What we’re about
Welcome to the AWS Canberra User Group! We are striving to create a community of AWS users that can come together and share their experiences and learn from others in the group. We discuss how people are using AWS and love hearing from people about what they like and don't like about the platform, and would love for anyone who is interested in AWS and cloud computing to come and join us!
