For [this year’s event](/cloud-engineering-summit), we’re equally thrilled to have an amazing group of sponsors participating in the summit and it’s worth a quick ‘guided tour’ of the teams that are helping us to pull off this amazing event. Watch the replay → ## Amazon Web Services AWS was an inaugural sponsor for the Cloud Engineering Summit with a talk from Alex Head about [cost optimization](/resources/creating-a-cost-aware-culture-aws/). The AWS team returns again this year with four sessions: Emily Freeman will talk about _Rethinking the SDLC_, Rahul Sharma will share his team’s experience building the brand new [Cloud Control API](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/announcing-aws-cloud-control-api) in _[How AWS architects APIs for hyper-scale](/resources/how-aws-architects-apis-for-hyper-scale/)_, and Jenna Pederson will show you how to _[Bringing software development practices to your infrastructure](/resources/bringing-software-development-practices-to-your-infrastructure/)_. Finally, Ken Exner will be chatting with Joe Duffy about the [future of tooling for modern cloud infrastructure](/resources/developer-first-infrastructure/). We’ll cap off the summit in a free, post-event workshop with Marina Novikova and Laura Santamaria showing you [how to get started on AWS](/resources/getting-started-with-aws/). ## Apple New to the Cloud Engineering Summit this year, cloud services experts Fariba Khan and Stephen Van Gordon will share their experiences managing infrastructure at scale in _[Lifecycle of a Pulumi Program](/resources/lifecycle-of-a-pulumi-program/)_. They’ll talk about building a custom state backend, using CI/CD tooling, and the Pulumi Automation API to empower teams to provision secure-by-default configurations automatically. ## Google Cloud Last year we hosted a fantastic talk from Jason (Jay) Smith who showed attendees [how to stand up a serverless platform](/resources/standing-up-a-serverless-platform/). This year, we’re proud to include Google Cloud as a sponsor and feature a keynote from [Kelsey Hightower with Joe Duffy](/resources/kelsey-hightower-joe-duffy-fireside-chat/). After the summit, you can also join Kat Cosgrove for free hands-on training showing you [how to get started with Google Cloud](/resources/getting-started-with-google-cloud-platform/). ## Microsoft The 2020 Cloud Engineering Summit featured Amanda Silver in a [Future of Cloud Engineering panel](/resources/getting-started-with-google-cloud-platform/) and Adora Nwodo showed everyone [how to manage apps and infrastructure in a single CI/CD pipeline](/resources/managing-your-cloud-application-and-infrastructure-deployment-in-one-pipeline). Adora will return to the summit again this year to talk about _[Software engineering in infrastructure engineering](/resources/software-engineering-in-infrastructure-engineering/)_. For those looking to expand their cloud engineering skillset after the summit, Matt Stratton will host a workshop to show attendees [how to get started with Azure](/resources/getting-started-with-azure-native/). ## NGINX We’ve spent a lot of time with the NGINX team over the past year in their quest to make it easier than ever to get to production with Kubernetes. Join first-time summit speakers Damian Curry and Elijah Zupancic for a lightning talk followed by NGINX office hours to learn about _[Building a modern app reference architecture for Kubernetes](/resources/building-a-modern-app-reference-architecture-for-kubernetes/)_. Then, if you’re ready for some hands-on Kubernetes help, join our post-event workshop [From Zero to Production in Kubernetes](/resources/from-zero-to-production-in-kubernetes/). ## Bridgecrew New to the summit this year, Bridgecrew’s Steve Giguere is joining the Build track to share _[Taking a Kubernetes Deployment from Default to Secure](/resources/taking-a-k8s-deployment-from-default-to-secure/)_. ## CircleCI Long-time collaborator Angel Rivera from [CircleCI](https://circleci.com/) joins the Deploy track to talk about _[Building Arm Compatible CI/CD Pipelines](/resources/building-arm-compatible-cicd-pipelines)_ and show you how to take advantage of Arm architectures in both your pipelines and workloads. ## GitHub The GitHub team participated in three sessions last year including the [Architectures and Platforms](/resources/the-future-of-cloud-engineering-architectures-and-platforms/) and [Security and Policy](/resources/the-future-of-cloud-engineering-security-and-policy/) panels. This year, the team returns with Rizel Bobb-Semple delivering a plenary session showing you how to get _[From Code to Cloud](/resources/from-code-to-cloud/)_ without learning new tools. ## Honeycomb If you missed Charity Major’s summit session last year about [Testing In Production](/resources/testing-in-production/), stop reading and go watch it. Then, register for Liz Fong-Jones’s Build track session this year: _[What is OpenTelemetry](/resources/what-is-opentelemetry/)_. ## NS1 Last year, Johnathan Sullivan joined the [Culture, Process, and Tools](/resources/the-future-of-cloud-engineering-culture-process-tools/) panel, and we’re excited to welcome Chris Buijs to this year’s Deploy panel. ## ...and many more Beyond the teams and sessions mentioned above, the Cloud Engineering Summit wouldn’t be possible without help and support from a long list of sponsors and collaborators including Codefresh, Split, and Uffizzi.
