AWS Summit Zurich 2025

Last Thursday I could go to the AWS Summit Zurich 2025 edition. So it’s time to do a little recap of what I could see and what was presented during the event.

Amid the infinite sessions about AI, I could also find some on other topics. I started my journey with a session on security best practices.

Then came the keynote, where I could see a demo of an automated delivery robot shaped like a dog that can climb stairs. During the keynote, it was announced that Oracle Exadata would be available in the Zurich region starting 2026.

Among the other sessions I attended, I can spotlight one on the IAM service, where the speakers deep-dived into how to manage the service more accurately.

I also attended a session addressing the Sovereignty topic where we were explained the impact of the CLOUD act and the data protection subject.

I also went to a network focused presentation, the speaker showed us the new features of AWS Cloud WAN and how it works as a backbone network for hybrid solutions. The biggest news was that now we can connect AWS Direct Connections directly to AWS Cloud WAN without the need of a transit gateway.

They also introduced to us VPC Lattice, a fully managed application networking service that you use to connect, secure, and monitor the services and resources for your application.

Finally, I followed a session on cloud cost optimization. We were presented some dashboards that we can use to optimize our cloud costs.

That’s it for this year. Yet another summit where I’m able to learn new stuff. I hope I can go again next year and still learn new skills.
