============ THIS IN-PERSON EVENT IS FREE ============

💡 Session 1: From Build to Telemetry — Bedrock Agents with Strands SDK
Speaker: Jaya Ganesh K*, Application Developer, Genesys*
In this action-packed session, Jaya Ganesh will take us from theory to production by showcasing a production-ready agent built using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and the Strands Agents SDK.
You’ll see firsthand how to enable Memory, Code Interpreter, and Guardrails, and how to integrate OpenTelemetry instrumentation for visibility.
The session goes beyond basics — learn to track agent runs, monitor tool invocations, and visualize traces and metrics using Langfuse and Honeycomb via OTLP exporter.
Walk away knowing how to observe, debug, and optimize your agents for reliability in production.
If you’re building with Amazon Bedrock, LangChain, or Strands SDK, this session is a must-attend!

🔐 Session 2: TDE Inside Out — Protecting SQL Server Data at Rest on AWS
Speaker: Naveen Kumar*, Senior DevOps Engineer, o9 Solutions Inc.*
Data protection continues to be a core challenge in cloud modernization, and Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) provides one of the most effective methods to secure data at rest.
In this deep-dive session, Naveen will unpack how TDE works under the hood, covering its architecture, key hierarchy, and integration within SQL Server.
Discover how AWS simplifies encryption with Amazon RDS for SQL Server and AWS KMS, and learn how to configure TDE for self-managed SQL on EC2.
Expect demos, walkthroughs, and real-world gotchas from production deployments.
Whether you’re a DBA, DevOps engineer, or cloud architect, you’ll gain actionable best practices for ensuring compliance and security without sacrificing performance.

🤖 Session 3: AI-DLC with AWS Kiro (Agentic IDE)
Speaker: Raji Krishnamoorthy, AI Architect, Tata Consultancy Services
Modern AI engineering goes beyond prompts — it demands discipline, structure, and production-readiness.
In this session, Raji introduces AWS Kiro, an Agentic IDE that helps developers implement the AI-DLC (AI-Driven Development Life Cycle) — reimagining how intelligent systems are built and deployed.
Through a live walkthrough, Raji will show how Specs drive code generation, Steering enforces standards, Hooks run validation checks, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) brings context awareness right inside the IDE.
You’ll learn how to transform prompt-based experimentation into production-grade AI pipelines with automation and guardrails.
This session bridges GenAI tooling, DevOps automation, and AI observability, giving you a blueprint for structured, scalable, and fast GenAI workflows.
