AWS User Group KRK meetup #77 with Intellias
AWS User Group KRK meetup #77 with Intellias
Next AWS meetup is up to date. This chapter is dedicated to **cloud migration** and **a developer-first tour of the AWS services**. 🗓 **Save the Date**: Mark your calendar 🍕 + đŸș = Let's gather around pizza and beer at **Hevre** or Watch the stream on [YouTube (link)](https://youtube.com/live/x2YENCV4jnU) Hosted by: **Maciej Lelusz**, AWS Hero AWS Community Builders: **Maria Kmita** đŸŽ€ **Speakers**: ă€°ïž *„Cross-Account, Cross-Region,* *Cross-Fingers – Migrating a Live AWS Platform"* **Volodymyr Hordiienko**, DevOps Architect at Intellias ă€°ïž *„NET on AWS: Better Than You Think"* **Wojtek Dąbrowski**, AWS Hero 💡 Details about Speakers & Talks💡 **Volodymyr Hordiienko:** DevOps Architect with over a decade of experience in multi-cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, and delivery automation. Designs and builds production-grade environments across AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid on-prem - covering architecture, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, container platforms, security, and operational reliability. Has led cloud migrations, platform modernizations, and greenfield builds across industries, including telecom, healthcare, IoT, finance, and retail. ☞ will speak about: A practical AWS migration story about rebuilding a live platform from a single-account, manually managed setup into a governed multi-account delivery model. The talk covers Terragrunt/Terraform, ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda, Cognito, CI/CD, cross-account deployments, mobile release pipelines, enterprise IAM constraints, and the operational reality of getting an AWS platform truly ready for production. **Wojtek Dąbrowski**: is a Solutions Architect and backend engineer with over a decade of experience, working primarily with AWS. He stays hands-on with code and delivery, combining practical engineering with architecture and technical decision-making. Currently, he is a Platform Tech Lead at Northmill Bank. Since 2019, he has led AWS User Group Silesia in Poland, and in 2023, he was recognized as an AWS Hero. ☞ will speak about: Most people still assume AWS is not the natural home for .NET and treat C# as a “second choice” on AWS. That used to be a fair concern in some areas, but it’s no longer the reality. In this talk, we’ll walk through what building on AWS looks like when your primary stack is C# and modern .NET. We’ll take a developer-first tour of the AWS services that make .NET a strong fit: serverless workloads (APIs, async processing, event-driven systems), container platforms, and infrastructure-as-code written in C#. Along the way, I’ll show concrete patterns and trade-offs, including where .NET shines, where it’s neutral, and where you should be honest and pick a different tool. The goal is simple: leave with a clear mental model, practical options you can use immediately, and a refreshed view of what “.NET on AWS” can look like in 2026.

Finally, the next WinIT (Women in IT) event can be scheduled. It took longer than I wanted. I'm super-excited to to see Alexandra AprĂł give us a presentation. She (co-)held a very successful workshop last year on CraftConf. So many people were interested that we exploded the avialble space. This time her topic will be: **When hardware disappears: Building an NES emulator from scratch in .NET** A deep dive into how classic console emulation works, and how to recreate an NES emulator using .NET like CPU cycles, memory mapping, graphics pipeline, and timing.

