Hands-on-Day "Optimize AWS Environment" Sydney #1

Hands-on-Days Roadshow in Sydney & Melbourne
“Optimise your AWS Environment”

PolarSeven, in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and GorillaStack, would like to invite you to learn about Optimising your AWS Environment at one of our Free National AWS Hands-On-Days. (See city times and locations below)

These practical days feature the AWS Well-Architected Framework. This framework introduces various tools and techniques that you can use to professionally optimise your AWS environment and applications in terms of cost, security, scaling, agility, and monitoring.

We’ll cover the extensive theory of the Well-Architected Framework AND provide the opportunity to put it into practice by optimising an account for your application on AWS.

Our partner, GorillaStack, will join us as we focus on automating resource management and clean-up. Learn the tips and tricks to resource automation, optimise your AWS accounts and deliver business savings of 20%-60%.

We will cover four different labs, all building on the agile quick-start solutions that use automated processes to configure various AWS services. These will create environments that are:

1. Highly Secure
2. Efficient
3. Reliable
4. Operational excellence
5. Cost Optimised

Do you have ever-escalating AWS invoices? Want to slash AWS costs by 30-50%? Are you unsure about the security of an AWS account that has grown organically? Do you use AWS keys or secrets? Is your environment not built in code and fully agile? Can you deploy new application code in a matter of minutes? Come to one of our events and get effective, practical solutions to these questions.
