18:30 - Why segmenting your infrastructure into tiers makes your infrastructure design better, Thameez Bodhanya, afterwards Q&A and break
19:30 - Agentic AI on AWS, Emad Bawah, afterwards Q&A
20:30 - Networking
21:00 - Closing

Speaker Bio Thameez Bodhanya: Developer at heart, tinkerer by trade. Officially an Engineering Lead (DevOps and SRE) at forward earth GmbH. Thameez leads forward earth's reliability, response, observability, and automation efforts; in addition to owning and optimizing the infrastructure stacks for scale and cost.
Summary: Infrastructure as Code has the great side-effect of allowing us to bucket our various types of infrastructure into tiers.
These tiers may divide the infrastructure in many different ways (perhaps in terms of ownership, security level, or even frequency of change). Each tier may then be treated as a distinct unit, with each tier building upon the previous, to create a cohesive and coherent architecture design.
This session will present a tried and tested tiering approach, which allowed us to improve our security posture, reduce IaC deployment times, reduce infrastructure sprawl, and enforce ownership; whilst giving greater freedom to our development teams to create required infrastructure quicker and safer.

Speaker Bio Emad Bawah: Senior Cloud Solution Architect at evocenta GmbH, where we focus on designing and implementing AI-driven solutions on AWS.
Summary: Agentic AI is about designing intelligent systems that can make decisions, interact dynamically, and perform tasks toward specific goals. , I will be talking about how to build such systems using AWS services.
