Develop Compliant Infrastructure
Joris Conijn, Cloud Consultant at Xebia
How do you know you are compliant? AWS Config will tell you when you deployed your infrastructure! Isn’t it better to prevent non-compliant resources to be deployed in the first place? Let’s see how we can use preventive and detective tools together.
About Joris: Joris has been working with the AWS cloud since 2009 and focussing on building event driven architectures. While working with the cloud from (almost) the start he has seen most of the services being launched. Joris strongly believes in automation and infrastructure as code and is open to learn new things and experiment with them, because that is the way to learn and grow. In his spare time he enjoys running and runs a small micro brewery from his home.
Four Ways to Run Kotlin on AWS Lambda
Elena van Engelen, Senior Software Engineer at EDSN
AWS Lambda is a serverless compute cloud service which can reduce cost of execution and improve scalability for applications with unpredictable load. However it comes with cold starts and runtime restrictions which also affect JVM languages. In this talk we show how we can use Kotlin’s cross platform capabilities to overcome common problems JVM languages have on AWS Lambda.
About Elena: I’m a Senior Software Engineer at EDSN. My current interest is deep diving into Kotlin on Serverless cloud.
Network Firewall Deep-Dive
Sidney Borrego y Diaz, Cloud Consultant at Xebia
In this session we’ll deep-dive into AWS Network Firewall service, an AWS-managed network security service that makes it easy to manage network protection for your AWS VPCs. During our talk we’ll go over:
- What capabilities the service offers
- The flexible rules engine
- Its different deployment models
- Some advanced use-cases
About Sidney: I’m an AWS enthusiast who likes to evangelize about how I think things should be done in AWS while trying to keep the balance between the real world and my AWS Valhalla.
