Title: Failure Happens. Your Code Shouldn't Care.
Description: As software engineers, we know our code will be retried, restarted and run more than once. Temporal makes this manageable by letting us write reliable workflows that recover automatically from crashes and restarts without defensive plumbing. I’ll explain how it works and prove it with a live demo that treats failure as just another code path.

Scott Gray: Capgemini
Title: Secure by Design: Cloud Infrastructure Security Through Automation

Description of Talk: This talk explores how to build secure cloud infrastructure by integrating security best practices directly into your CI/CD workflows.
We’ll walk through how CI/CD tools can help you:

• Automate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployments with Terraform
• Run automated security scans on your IaC code using tools like Checkov and Trivy to enforce best practices for IAM permissions, network security, encryption, and logging
• Securely inject secrets during deployment using cloud secret‑management services
• Catch misconfigurations and vulnerabilities early by shifting security left into your pipeline

Through detailed examples and CI/CD pipeline walkthroughs, attendees will learn how to harden their cloud environments while maintaining high velocity and continuous delivery. This talk is ideal for DevOps engineers, cloud architects, and developers looking to scale securely in the cloud.
