As Public Sector development teams transition to cloud-based architectures and adopt more agile processes, the tools they need to support their development cycles will change. In this session, we'll take you through the transition that Amazon made to a service-oriented architecture over a decade ago. We will share the lessons we learned, the processes we adopted, and the tools we built to increase both our agility and reliability. We will also introduce you to the AWS Code family services which were born out of Amazon's internal DevOps experience and are utilised by many Public Sector customers globally. Mario Vlachakis, Solutions Architect, AWS

Things went much
better under this
model and teams
were releasing faster
than ever, but we felt
that we could still
improve.

Key points
• Automation is your friend. It reduces human error, improves
quality and speeds up processes.
• Collaboration builds better products. Silos increase complexity,
and slow things down.
• This doesn’t mean you can’t have governance! Flexible
processes can help teams deliver quickly and consistently.
