AWS Like an RPG: Choosing Equipment and Planning an Expedition in the Cloud

An epic adventure requires proper preparation—whether in a fantasy RPG world or in real-world cloud-based projects on AWS. To succeed, you must assemble a team, plan your journey, and choose the right equipment—because just as one sword won't defeat every enemy, a single set of AWS services won't fit all projects.

In this talk, we will embark on a journey that compares building projects in AWS to a classic RPG game. We'll explore the principles of the Well-Architected Framework, which, like a team guide, helps make the right architectural decisions. We'll discuss how to select AWS services that match the specific challenges of a project and how to prepare for unexpected obstacles along the way.
