Introduction to AWS

Are you interested in learning more about the world of cloud computing? Not sure what AWS services do or how they are used? Or perhaps you've been learning about AWS but would like a refresher on services and practical advice?

This is a 101 level talk, at the crux of it - infrastructure boils down to 3 things
1.> Network: (DNS, Route53, VPCs, Security Groups, ACLs etc.)
2.> Compute: Services like EC2
3.> Storage: (DAS and NAS)- EBS, EFS, S3 and others. (Coming from SAN, iSCSI), limitations and bandwidths of each.

And then there's abstract layers like Data bases: SQL (RDS, Aurora), NoSQL (Dynamo), Messaging (Event bridge, KafkaMSK), ML Notebooks (SageMaker), Crowd sourcing (Mechanical Turk), Services like EKS, ECS (which is managed K8, which is the new de-facto for infra),

Coming from a hardcore development background (and successfully founding and exiting a tech startup), I can talk about how a typical application is architected and deployed.

We welcome you to join Sam Kasimalla, our user group co-organizer, Senior Solutions Engineer JFrog, and ex-AWS, ex-Wall Street, ex-Big4 as he explores the core services of AWS and breaks things down logically.

If you are new to AWS would highly recommend this, if you already work on AWS you might learn about a couple of services that you haven't used before.

As always, food and drinks will be served. We hope to see you there!
