🎉 **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) 8:00 pm – Networking + Close *** 🎤 **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. *** 🙌 **Want to Speak at a Future Meetup?** We’re always looking for new speakers and believe everyone has an interesting talk waiting to be shared. If you’d like to present at a future event, reach out at the meetup or via our website: 👉 [https://melb.awsug.org.au/speak/](https://melb.awsug.org.au/speak/)

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.

Although many people in our Kismetrix community meet through singles events, this **Healing Circle is open to everyone and not limited to singles**. Anyone who feels drawn to an evening of reflection, awareness, and personal growth is warmly welcome. [Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/mar-25th-the-9-senses-awakening-healing-circle-fire-ritual-tickets-1985241971177?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- The 9 Senses Awakening: Healing Circle & Fire Ritual ### Healing Circle • Reflection • Release 📅 **Wednesday, 25 March 2026** 🕖 **7:00 PM – 9:30 PM** 📍 **RYVE** Level 1, 38 Shafton St, Huntingdale VIC 3166 ## A Space to Pause, Reflect, and Let Go Sometimes in life we carry things quietly inside us. Old emotions. Unspoken words. Past experiences. Stress, heartbreak, grief, or simply the weight of moving through the world. We keep going, often without giving ourselves the space to truly process what we’ve been holding. This evening is an invitation to **pause**. To breathe. To reconnect with yourself. And if you feel ready — to gently release what you no longer need to carry. The last **9 Senses Awakening Healing Circle** I hosted became one of the most beautiful and meaningful gatherings I’ve experienced. Many people shared that it gave them a rare moment to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves in a deeper way. Because of that experience, I’ve felt called to create this space again. This event is **open to everyone** and **not limited to singles**. Anyone who feels drawn to a quiet evening of reflection, awareness, and personal growth is warmly welcome. ## The 9 Senses Awakening Throughout the evening we will explore awareness through **nine layers of human perception**. The physical senses • Sight • Sound • Smell • Taste • Touch The inner senses • Intuition • Emotional awareness The subtle senses • Energy (vibration and presence) • Spiritual connection Through simple guided practices, breath awareness, and mindful reflection, we reconnect with these senses — helping us return to presence and inner clarity. ## Healing Circle & Sharing This evening is held in a **healing circle**, creating a space where everyone is seen, heard, and respected. There is **no pressure to speak**. You are welcome to simply listen and be present. For those who wish to share, the circle allows space for reflection and connection with others who may be navigating their own journeys. ## Fire Ritual – Letting Go Toward the end of the evening we will take part in a **symbolic fire ritual**. Participants will be invited to write down something they are ready to release — a past story, emotional weight, fear, resentment, or something that has been quietly sitting in their hearts. As the paper burns, we symbolically allow that chapter to transform. Many people describe this moment as **deeply moving and liberating**. ## What to Expect • A calm and supportive environment • Guided sensory awareness and reflection • A healing circle and optional sharing • A symbolic fire ritual for release • A small and intimate group experience No previous experience with meditation or healing circles is required. Simply bring yourself, exactly as you are. ## Hosted by Vivienne Vu Vivienne Vu is passionate about creating spaces for reflection, emotional awareness, and authentic human connection. Her work focuses on helping people reconnect with themselves, release emotional weight, and move forward in life with greater clarity and intention.

**\*\* NEW VENUE \*\*** Room 080.02.002 at RMIT (Building 80) - 445 Swanston St, Melbourne **\*\* NEW VENUE \*\*** **How Bad Terraform Reaches Prod: Building Azure Guardrails That Actually Work** - **@Maple** Terraform makes it easy to ship cloud changes fast, including the risky ones. This talk is a hands-on walkthrough of a small Azure lab where I intentionally introduce common "oops" changes (public exposure, missing tags, unsafe configs) and show how they slip through a typical IaC workflow unless you build real guardrails. **"Do not obey in advance" - Cybersecurity in the Fight Against Techno-Authoritarianism - @Mendas** Cybersecurity protects free speech and human rights. It plays an important role in resisting authoritarian regimes and protecting democratic freedoms. This talk discusses how encryption, anonymity tools, and similar technologies can help activists, journalists, and citizens evade state surveillance and censorship. Discussion highlights how digital resistance strategies can be used to counter oppression. **Streaming** If you can't attend the event in person the talks will be streamed in the "ruxmon-stream" voice channel in the Ruxcon Discord in the day of the event!

Smashing! Try something new Friday night Interactive workshops - Become the charismatic leader Serious about improving your leadership - **Why mess, come to the best** Why is Smashing different to other speaking clubs? Just one member's thoughts, "The fun/laughs factor is definitely a point of difference. We keep it moving with high standards so it’s a nice balance. Too strict makes it tense and boring, too loose and the commercial feel is lost. SmashSpeak's vibe is in the sweet spot." **Free parking** close: O'Connell and Cobden streets **IMPORTANT: Be on time, as doors close when the show starts** “Proudly Australian" – Free-flowing teamwork, sharing the stage and greater good focus Multicultural Hub, 506 Elizabeth St (Opposite Queen Vic Market) Level 1, Orange room More to come...

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you.
