6:05 PM - "Next Gen Cloud Native: Kubernetes Without the Hassle - EKS on Fargate with GitOps, and the Future of Scalable Deployments" by Thiago Ramos

This talk explores the evolution of cloud-native development and delves into the powerful synergy of AWS EKS on Fargate and GitOps.
It will cover how this approach simplifies Kubernetes management, eliminates node operations, and automates deployments, enabling scalable, secure, and agile application delivery.
Attendees will learn how to build a future-proof architecture that empowers teams to focus on innovation, not infrastructure.
Beyond simplification and scalability, we'll also discuss the inherent flexibility of this architecture, allowing you to adapt to evolving business needs and technology landscapes.
Crucially, we'll address the concern of vendor lock-in and demonstrate how leveraging open standards and GitOps practices mitigates this risk, providing greater control and portability for your applications.

This talk will provide valuable insights into building scalable and efficient applications in a modern cloud environment, which I am confident would resonate with your community.

7:00 PM - "Observability Made Simple: Leveraging AWS Lambda Powertools for Enhanced Logging and Tracing" by Stan Fan from AWS

This will cover the challenges with serverless compute technology, Lambda function, and how to improve the observability with Lambda Powertool.
