πŸ“‹ About the Talk

πŸ’‘ What happens when we put Amazon Q to solve real problems in messy environments?

In this presentation, I demonstrate in practice how Amazon Q behaves when confronted with reality: broken pipelines, misconfigured settings, and security risks. With humor, live demos, and real-world lessons, we explore the limits and possibilities of AI in real-world DevSecOps scenarios.

Topics Covered:

  • 🎭 Real-World Chaos: Broken pipelines and misconfigured settings we encounter daily
  • πŸ€– Amazon Q in Action: Testing AI against real DevSecOps problems
  • πŸ” Security Fails: How AI identifies (or doesn’t) vulnerabilities in messy code
  • βš™οΈ Live Demos: Real scenarios with unexpected results
  • πŸ˜… Lessons Learned with Humor: What went right, what went wrong, and what we learned
  • 🎯 Reality vs. Expectations: When to use (and when not to use) AI in DevSecOps

🎯 Target Audience

This talk is ideal for:

  • DevOps Engineers, Security Engineers, Developers
  • Technology students
