Intro to RAG with Amazon AgentCore
In this hands-on workshop, you'll go from raw embeddings to a fully deployed, production-ready RAG agent on AWS — no prior RAG or AgentCore experience needed.
We'll build a real document Q&A system, stage by stage:
* **Basic RAG from scratch** — embed documents yourself with Amazon Titan Text Embeddings V2, store them in a local FAISS index, retrieve with cosine similarity, and generate answers with Claude.
* **Bedrock Knowledge Bases** — swap the DIY pipeline for a fully managed service that handles chunking, embedding, and indexing (OpenSearch Serverless) from an S3 data source, with hybrid search and metadata filtering. Compare the results against your hand-built version.
* **AgentCore Agent** — wrap your RAG into a Strands agent, containerize it, push to ECR, and deploy to AgentCore Runtime with session isolation, auto-scaling, and streaming.
* **Production hardening** — add AgentCore Memory for conversation continuity, instrument with OpenTelemetry for traces in CloudWatch, run a RAG evaluation suite, and expose your knowledge base as a Gateway MCP tool.
By the end you'll have a deployed, invokable RAG agent on AgentCore Runtime — with memory, full observability, and a real feel for the tradeoffs at every layer, from local FAISS to managed production.
What to bring:
* Laptop with Python 3.11+ (managed via uv) and AWS CLI v2 installed
* An AWS account
Skill level: Intermediate — some Python and basic AWS familiarity helpful. No prior RAG or agent development experience required.
Golang July @ Stile Education
Hi Gophers! We're at Stile Education this July. Join us to explore the essential infrastructure of modern AI, featuring David Leadbeater on securing AI agents through advanced sandboxing techniques and Sahil Devkota on building accurate, real-world applications using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
*
**Agenda**
**5.45pm — Food & Networking**
**6:30pm — Intro**
**6:45pm — Talks**
**8.00pm — Wrap up then head out for kick ons**
*
**Talks**
🎤 **David Leadbeater**
**Sandboxing in the age of AI**
Sandboxing is more important than ever, with AI agents running code everywhere. This talk will look at options from VMs to "self isolation" such as with Landlock (using go-landlock).
🎤 **Sahil Devkota**
**Why to use RAG?**
In this talk, I'll break down how RAG works, why is it really important in real-world and it's popular architectural pattern. We'll look at the core components of a RAG pipeline, discuss it's implementation approach, and cover some of the key things to think about when building an AI applications with RAG.
We'll also briefly explore the fundamentals of Agentic RAG, how it extends traditional RAG by allowing AI systems to reason, plan and make decisions about what information to retrieve and when. While this won't be a deep dive into Agentic RAG, you'll gain a practical understanding of the concepts and how they fit into the evolving AI landscape.
Whether you're working with AI or building application that need accurate responses, you'll leave with a practical understanding of when RAG make sense - and when it doesn't.

Each Saturday, apart from the obvious conversations, we try to do some magic just so you can get a feel for it. The people that come along range from complete beginners to those that have been living the pagan life for some time. It doesn’t matter. Everyone has something to contribute or some just want to soak up the atmosphere. Either way, whether you come for half an hour or the whole day you’ll feel refreshed, empowered and validated … and you may have even met some of our nature spirits.
Our shop is also open (it doesn’t cost anything if you just want to come and look at the shop), so remember to top up on your magical supplies while you’re here. We now also have a selection of potted herbs for sale including such magical herbs as Mugwort, Rue and Squill.

2xTalks: Why Logic Apps are Better, and P1 Incident Resolution with AI
We are excited to host Andrew and Bill for our next Melb.NET event where we discuss how to resolve P1 incidents using AI, Context & Data the right way, and why Logic Apps and Azure Functions are awesome for integration workloads.
**Agenda:**
* 5:30pm arrival - Food and drinks provided in-person
* 6pm kickoff - Welcome & Introduction and few words from our Sponsors - 10 min
* 6:10pm - Session 1
* 6.45pm - Session 2
**Session 1:** P1 Incident Resolution with AI, Context & Data by [Andrew Rickard](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-rickard-2600594/)
A real client. A real P1 incident. A production issue that needed answers fast.
This session tells the story of how a critical incident was investigated and resolved using an AI-assisted approach grounded in the right context, relevant system knowledge and raw operational data.
We’ll explore what worked, what mattered, and why AI was useful not because it “knew the answer”, but because it helped connect the dots across logs, system behaviour, client context and engineering judgement.
**Session 2:** Why Azure Logic Apps are Better for Integration Workloads by [Bill Chesnut](https://www.linkedin.com/in/billchesnut/)
Bill's talk will detail how features of Azure Logic Apps make them the best choice for Integration workloads. As we all know, integration workload tends to be the most volatile because we typically control only the source or the destination, not both.
We will look at the Design, Development, Deployment, and Support aspects of Azure Logic Apps and Azure Functions to determine how they fit with integration workload.

