## What is Document Freedom Day
Document Freedom Day is an annual celebration of open standards and free document formats, and we are joining this gathering, online and in-person in Melbourne (Naarm). If you've ever been locked out of a file because you didn't have the right software, or worried about your personal notes on EverNote or company notes on the cloud, this is exactly the kind of conversation worth having.
Especially now, in the new era of AI, while our documents and data are more prayed on, there are more potential opportunities to store, access and hardness insight from our documents privately and securely.
Join the meeting to listen in, to participate in the discussion or even present a lightning talk about a topic or technology you are passionate about.

Melbourne AWS User Group #157 - March 2026
🎉 **Melbourne AWS User Group – March Meetup** 🎉
---
📅 Wednesday, 25 March
📍 NAB Events Hub – 395 Bourke Street, Melbourne
⏰ Food at 6:00 pm, talks from 6:30 pm (with live stream)
Join us for our March for our March meetup as we explore two important areas of modern cloud architecture: **security and resilience**.
This month we’ll look at how organisations can improve least-privilege access using IAM Access Analyzer, and how to design highly resilient architectures using AWS fault isolation and multi-region patterns.
This month’s lineup features:
• **Hazra Ali**, a brand new **AWS Community Builder for 2026**, is presenting on how business analysis techniques can improve outcomes when using AWS IAM Access Analyzer.
• **Anshika Gupta** sharing architectural principles for building resilient systems using static stability, fault isolation, and multiple AWS Regions.
A huge thank you to our sponsors: 🥇 **Mantel Group – Gold Sponsor**, 🥈 **Cevo – Silver Sponsor**, 🏛 **NAB – Venue Sponsor**
The event will be live-streamed on YouTube as always.

🗓️ **Agenda**
6:00 pm – Food & Socialising
6:30 pm – Introductions
6:40 pm – What’s New in AWS
6:55 pm – **Business Analysis in AWS IAM Access Analyzer (Level 100)**; Speaker: Hazra Ali
7:25 pm – **Reinforcing Resilience in the Real World with Static Stability, Fault Isolation and Multiple Regions (Level 200)**; Speaker: Anshika Gupta
7:55 pm – Marketplace (Who’s Hiring)

🎤 **Talk Details**
**Business Analysis in AWS IAM Access Analyzer**
Speaker: Hazra Ali
Level: 100
Business analysis plays a crucial role in helping organisations implement change to address challenges and leverage solutions that deliver value. AWS IAM Access Analyzer helps organisations grant precise permissions as requirements evolve, guiding users toward least privilege by enabling them to set, verify, and refine permissions.
In this presentation, Hazra will explore how business analysis practices can enhance the effectiveness of IAM Access Analyzer when solving real-world problems. The session will also discuss how AI can support business analysis workflows and assist in understanding the core concepts behind IAM Access Analyzer.
***
**Reinforcing Resilience in the Real World with Static Stability, Fault Isolation and Multiple Regions**
Speaker: Anshika Gupta
Level: 200
At AWS, resilience is viewed as a continuous process, built on years of experience working with customers operating critical workloads.
In this session, Anshika will explore how to design systems using AWS fault isolation boundaries and the concept of static stability to achieve predictable recovery times and high availability.
You’ll learn:
• How AWS Regions are designed and operated for resilience
• Key architectural patterns AWS services use to maintain operations during disruptions
• How static stability helps maintain availability under failure conditions
• Practical architecture patterns for building multi-region resilience
This session will showcase design principles, best practices, and example architectures that can help you meet your resilience requirements for mission-critical workloads.

A workshop about how you can be build better with AI. The workshop will explore concepts that make LLM and agents more useful by integrating with your projects as first party agents.Pre-requisites:
An idea you want to work on
Antigravity or IntelliJ with Gemini Code Assist. Or Just Gemini CLI
💻 Workshop 2: Build It, Guard It, Ship It: Building Secure AI Apps with Model Armor
In this hands-on workshop, we'll build a real AI chat app and layer in enterprise-grade security using Google Cloud's Model Armor — before shipping it to production on Cloud Run. We'll explore real-world attack vectors like prompt injection and system prompt hijacking, see how modern LLMs handle them, and then add Model Armor as a dedicated security layer that screens every prompt and response — independent of the model. Finally, we'll containerise the whole thing and deploy it to Cloud Run. You'll walk away with a working, secured, production-ready AI app and a security pattern you can apply to any LLM project.

KMLF March 2026 - Making your AI trustworthy
Have you ever met someone who really wants to learn guitar, but rather than have Lessons, they just watch hundreds and hundreds of YouTube videos? No order, no progressing skill and not even the same genre of music? That is how most people are approaching AI right now and Knowledge Management has something BIG to say about that.
When businesses say “My system is hallucinating”, KMers hear “I fed my system a bunch of random data, why is it saying random things??”. Two words have been missing and are now taking off, in fact some are calling it a $billion industry. Context and Provenance.
Come along to KMLF for a different session. We will be watching a recent discussion from one of the top voices in this field and learning and discussing what it means for us as we help guide our organisations to a better AI (and knowledge) future.
Thanks again to MinterEllison, who host the amazing space we meet in each month.
**Session Details:**
* **Date & Time:** 6:00pm AEDST, Fourth Wednesday of each month
* **Format:** Minter Ellison and on Teams
* **Agenda:**
* 6-6:30 pm networking
* 6:30-7:45pm exploration of the topic
* 7:45-8pm wrap up
* 8pm dinner for those interested.
KMLF has run monthly, almost uninterrupted since 1998, serving the Victorian Knowledge Management community with close ties to Change Mgt, Records Mgt, Information Governance and Academic communities.

You will have many opportunities to stop and take one-of-a-kind photos of the picturesque sights.
**Day 4 – April 10** – Your group will spend today at the famous Keukenhof Garden, known as the Garden of Europe. This is one of the world’s largest flower gardens and is found to be the most beautiful in spring. Keukenhof Park covers an area of 32 hectares and has approximately 7 million flower bulbs planted annually. Make sure to have your camera ready to capture all of the vibrant colors and unique displays at the Keukenhof Garden! Transfer from Amsterdam to begin your adventure in The Hauge as the fun continues.
