Building Serverless Applications In AWS Workshop

Tired of trying to manage and maintain servers? Never have a large enough operations team? Don’t have a budget for running lots of servers? Don’t want to pay for servers siting idle? Afraid you might become so popular that you won’t be able to scale fast enough? Don’t worry, it is possible to alleviate these issues by moving to a serverless architecture that utilizes microservices hosted in the cloud. This type of architecture can support all different types of clients including web, mobile and IoT.

During this hands-on workshop, you will build a serverless application utilizing AWS services such as Lambda, API Gateway, S3 and a datastore.

Docker for Devs Workshop

Docker and containers are getting a lot of attention these days but what do they mean for devs? How do they fit into DevOps and continuous delivery movements? Where do these tools fit into cloud computing? During this hands-on session we will learn how to install and configure Docker, build images and run containers in a local development environment. We will also explore using them in a continuous deployment environment by deploying them on premise as well as in the cloud, using services such as AWS.
