Talk 1: Analyse your Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to secure your Software Supply Chain
Speaker: Jonathan Brodie, Senior Cloud Security Engineer at Trustpilot

Over recent years, there has been a tremendous focus on how to secure a software supply chain by introducing measures to identify misconfiguration within application code. Though this is a step in the right direction, it is also important to consider IaC & the risks this can introduce. The purpose of this talk is to discuss these risks & how to overcome them.

Talk 2: Application Migration Strategies - Demystifying the 7 R's [TBC]
Speaker: Adrian Roberts, AWS

Customers who want to migrate to the cloud are often looking for the right strategy. This session will dive in to each of the 7 R's of application migration and help demystify why, how and when to leverage which strategy for your workloads.

The premise of the session is I will set the scene for migration, walk through each "R" in detail, the enabling tech and possibly do some demos time depending.

Food and drink

We’ll be providing a range of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, at the venue.

Food will be in the form of pizza - please let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements prior to the day and we will endeavour to meet your needs.

Code of conduct

Like a large number of other communities, we have an anti harassment policy and code of conduct (https://www.meetup.com/York-Amazon-Web-Services-User-Group/pages/32649582/Code_of_Conduct/), in order to support the inclusive nature of our events. It is necessary for all attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at any AWS Leeds to agree with the code of conduct.

Helping with diversity and inclusivity

The organising team for AWS York are keen to promote diversity and inclusivity, in terms of speakers, how events are run, and the composition of the organising team. If you would like to contribute to this aim, particularly if you think you have experiences that you might not consider to be typical for the majority of the tech community, we would be really excited to talk with you at the event.
