It's turtles all the way down

Room: Zaal 9 | Time: 09:00 | Duration: 90

Modularity might be the single most important concept in software design. But it goes way beyond software: modularity is a key concept in business, organizations, and even people. In this talk we will travel down many levels of modularity – from enterprises all the way to software methods. We will discuss interfaces, implementations, and the trade-offs of modularity. By the end of the talk, you will have a clear framework to consider modularity in all your systems.

Your AWS root credential set

Room: Zaal 9 | Time: 11:00 | Duration: 30

Is it secret? Is it safe? Managing the one credential set to rule them all comes with a considerable amount of effort. Even worse, AWS provides APIs to effectively privilege escalate a normal AWS admin role/user to root. What paths can a hacker take to completely takeover your AWS account, or even organization, and what mechanisms can you implement to combat this?

Using IAM Roles Anywhere for free

Room: Zaal 9 | Time: 11:30 | Duration: 30

IAM Roles Anywhere is a great way to get temporary security credentials on on-premises, or mulit-cloud or edge devices. However the complexity of managing your own PKI or the cost of using an AWS Private CA might have stopped you from seriously considering it. In this session we will look at how IAM Roles anywhere works and why that means we can use low-cost solutions like a yubikey for authentication. Just for fun we’ll even use a Belgian Identity Card to access our AWS Account.

Cloudflare + AWS: Advanced Integration Patterns & Production Pitfalls

Room: Zaal 9 | Time: 14:00 | Duration: 30

Learn how to integrate Cloudflare with AWS workloads through practical examples. We’ll cover Cloudflare fundamentals, edge caching, and analytics dashboards. Explore Zero Trust components including Access, Gateway, and Tunnels for private ALB access. See Terraform automation for managing Cloudflare rules and policies, plus API protection with WAF and rate limiting. We’ll discuss R2 object storage integration and cost optimization strategies for AWS workloads.

Breaking the Security vs. Speed Trade-off with AWS Config

Room: Zaal 9 | Time: 15:00 | Duration: 60

Getting AWS Platforms just right is hard. You want to set tight permission policies, but developers still need to be able to do their job. You want to have an environment that is both secure and reliable, ensuring compliance while also giving developers the freedom to experiment and innovate. AWS Config is often the missing puzzle piece to solve this paradox. In this talk, I will demonstrate you can create synergy between providing Infrastructure as Code templates to support your developers, granting the right amount of permissions to enable them to do their job, and finally utilizing AWS Config to ensure everything remains within security constraints.

Real-time Pattern Detection and Event Processing: Bridging Apache Flink with Serverless on AWS

Room: Zaal 9 | Time: 16:00 | Duration: 30

In today’s data-driven world, organizations need to process and react to streaming data in real-time while maintaining cost-effectiveness and scalability. This talk demonstrates how to leverage Apache Flink’s powerful stream processing capabilities alongside AWS serverless technologies to build a robust, scalable, and cost-efficient event processing pipeline. In this talk, I will delve into what CEP (Complex Event Processing) is and how a CEP layer such as Apache Flink works internally at a high level.
