On the programme

Two expert-track sessions

2025 · Qawra

From MacBook to Bedrock, on building OTTO with InstructLab and Amazon Bedrock. And Automating AWS Account Setup with Backstage, on the self-service provisioning system we built with a GitHub template.

The services doing the work

Read off the slides, not guessed. Each card says what that service did in this build, and links to the page explaining the capability and how to run it somewhere else.

Backstage

The CNCF developer portal at the centre of the talk: one template turns an AWS account request into a provisioned account, instead of a service desk acting as a firewall.

Red Hat OpenShift

The platform the portal runs on in this setup.

AWS IAM

Account provisioning and the guardrails that come with it, applied the same way every time.
