AWS Alexa by Amer Grgic
Always wanted to learn how to create a conversational interface using Alexa? In this presentation, Amer Grgic will take you trough the steps on creating Alexa Skills, using Flask-Ask, Lambda, Rekognition and the Amazon API Gateway.
After the talks we we'll have room for you to further discuss AWS topics like Alexa with Amer, or to join Mark in the guided workshop.
AWS CloudFormation Custom Resources by Mark van Holsteijn
CloudFormation is a great tool to define your infrastructure-as-code on AWS. But what if you want to provision a database user, a Kong API definition or just a real RSA secret key? With Custom Providers you can extend CloudFormation anyway you want!In this workshop, we will give you a brief overview of the technical details of creating your own custom CloudFormation resource. Once that is done, you can create your own! So, if you are in for a deep dive, than join us! You are required to bring your own laptop and not be afraid of Python.