OWASP Melbourne - July 2026 Lean Coffee Style Meetup
Hello all,
It's been a little while, but we're excited to finally get everyone together again for our first meetup of the year. We hope to see both familiar faces and newcomers alike!
On **9th July 2026 at 6:00 PM**, we'll be meeting at **[Apas Canteen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/UgZkfnqxtoHkTxVP8)**. We picked this spot and look forward to catching up over some great food and conversation.
📢 **A quick update:** We're still using Meetup for now, but we're not sure how much longer we'll have this space. We're exploring alternative platforms and will keep everyone updated if anything changes. In the meantime, Meetup remains the best place to RSVP and stay informed about upcoming events.
🚨*There's NO BOOKING. If you're the first to arrive, please grab a table for the group and post a picture of the table's location in the comments of this meetup event. We'll use it to locate each other. (If you don't see a post, you're lucky first. Please grab us a table and post a pic. 😉)*
Please remember to update your RSVP if you can no longer attend, even if it's just 30 minutes beforehand. It'll help whoever arrives first know how big a table to get. We do take note of no-shows, and to make sure we've got space for those who actually attend, your RSVP may be deprioritised for future events.
**If you're having trouble finding us**, send a message to [Dan on Signal](https://signal.me/#eu/4yti0PmJCFvXhLH_vmLcxO7Xy3VAM_yY9wRhOQCA1qn7UqWh1nFBa4rNCccfHyhW) or [Gyle on Signal](https://signal.me/#eu/i0oZi6pmvttc3E_NXOFH1HVSj8MuB2PCurXqP7aDZTxDlv4EXJRBX7EmvWfEekuh).
See you there.
More details on the format, and what to expect below:
**The Practitioner's Roundtable**
It's a monthly meetup, for AppSec/ProdSec practitioners to participate discussing AppSec/ProdSec topics and share knowledge. There's no speakers, or sponsors; just a facilitator, with the expectation that you'll join the conversations. Broadly, the idea is that you're swinging by after work, for a regular catch-up with our peers over dinner (with F&B at your own cost) with a known format.
\-\-\-
**So, what's happening?**
The format:
1. At 6pm all attendees arrive, and order (and pay for) their own meals - we'll do the rest while waiting for the meals to arrive and as we eat.
2. All attendees write down on a card 1-2 AppSec/ProdSec related topics they'd like to discuss.
3. We'll all each cast 3 votes on the cards we'd like to discuss.
4. We'll sort the cards, and discuss the topics with the top 3-4 highest votes. Starting with the topic with the highest votes.
5. After 5(?) minutes, we all decide if we'd like to continue or move on to the next topic.
6. If we continue, after 15(?) minutes, we all move on to the next topic of discussion.
7. At 7pm, we wrap up and officially end. Before everyone leaves, we vote on the next restaurant that we'll meet at.
This is[ inspired by Lean Coffee](https://agilecoffee.com/leancoffee/), and intended for participants to be collaborators in the conversation focused on AppSec & ProdSec topics. *You are expected to participate in the AppSec/ProdSec conversations constructively if you attend*. This isn't the place for BizDev focused conversations.
For the location selection, here are the considerations we work with:
1. It must be within 1 "city block" of the Melbourne Free Tram Zone.
2. The typical price for a whole meal (without alcohol) should be under $50 per person.
3. It must allow individual orders - you'd be ordering and paying for your own meal.
4. It will need to have seating space for the group to say, just walk-in to the restaurant ( this may change if it grows beyond 10 regular attendees ).
5. It must be quiet enough for us to have meaningful conversations.
6. It must not be a restaurant we've been to in the past 6 months. (Just to keep things fresh )
Also, although we use the word “restaurant” this is used broadly to mean food establishment - if we’re all keen on hitting up a decent kebab place, that works. As a courtesy to the venue, there's an expectation that you'd order something there.
