Orchestrating from Zero: Building a Scalable Loss Prevention Platform with Amazon EKS Auto Mode.

Modernizing enterprise systems often brings the challenge of scaling efficiently while starting with little to no Kubernetes expertise. This session shares how Foodstuffs South Island, in collaboration with AWS Support and trusted technology partners, built a scalable, cost-efficient, and resilient Loss Prevention platform using Amazon EKS Auto Mode – starting from zero EKS experience. By moving from a legacy Windows EC2 solution to a Linux and .NET containerized architecture with full automation through IaC and CI/CD, the team simplified operations and improved reliability. Learn how managed Kubernetes, automation, and close AWS collaboration enabled faster modernization while maintaining compliance, resilience, and cost control.

Beers with Engineers is about bringing together a community of technical minded people to network, share knowledge, learn, and have fun. The presentation will be followed by plenty of time for Q&A, networking and refreshments. Food and drink (including non-alcoholic options) will be provided.
