What did I learn at AWS Summit?
After attending keynote session, I have attended few talks on migration track and security track. I have also attended AWS Deep Racer Kick start talk By Rahul Kulkarni. I have visited few booths of VMWare, Redhat, Datadog, Redis, MongoDB etc. I have also visited certificate lounge and connected with few certified professions and talked with them about their journey and use cases with AWS Cloud.
I have sorted out few of my queries for different AWS services, talking with AWS specialists. I also got a chance to meet AWS Community Heroes (Jeevan Dongre, Bhuvaneswari Subramani, Prashanth HN, Sathya, Gaurav Kamboj) from India, it’s always a pleasant and an inspirational meeting with these guys.
