**Talk 1 - IaC Reality Check: AWS CDK and Terraform Compared**

* **Description**: Infrastructure as Code is the backbone for building in the cloud: enabling automation, transparency, and speed. I used Terraform for years, but as setups got more complex, I hit the limits. Enter AWS CDK: IaC that speaks dev-friendly, AWS-native language.
In this talk, you’ll see CDK and Terraform head-to-head with real examples like Lambda deployments, IAM permissions, and more. No tool-bashing, just a straight-up reality check on where CDK shines and when Terraform still rules. Come join me and level up your IaC game on AWS!

**Talk 2 - Terraform and compliance-as-code**

* **Description:** Join me for an interactive session where we’ll explore real-world approaches to implementing compliance-as-code with Terraform, covering compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and HIPAA, tools like Prowler, Checkov, AWS Config, and of course open-source terraform-aws-modules. Bring your toughest questions and get ready for hands-on answers as we discuss compliance automation step by step.
