Hi Architects,

Welcome to the next [AWS Auckland Well Architected User Group](https://www.meetup.com/aws-canberra-well-architected-user-group/) Meetup of 2025!

At each meetup we covered off various pillars in detail, best-practices and insights from industry leaders that specialise in the Well-Architected Framework.

And giving away drones, of course. Lots of drones. Last month alone we had 3 winners! 🙂

We'll be announcing additional speakers throughout the month!

* **Nick Llittle, Managing Consultant, CyberCX**

**Agentic AI based AWS Workload modernisation and migration**
As organisations move beyond lift-and-shift, the next frontier is modernising legacy platforms while embracing new patterns like agentic AI. In this session, Nick will explore how customers are rethinking VMware and on-premises workloads, mainframes, and legacy .NET applications on AWS. We’ll look at how Well-Architected practices guide the journey from migration to modernisation and how emerging agentic AI workloads can be built and integrated securely and cost-effectively. Expect practical examples, lessons learned from the field, and a view into how AI-driven architectures are reshaping what “modern” means on AWS today.

* **Mystery Speaker**

**Changes to Well-Architected Framework & Foundational Technical Reviews**
In this talk, we dive deep into the technical and process changes that AWS has made, making achieving "Validated" status on your software far faster and getting onto AWS Marketplace easier.

This month's menu will include:

* Pizzas
* Beer: Nastro Azzuro
* Wine: Big and red 🤤

So come join us at 5:30pm for a 6pm **SHARP** start, followed by beer, wine, pizza and networking after our talks :-)
