Unlock the full potential of AWS with an Action-packed session designed to elevate your cloud deployment strategies. Presented by Juan David Sánchez, DevOps engineer from Automat-it, this event will focus on how to deploy safely and efficiently on AWS while leveraging powerful GitHub Actions tools. As a leader in automating DevOps processes, Automat-it empowers teams to optimize their workflows and maximize the security and reliability of their AWS environments.

We’ll start by exploring environment protections on AWS, including how to leverage OpenID Connect (OIDC) to securely connect your GitHub workflows with AWS, using IAM roles with the principle of least privilege and short-lived credentials. Learn how to safeguard your environments by granting only minimal permissions, reducing the attack surface while maintaining operational efficiency.

Next, we’ll shift focus to best practices for avoiding costly mistakes in your codebase by integrating tools like CodeQL, Dependabot, and GitHub Apps—essential for detecting vulnerabilities, keeping dependencies updated and operating with multiple repositories.

Our demos will showcase AWS-optimized solutions, including a custom javascript GitHub Action that enforces global timeouts for workflows across your organization, preventing unnecessary resource usage on both GitHub and AWS self-hosted runners.

Finally, we’ll present an exciting demonstration of self-hosted CodeBuild runners with VPC private access. Enabling fast and secure builds while ensuring that all traffic remains private within your VPC.

Whether you’re a DevOps engineer, a cloud enthusiast, or simply someone looking to refine your deployment strategies, this session is packed with actionable insights you can immediately apply.
