What we’re about
The Auckland Amazon Web Services Community is a group dedicated to cloud services provided by Amazon. Because we are specific to Amazon Web Services (AWS), we can go deep into some of the technical services provided by AWS and get some really great insights into how their services work.
This group is for beginner's, pro's and everything in between we will be tackling basic concepts, technical breakdowns and user stories.
If you want to put your application in the cloud and have already chosen AWS, or if you already have applications in the AWS cloud, then this is a great group to get helpful insights and advice from other group members. Also we would love to invite you to speak if you're interested in sharing some of your experiences.
The Auckland AWS Community is all about AWS, so if you want to fast track your network and skills with AWS then this is the group for you.
