Declarative vs programmatic IaC

What is the difference between declarative and programmatic approach for developing your Infrastructure as Code? Why it matters and when you should use each?

Best practices for writing good Infrastructure as Code when using AWS CloudFormation, AWS SAM, AWS CDK, Pulumi, Terraform, SST, Serverless Framework, etc.

Quick demo to showcase the power of AWS CDK constructs and patterns.

Slideshow + live demo + Q&A

Colorful quantum randomness

Experience the power of quantum superposition through this visual hands-on demo to generate truly random colors using actual quantum computers available on Amazon Braket.

See how quantum randomness can supercharge real-world applications in cryptography, material science simulation, and optimization problems that classical computers struggle to solve efficiently.

Showcase of quantum algorithm development using OpenQASM and Qiskit frameworks, running on IBM Quantum and Amazon Braket platforms. No prior quantum physics knowledge required, just bring your curiosity for emerging technologies!

From serverless to functionless

Examples of functionless (a.k.a. Lambda-less) integration pattern, where a direct integration between two AWS services is configured instead of using custom code in an intermediary Lambda function, based on Step Functions, AppSync, EventBridge.

Build a self-service for your tenant AWS accounts

How to use AWS Service Catalog to build catalogs of products (CloudFormation templates) and to distribute them to end-users? Create portfolio based on library of ready to use products, deploy own products with AWS CDK, share portfolios with AWS Organisations, integrate AWS Service Catalog with ServiceNow.

Policy as Code with AWS CDK and GitHub Actions

As infrastructure moves faster with Infrastructure as Code and continuous delivery, securing cloud environments can't be just an add-on.

Explore how to embed Policy as Code into your CI/CD pipelines using AWS CDK and GitHub Actions. Ensure that security and compliance are automated from the start.

Level up your DevSecOps game with some actionable insights to help you build secure AWS infrastructures by default.

Infra as Vibe Code with AWS MCP Servers

What if you could vibe code your serverless solutions on AWS with dedicated MCP Servers? And what could possibly go wrong?

Explore how to combine Amazon Q, AWS CDK, and AWS MCP Servers to develop serverless architectures on AWS Cloud.

Live demo of generating simple functionless app straight from prompts using Q Developer CLI and AWS MCP Servers for CDK, Step Functions, DynamoDB.
