March 2026 AWS UG Leipzig

We’re excited to invite you to our next AWS User Group meetup on March 05 starting at 6:00 PM. This time, we’ll be hosted by Unite (formerly Mercateo).

First Talk: How to make IT on-call less troublesome: faster answers, better sleep, fewer escalations
Speaker: Bent Krause (Solution Architect AWS)

What if on-call alerts came with a diagnosis instead of just a symptom? The AWS DevOps Agent investigates incidents automatically, analyzes logs, checks metrics, and traces dependencies across AWS services. By the time your pager dragged you out of bed, the agent had already identified the root cause and prepared remediation steps. In this session we will understand the capabilities of the service and take a look at an interactive demo.

Second Talk: Two Repos, Zero Repetition: Mastering AWS Infrastructure with Terragrunt and GitOps
Speaker: Markus Zapke-Gründemann (Senior Cloud Architect, Thinkport)

What if you could manage multiple AWS environments without copying and pasting configuration files? What if every infrastructure change was versioned, reviewed, and auditable? Welcome to the world of Terragrunt and GitOps.

This session reveals a powerful architecture pattern: two monorepos working in harmony. The first houses your reusable Terraform modules and Terragrunt units — your infrastructure building blocks. The second contains pure configuration data, enabling GitOps workflows where every environment change flows through version control.
