  Building Multiple Splunk Apps with AWS

  Jul, 2023 | Las Vegas, NV

  Building Splunk extensions can sometimes be laborious. And when it comes to automatic building, testing, and validation of the Splunk extensions, downright time-consuming and frustrating. In this session, I will cover how we use Amazon Web Services (AWS) pipelines to build, test, and communicate multiple extensions with multiple clients. It is event-driven and supports Service Catalog's quick on-boarding of new apps, as well as extension building, testing, validation, and distribution.
