🎉 Join us for the AWS User Group Meetup on 30 April! 🎉

As usual, we’re back on the last Wednesday of the month. Hopefully everyone will be rested after several public holidays, and you’re all happy to join us for a great time!

Speaker change!

At her request, we’ve rescheduled Lovee’s talk to next month and instead we’ll have Hazra’s talk at this meetup.

We have two talks lined up for this month, first up is Hazra Ali who will be talking about Business Analysis and the role of AI in there. Second up is Joe Sustaric, who will take us through the process of building a git server in AWS with CDK. And of course we also have our regular sections, covering what’s going on in the community and what new. goodies AWS has brought us in the past month.

As a reminder, we will start with the food and socialising at 6 pm, but the actual contents of the meetup (and live stream) will begin at 6:30.

Our thanks to Mantel Group for their continued sponsorship.

See below for the full agenda. The event will be streamed on YouTube as always.

Agenda

Key Aspects of Business Analysis

• Hazra Ali

Level 100

Presentation on the concept of Business Analysis and its role in enhancing software development efficiency. This will cover various knowledge areas of business analysis and how they are interconnected. Functional and non functional requirements are vital in Business Analysis.

By integrating AI for data analysis and Emotional Intelligence for effective communication and stakeholder management, Business Analysis can streamline software development processes, fostering successful project outcomes.

Build a Git Server in AWS with CDK

• Joe Sustaric

Level 200

What if your code version control tool didn’t accept branches (other than the default main). Taking away the choice of weather you should do trunk based development or not. Most of the tools and SaSS products focus a lot around PRs and branches.

How would you build this? What does the MVP look like?

In this talk I will demonstrate a MVP deployment running your own Git Server that rejects branch pushes.

From scratch I will demo AWS CDK code that will create several stack deployments.

The live demo (!) will include provisioning everything from VPC to the git server EC2s to a backup policy for the shared volume. Also showing how I used checkov to ensure infra secure config to ensure that there are no obvious holes in configuration.

We are always looking for speakers and believe everyone has an interesting talk hiding inside themselves. If you are interested in letting that talk out at a future event you can get in touch at the meetup, on the website (https://melb.awsug.org.au/speak/), or reach out to one of the organisers on our Slack.
