Welcome to the next 2026 AWS Sydney Well-Architected Meetup!

Hi Architects, Welcome to the next 2026 AWS Sydney Well-Architected User Group Meetup! Each month we cover off AWS best-practices across all pillars and give away drones - lots of drones 🥳 **Please also note that AWS Security now requests a company name and company email where it is available. If you are a student, please list your institution and your student email address at that institution 👍** We’ll be updating throughout the month with more speakers - our speakers so far this month include: * **Michael Wasielewski Jr., Founder Generative Security, ex-AWS** **If IT is cyclical, why do we keep making the same security mistakes?** AWS first published the Well-Architected Framework in 2015, and the Gen AI Lens in 2025. But when you look at the lessons on the ground, there are some key lessons that got lost over those 10 years. Let's dive into 3 lessons buried in the well-architected documents and see how we can use security to accelerate gen AI adoption safely. * **Mystery Speaker** **Well-Architecting AWS Marketplace** In this talk we will dive deep into the good, the bad and the ugly of AWS Marketplace, how to maximise traction and minimise the gotchas. This month's menu will include: * Pizzas * Beer: Nastro Azzurro * Wine: Big and red 🤤 So come join us at 5:30 for a 6pm **SHARP** start, followed by beer, wine, pizza and friendly networking after our talks :-) (Please note that by registering to attend you agree to your details being shared as and where required with Amazon Web Services and AWS Well-Architected User Group partners)

AI Project Hub

Welcome to **WSTI's AI Project Hub**—the hands-on heart of the WSTI community's AI Shed model. This isn't a traditional class or a lecture. It’s a weekly, drop-in "Shed" designed for collaborative, project-based learning, where we support each other turning ideas (beginner or ambitious) into real, working prototypes and projects. Whether you're a founder with a specific problem, a developer testing a new tool, or a complete beginner curious about what you can make, this is your space to build, learn, and collaborate. **What to expect:** * **Quick Pitch:** To spark some inspiration, we’ll have a few informal, low-pressure "progress check-ins" where attendees can briefly share what they’re working on. * **Space to Build:** No formal lectures here. Just a supportive environment to polish your prototype, refine your code, or finalise your pitch. * **Guides on the Side:** Our technical mentors will be mingling in the room. They’re ready to offer a helpful nudge, architectural advice, or a tool recommendation if you hit a roadblock. * **Community Wisdom:** If our mentors don’t have the answer, they’ll connect you with someone else in the room who does. We’re all about sharing what we learn. * **Curiosity is Welcome:** You don’t need a hackathon project to pull up a chair. If you’re a regular from our Project Hub looking to share your knowledge, or just a curious neighbour. We have community laptops with access to some AI tools if you aren't able to bring your own. **Tools/Topics discussed may include:** * ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Opensource AI Models. * Platforms like n8n and other automation tools. * Coding vibe coding like Lovable, Replit, Antigravity and Cursor. * Frameworks such as BMAD. * Image and video generators like Midjourney, Nanobanana and Video models such as Kling, Veo & Seedance. *By attending this event, you consent that you may be photographed and recorded on video. These photos and videos may be used for marketing and promotional purposes in the future. If you have any concerns please let the team know upon arrival.*

Vivid Photo Walk - Circular Quay & The Rocks

This photo walk will visit some of the light installations on display during the Vivid festival. Starting at Customs House in Circular Quay and making our way to the MCA and Overseas Passenger Terminal and the Rocks. We anticipate that it will be fairly busy around the area, and to allow enough time to see & photograph the lights, we may not be covering all installations in these areas on the night. This is a fairly easy walk with lots of stops along the way. We are limiting this walk to only 10 members as it is too difficult to keep a large group together at such a busy event. **DURATION:** Approx 3 hours (up to you when you want to leave) **EQUIPMENT:** Camera, lenses (wide/zoom lens e.g.18-70mm). A tripod and camera remote/cable release are essential for this event. A lot of patience is needed for this event, as there are a lot of photographers and the general public at each of the displays, all of whom have their own agenda. **PERSONAL:** Comfortable walking shoes, water, umbrella/wet weather jacket (if the weather looks bad). **GETTING THERE:** BY BUS: Take a bus to the Circular Quay Station. Customs House is right opposite. We'll meet on the corner of Alfred & Young Streets. Across the street from Customs House to avoid the crowds.

Rather than dismissing it as an ancient relic in this new world of LLM’s and AI agents, let’s explore how we can put django’s advantages to good use and how it still lives up to its title of “the web framework for perfectionists with deadlines” **Pasha Sviderski – Uncloud + Django** https://uncloud.run lets you deploy with the simplicity of Heroku or Fly.io while keeping full control over your infrastructure.

📸 PHOTO WALK: Sydney framed

**Framing is the art of using elements within a scene—archways, foliage, or window panes—to create a "frame within a frame." It draws the eye to your subject and adds depth to the composition.** Expect a high-contrast journey through Chippendale, where the brutalist steel of modern towers meets the vintage brick textures of Sydney’s industrial past. Walk, shoot, and connect with photographers & creators as we explore the hidden "back-lane" galleries of **Sydney**. Beginners, enthusiasts, and pros — all are welcome. –––––––––– **EVENT DETAILS** **Location:** Central Park → Chippendale Alleys → Redfern **Date:** 30.05.2026 **Time:** 15:00 – 17:30 **Meeting Point:** **[Starbucks, Central Park Mall.](https://maps.app.goo.gl/uRRDP4SHYPqzvHmo7)** **Address:** 28 Broadway, Chippendale NSW 2008. We’ll meet at the outdoor plaza right in front of the main mall entrance, underneath the "hanging gardens." –––––––––– **EVENT FLOW** **15:00** \| Meet & Connect We’ll gather at the plaza, introduce the "Framing" theme, and use the geometric glass shadows of the mall for our first exercise. **15:15** \| Main Walk Navigating the narrow "Kensington Street" corridor and the ivy-covered warehouse walls of Chippendale during the best afternoon light. **17:30** → Optional social hour at a local brewery or a hidden small bar in Redfern as the city lights come on. –––––––––– **IMPORTANT** This isn’t a class. It’s not a tour. It’s a creative meetup. We’ll walk. We’ll shoot. We’ll connect. –––––––––– **WHAT TO EXPECT** Bring your: • Film camera • Digital camera • Smartphone • Curiosity Whether you're a beginner, seasoned photographer, content creator, or just creatively curious — you’re welcome here.
