API management continues to get more complex as the number of APIs explodes. Organizations require an effortless solution to guarantee secure, reliable and efficient connections of services across all types of environments. In light of the present economic challenges, doubling down on modernization efforts combined with smart investment in areas with a proven track record of boosting productivity and efficiency are more important than ever.

In this workshop, Div Shekhar, Partner Solutions Architect at AWS, Claudio Acquaviva, Software Architect at Kong, and Mark Sivill, Senior Solutions Engineer at Kong, will demonstrate the ways Konnect can help your organization adopt a federated API management model throughout their life cycle and show how the API gateway pattern can be used for modernization with Kong.

Register today to learn how to:

• Decentralize Applications and Services: Break down monoliths into services or build new applications with distributed architectures to accelerate your journey to microservices, Kubernetes and service mesh.
• Govern and Secure APIs and Services: Provide consistent security, governance and compliance across APIs and services.
• Create a Developer Platform: Provide an internal developer platform built for distributed architectures.
• Offload critical and complex processing out of services and microservices.

Attendees will follow the AWS Setup, Kong Konnect, Kong Konnect Service Hub, Kong Konnect Runtime Manager, Kong Plugins and Monitoring.

*This Hands-On workshop requires a free trial subscription to Kong Konnect Plus and an AWS account with IAM user/identity that has proper permissions to set up the necessary AWS components as well as introductory knowledge of Kubernetes. The facilitators will provide temporary AWS accounts to the first 100 attendees for the duration of the workshop so that attendees can get hands-on.
