Talk 1
AWS Control Tower and Beyond: A Solution Architect’s Blueprint for Governance at Scale
In 2025, discussing an AWS Multi-Account Strategy might seem trivial.
However, adopting a multi-account strategy is not a given. Many businesses still lack a robust cloud foundation, often resulting in poorly architected, non-compliant, and costly environments that make security, governance, and operational management difficult.
Building a well-architected multi-account environment aligned with security and compliance best practices requires expertise, effort, and the coordination of numerous AWS services.
Fortunately, AWS Control Tower simplifies this process. In less than an hour, it can establish a well-architected multi-account environment, providing a strong foundation.
This talk will demonstrate the immense value of AWS Control Tower from a Solution Architect’s perspective. Attendees will learn how to refine and customize the environment it creates to achieve governance, cost management, and security at scale.

Talk 2
Better mocking with Lambda extensions, Wiremock, and Rust