A Night With
 Odysseus: the Challenge of Return in a Changing World.
A Night With
 Odysseus: the Challenge of Return in a Changing World.
Join us for the new session of our discussion series **“A Night With
”**, where we dive into timeless myths and their universal messages. Following our last session, where we explored the journey of Orpheus, this the time to delve into the *nostos* (gr. "homecoming") of Odysseus, and moreover into this complex but manifold character. **What to expect:** * I will open the meetup with a short introduction to Odysseus’ myth and share (or suggest) a few possible interpretations and connections. * After that, the floor is yours! Bring your thoughts, reflections, and any links you see between this myth and other domains, e.g. literature, art, philosophy, psychology, history or even your own creative work. * If you’re an artist and your work resonates with the divine twins' story, feel free to share it with the group. **Before the event:** Take 5 minutes to read the quick snippet of Odysseus’ myth (provided belowđŸ‘‡đŸœ) and think of: * A book, artwork, or personal reflection that relates to her story. * Any modern parallels or insights you’d like to discuss. This is a space for **open dialogue, creativity, and shared exploration**. ### ### **🌊The story of Odysseus in Brief** **đŸ›ïž Chaper 1. Before Troy – The Mind of Odysseus** Odysseus, king of Ithaca, is not the strongest Greek hero—that is Achilles—but he is the most intelligent, strategic, and persuasive. His defining traits: **Metis** **Persuasion and diplomacy** **Pragmatism:** Key early acts of wit: 1\. Avoiding the war \(feigned madness\) When Helen is taken to Troy, Odysseus tries to avoid joining the war. He pretends to be insane—ploughing the fields and sowing salt. But Palamedes tests him by placing his infant son Telemachus in front of the plough. Odysseus swerves to avoid harming him, revealing his sanity. 2\. Recruiting Achilles Odysseus is sent to find Achilles, who is hidden among women to avoid war. Odysseus cleverly lays out jewels and weapons; Achilles instinctively chooses the weapons, revealing himself. 3\. The Oath of Tyndareus Before Helen’s marriage, Odysseus had proposed a solution to avoid conflict: all suitors swear to defend the chosen husband. This idea later binds the Greek kings together in the Trojan War. **⚔ Chapter 2. The Trojan War – Strategy Over Strength** During the ten-year war, Odysseus becomes indispensable not for combat, but for turning points. Key contributions: 1\. The theft of the Palladium 2\. The Trojan Horse \(his greatest invention\) **🌊 Chapter 3. The *Nostos *** After victory, Odysseus’ journey home takes another 10 years. This is where his intelligence is constantly tested, but also where his flaws emerge. Main episodes: **🧠 The Cyclops (Polyphemus)** **👉 This triggers Poseidon’s curse** **🍃 The Bag of Winds** **🧙 Circe** **⚰ The Underworld** **đŸŽ¶ The Sirens** **⚖ Scylla and Charybdis** **đŸïž Calypso** **🏠Chapter 4. Return to Ithaca** After 20 years, Odysseus returns, but does not reveal himself. His palace is overrun by suitors. They consume his wealth and pressure Penelope to remarry. He returns as a beggar, observes before acting, thus testing loyalty (servants, son Telemachus, wife). Gradually reveals himself only to trusted individuals: Telemachus and a few loyal servants Penelope in her final attempt to stop the suitors, launches a challenge: only the man who can string Odysseus’ bow can marry her. None succeed. Odysseus (in disguise) strings it effortlessly. He reveals himself and kills them. **⚖ Chapter 5. After Ithaca: Beyond the Happy Ending** The story doesn’t simply end with victory. Families of the suitors seek revenge, and civil conflict threatens Ithaca. Athena intervenes by imposing peace Ends the cycle of violence. 📃📜**Principal ancient sources:** * Homer, *Iliad* * Homer, *Odyssey* * Sophokles, *Ajax*, *Philoktetes* * Euripides, *Hecuba*, *Cyclops* * Ovid, *Metamorphoses* * Virgil, *Aeneid* * Dante Alighieri, *Divina Commedia - Inferno* | | | --- | |

*Most online networking feels like a muted webinar. Most digital hangouts feel like chaotic small talk. We are here to do the opposite!* \-\-\- 👉 **STEP 1:** Register here on MeetUp 👉 **STEP 2:** Get your ticket on [Luma](https://luma.com/6tlaga8h) \-\-\- At the **Women’s Coffee Network**, we offer a non-traditional experience where you don't have to fight for your voice, perfect an elevator pitch, or navigate a room of strangers alone. We created this circle because **we don't believe in the hustle; we believe in the power of a steady anchor.** This is a facilitated experience, not just a meeting. We don’t just book a table; we curate a journey. Working with the precision of a designer and the empathy of a coach, we’ve built this soft sanctuary where **the superficial is skipped** and **the high-fidelity connection begins**. We're here to share personal stories and build professional alliances. **🌟** TOPIC FOR THIS EDITION ​Most professional environments demand a mask of constant performance, leaving little room for the realities of the human behind the title. In this special edition, we are opening the **Black Box** to address the strategic and personal topics the business world often ignores. First, we’ll look inward to reclaim our foundations, navigating the invisible life cycles and health transitions we face in silence. It's about choosing your own rhythm in a world that demands you go faster. We then shift to our impact on the system around us, exploring how our individual acts of grit create a ripple effect that changes the professional landscape for every woman at the table. ​ WHO IS THIS FOR? * 🎀 It's a **female-only community** because we have our unique way to express ourselves, struggles in the business world, and jokes only other women can understand. * 🎀 If the idea of a meetup with 50 people makes you want to stay home, this circle is for you! We gather in **small, intimate groups** — to meet enough new people to have a deep conversation, but not so many that you feel anxious or overwhelmed. * 🎀 Whether you are leading a corporation, building a creative empire, or navigating the quiet uncertainty of a career transition, you have a seat at our table. The **diversity of professional backgrounds** makes our circle special with shared wisdom. * 🎀 Our **soft-flow dialogue** ensures that no bravery is required to be heard. You don’t have to be the loudest in the room to be the most impactful. Here, your silence is respected, and your voice is gently invited.

Franklin Park Conservatory / Columbus Brewing Company
Franklin Park Conservatory / Columbus Brewing Company
**History** The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood. In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio. A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization. In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden. Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community. **Maps of the Conservatory** Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below). **Summary** For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year. Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now. **Tickets and pricing** On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20. Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4. Parking is always free. If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000. **Where we'll meet** We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather. **Your GPS is stupid!** Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you. The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road. If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West. You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive. \* Don't really do this. **After the event** After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu). The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event. We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.
