Six Feet Up is proud to be a Bronze Sponsor at AWS Community Day Midwest this year. Our team will also be on stage with two talks focused on IAM security and cloud governance using Cloud Custodian.
Calvin Hendryx-Parker, AWS Hero and Six Feet Up CTO
Missing MFA, dormant identities, and overly broad permissions pile up silently until a failed audit or a 2am incident forces the issue. Calvin will walk through a proven maturity model for using Cloud Custodian to detect high-risk IAM artifacts, automate owner notifications, and apply staged remediation across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Write your compliance guardrails once and run them everywhere.
Jeff Licquia, Senior Software Engineer at Six Feet Up
Surprise AWS bills and misconfigured resources are governance problems. Cloud Custodian is an open source, Python-based tool that lets you write YAML policies to catch issues in real time, run compliance scans on a schedule, and automatically shut down nonessential services to cut costs. You will leave with practical examples and a clear plan to automate governance without vendor lock-in.
AWS Community Day Midwest is an annual, community-driven AWS technical conference organized and delivered entirely by AWS user group leaders across the Midwest.
