What we’re about
Welcome to the AWS Canberra User Group! We are striving to create a community of AWS users that can come together and share their experiences and learn from others in the group. We discuss how people are using AWS and love hearing from people about what they like and don't like about the platform, and would love for anyone who is interested in AWS and cloud computing to come and join us!

Presentations
Beating the Real Estate Market with AWS for Fun and Savings - Miles Greenwark
Miles covers how he leveraged AWS to buy a house through web scraping and some 'hacker' techniques, as well as how to architect a similar data pipeline solution more effectively in the future.From Idea to Online: A Story of Deploying with AWS Fargate - Yi Jiang
This talk shares the story of using AWS Fargate to quickly deploy a secure, containerised web application without managing servers. I’ll break down the key components — containers, task definitions, load balancers, security groups, and SSL — and show how they come together into a production-ready architecture. The session also highlights lessons learned, from rapid delivery to trade-offs in control and cost, and how GitHub Actions and CloudFormation streamlined the pipeline. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of where Fargate fits best and how to apply it for fast, reliable web app delivery.
