Welcome to the AWS Sydney Well-Architected User Group - October 2024 Meetup!

Welcome to our next AWS Sydney Well Architected User Group Meetup for 2024, including more exceptional speakers and topics! :-D

At each meeting we cover off various pillars in detail, best-practices and insights from industry leaders that specialise in the Well-Architected Framework.

And giving away drones, of course. Lots of drones.

We're excited to announce multiple speakers again for this month!

• Amol Mittal - Solutions Consulting Architect, Zscaler
• Jesus Rodriguez - Partner Solutions Architect, AWS

Enhancing Cloud Security Posture on AWS the Well-Architected Way


In this session, Amol and Jesus will focus on how a Zero-Trust approach complements the AWS Well-Architected Framework by enhancing the security pillar. Attendees will learn about some of the challenges customers face in terms of security through the lens of AWS Well-Architected framework and how Zero Trust help address these challenges.

• Mystery Speaker

Automating cyber.gov.au's Essential Eight Compliance
Our mystery speaker will go through how to automate best-practice Essential Eight checks "left" in your pipeline and "right" in your infrastructure, which of the Eight apply to AWS (spoiler alert - a lot!) and ensuring compliance with the most important framework in Australia, including fixing misconfigurations before they get to your infrastructure.

This month's menu will include:

• Pizzas
• Beer: Nastro Azzuro
• Wine: Big and red 🤤

NB: Please enter by Kent St and go to Level 8 to check in.

So come join us at 5:30 for a 6pm SHARP start, followed by beer, wine, pizza and networking after our talks :-)
