HashiCorp at AWS re:Invent: Breakout Sessions Featuring HashiCorp Products

AWS and HashiCorp have worked together closely for many years on multiple fronts, especially product engineering. As we have done in past years, HashiCorp will announce launch-day support for several new AWS services being unveiled at this week’s re:Invent conference. If you’re attending re:Invent, we have a list of sessions covering HashiCorp topics below as well as information about how we’re involved in other areas of the conference.

»Find our booth

HashiCorp is a gold sponsor of this year’s AWS re:Invent. At our booth on the expo floor (Booth #2434) we’ll have experts to explain how each of our products integrate with AWS services and can help facilitate application deployments and infrastructure in the cloud.

Visit our booth down the main aisle of the expo floor, across from the AWS booth.

»Twitch.tv livestream with Mitchell Hashimoto

Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 5 p.m. PST, tune in to Twitch.tv, which will be live streaming from the MGM Grand. HashiCorp Co-founder and CTO Mitchell Hashimoto will join the AWS team to talk about all things HashiCorp, including a quick overview of Consul.

»AWS GameDay

AWS GameDay is an interactive team-based learning exercise designed to give players a chance to put their AWS skills to the test in a real-world, gamified, risk-free environment. At AWS GameDay, participants will be able to experience an AWS-driven self-service workshop using AWS to build a deployment of a Vault cluster (with a chance to use Terraform too).

»Breakout sessions covering HashiCorp topics

HashiCorp is a key partner for many enterprises that are using or migrating to AWS. Whether organizations become fully cloud-native, or maintain a hybrid infrastructure with cloud and on-premises resources, HashiCorp products will support those heterogeneous environments.

At re:Invent, there will be several breakout sessions and floor presentations discussing how HashiCorp Terraform, Vault, Consul, Packer, and more work with AWS services. Here are the breakout sessions:

• Monday, Dec. 2 - CMP208-S - Achieving unparalleled elasticity on AWS at the lowest cost - Join the VP of technical sales at Densify to learn how one line of code in HashiCorp Terraform can unlock workload elasticity by precisely and automatically aligning your application demands with the right AWS resources.

• Monday, Dec. 2 - DOP205-S - Amplifying CI/CD helped Wag! reduce release process by 600% - Hear the story of how Wag Labs built a single pane of glass for their DevOps processes with HashiCorp Terraform and GitLab running on top of AWS—cutting its release process time from 40 minutes down to 6.

• Monday, Dec. 2 - GPSTEC410 - GitOps compliance on AWS: Enforcing immutable infrastructure - In this chalk talk, see an example of how to enforce immutable infrastructure using AWS Config rules, HashiCorp Terraform and Packer, and AWS CloudFormation with insights in AWS Security Hub.

• Monday, Dec. 2, 1:00 PM - CON420-R - Infrastructure as code for containers - Learn how to use the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK), AWS CloudFormation, and HashiCorp Terraform to set up containers in Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS).

• Thursday, Dec. 5, 12:15 PM - NFX205 - Monitoring anomalous application behavior - In this talk, Travis McPeak of Netflix and Will Bengtson of HashiCorp introduce a system built strictly with off-the-shelf AWS components that tracks AWS CloudTrail activity across multi-account environments and sends alerts when applications perform anomalous actions.

Partner booth/show floor/theater speaking slots

Throughout the conference, HashiCorp technical experts and engineers will be speaking at the following HashiCorp partner booths:

• Cognizant - Reducing complexity when moving to the Cloud
• PagerDuty - Consistent Workflows that Enable Digital Operational Excellence
