UW AWS community,
Reminder that we will have an inaugural AWS users group meeting
tomorrow, Monday November 7th, 3 pm – 4:30 pm in EE 303.
The goal is to establish a self-sustaining community to discuss AWS
applications at UW for research, teaching, and enterprise and to
introduce AWS resources available, including UW’s account team from Amazon.
Thanks to all who have sent in case studies. If you have a project
you’d be willing to informally share, send me a note or just come
prepared to discuss it. No need to prepare slides.
If you have technical questions you’d like reps from Amazon to
specifically speak to, send me a note.
Agenda:
— Introduce campus resources for AWS (eScience)
— AWS case studies at UW
— Technical Q&A. Mark Korver, AWS Solutions Architect and a key
contact at Amazon for UW, will be present to answer questions.
— Logistics and agenda for next meeting
All are welcome — please forward to anyone that might be interested.
