Hands-On Lab:
This workshop introduces the fundamentals of Platform Engineering and shows how platform teams can enable developers through self-service capabilities and standardized workflows on AWS. The lab environment follows a Hub-and-Spoke architecture, where a centralized hub account provides shared services such as networking, security, and governance, while isolated spoke accounts host the individual workloads and development environments.

Talks + Speaker:

Talk 1:
AI on EKS – Running AI Workloads on Kubernetes
In this talk, Kevin Nash, Senior Solutions Architect at AWS, introduces AI on EKS, an open-source project from AWS Labs that helps teams deploy and run AI/ML workloads on Amazon EKS using ready-to-use infrastructure blueprints and best practices for scalable AI platforms. The session will give an overview of how platform teams can simplify the deployment, scaling, and operation of AI workloads on Kubernetes.

Lightning Talk 2:
Building Modern Insurance Platforms
In this lightning talk, Michael Ammann, CTO at simpego, shares how simpego is building modern digital insurance solutions powered by data, automation, and AI/ML. He will give a brief look into how the company uses analytics, telematics, and modern cloud technologies to drive pricing, automation, and scalable insurance services. Michael leads pricing, analytics, and automation initiatives at simpego, focusing on data-driven insurance products and intelligent platform capabilities.

Talk 3:
How to Structure Unstructured Data
In this talk, Simon Sommer, Cloud Software Engineer at copebit ag, explores practical approaches to turning unstructured data into usable and structured information.
