AWS User Group Berlin Session - June 2026

Dear Community,

after so many workshops, and a breathtaking Hamburg Summit, it's time to greet the sunshine and carry on the spirit of our beloved city! We have three amazing talks prepared for you this time! Thanks to our loyal host Bonial International GmbH - we look forward meeting you all on the date!

===================================================

18:15 - Warming up and networking chat
18:30 - Intro by AWS UG Berlin & Bonial
18:45 - 19:10 - Alexey Grigorev // Zero-Trust AWS Access for Humans and AI Agents

Alexey will share two real-world stories about managing AWS access securely outside of AWS itself.
First, he will show how he organized a hands-on workshop where participants used personal laptops and GitHub Codespaces to provision infrastructure in their AWS account — without ever receiving long-lived AWS credentials. They needed something similar to EC2 instance profiles, but for arbitrary external environments.
Then he will talk about AI agents and autonomous tooling. Alexey's agents run on non-AWS servers with intentionally restricted permissions. Sometimes they need temporary access to AWS sandbox environments, but he doesn’t want permanent credentials on those machines.
Alexey will show an approach for granting short-lived, revocable AWS access on demand.

19:10 - 19:35 - Surjeet Singh Sachdeva// A Journey From Five Certification Reschedules to AWS Golden Jacket and AWS Ambassador

In this session, Surjeet will share his journey of working through the AWS certification path, leading to the AWS Golden Jacket, along with the practical steps, discipline, and consistency required to reach it. He will also explain what the Golden Jacket represents in the AWS ecosystem, including the recognition, credibility, and deeper access it brings within the community, and how professionals can approach the certification journey in a structured way.

19:35 - 20:00 - Networking break with food, snacks and drinks

20:00 - 20:30 - Abdul Wahid // Deep Dive into Bedrock to Implement HITL Architecture

With the help of AWS Bedrock and his personal domain knowledge in the field on banking, Abdul Wahid will demonstrate The Human-in-the-loop (HITL) architecture by adding a layer of foundation model in the process to analyse the fraudulent transaction and return a confidence score. If the confidence score is below the defined threshold, then the system will alert the human to make the decision rather than letting AI to make mistakes.

20:30 - 20:50 - Common Q&A Round for all speakers.
