Talk 1: Security services in AWS
Speaker: Thomas Gray, AWS

This talk will give an overview of security services within AWS. There’s a huge toolbox at your disposal, to cover use-cases for startups through to heavily regulated enterprises. This talk will help you understand which services are right for you, and how to use them together to meet your security needs.

Talk 2: DevOps on AWS
Speaker: Aled Sage, Cloudsoft

DevOps is about far more than just tooling. We’ll discuss the culture and processes, the change in mindset for successfully embracing DevOps, and cover some best practices.

Food and drink

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. We’ll also be providing a range of drinks.

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.
