1. Meetup Agenda:
✅ Next Generation Authorisation – a developers guide to Cedar - (Principal Advocate in Open Source, AWS - Ricardo Sueiras)

Authorization is one of the foundational needs when building your applications and services. Ensuring to correctly and reliably grant or deny access to your application resources is critical. However, this remains one of the challenging tasks usually faced by developers.

In this session, the speaker (Ricardo) will cover a new open source project from AWS called Cedar that helps you solve this problem and build next generation authorization into your applications. He will be going to provide a quick overview of authorization principles first before looking at Cedar. Subsequently, a simple demo will be illustrated to show how Cedar helps you to simplify authorization processes for applications.

✅ Common pitfalls in OpenSearch and Data analytics tooling usability - (Senior Researcher, AWS - Aparna Sundar, PhD)

In this session, we will discuss common pitfall of usability and accessibility that AWS analytics customers commonly face. Apart from low-code usability such as curated experiences of dashboards, Q-experience (AI/ML), or data plane curations that our users need to enable for their users across AWS services, we will address the importance of a robust design system, prioritization of accessibility, curated experiences and it’s usability, how to structure information architecture across various data services and more importantly is there a common thread across AWS analytics that allows us to define the common denomination for all things data.

This topic would appeal to the subject matter experts of both time series and warehouse data analytics to discuss predicable customer use cases that makes navigating the domain of data analytics on the cloud seamless, intuitive and productive.
