Hi Architects,

Welcome to our next AWS Melbourne Well-Architected User Group Meetup for 2025, including more exceptional speakers and topics! :-D

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.

This month we welcome back another one of our most popular speakers; Tarun Saxena from TO THE NEW.

* **Mystery Speaker**

**Discovering the Brand-New AWS Gen AI Well-Architected Lens**
In May 2025, AWS released the Well-Architected Gen AI Lens, which allows you to review your generative AI against best-practices. We go through each of the pillars that apply and automation that's available, including reviewing AWS-native AI-driven tools (yes, that's AI reviewing AI).

This month's menu will include:

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

NB: Please check in up the stairs from the ground floor to the Mezzanine Level.

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