the biggest events on the cloud calendar!
  Due to the timing of the conference this year (December 1 – 5) we won't be able to do a recap until the new year, so we're going to get ahead of the announcements and discuss pre:Invent 2025!
  Hosted by AWS Security Hero Rowan Udell, our panel of practitioners, consultants, and industry experts will discuss:
  - Announcements we're expecting
  - New features we're hoping for
  - Improvements AWS could deliver
  - Who's headlining re:Play
  - And of course... GenAI!
  We're looking for audience participation, so bring your boldest predictions and burning questions for our Q&A segment.
