Hi Architects,

Welcome to our next AWS Brisbane Well-Architected User Group Meetup!!! 🥳

At each meetup we covered 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'll be announcing more speakers during the coming months but our speakers this month include:

* **Mystery Speaker**

**Can Cost Optimisation Improve your other pillars?**
In this talk, we'll go through whether Cost Optimisation can improve your security, operational excellence, reliability, etc. and more importantly, how (spoiler alert - it can but it will be an interesting exploration).

This month's menu will include:

* Pizzas
* Beer: Nastro Azzurro
* Wine: Big and red 🤤

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

\*\*\*NB: No entry to the building after 6pm\*\*\*
