In October I presented at the AWS Pop-up Hub in Warsaw, Poland. The Pop-up Hubs are places where developers and IT professionals can attend educational sessions, meet AWS experts and get in-person answers to their technical questions.
I delivered two sessions during the event. The first one was a presentation on Advanced Amazon VPC design and new capabilities, where I walked through the latest networking features such as IPv6-only subnets, NAT64 and DNS64 for interoperability with IPv4 environments, resource-based instance naming and how all of these fit together in a modern VPC design. It was great to see so many people interested in the networking side of AWS!
The second session was a hands-on workshop on Amazon Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS), where participants got to set up and test disaster recovery scenarios. DRS helps minimize downtime and data loss with fast, reliable recovery of on-premises and cloud-based applications.
I really enjoyed visiting Warsaw and meeting the local tech community. Poland has a vibrant cloud ecosystem and it was great to connect with so many passionate engineers.
