Cloud infrastructure has fueled innovation for nearly two decades—yet cost control remains a challenge. Unforeseen expenses and complicated billing can hamper agility, forcing teams to overspend just to stay competitive.What if you could evaluate costs in real-time, identify inefficiencies, and optimize deployments—without slowing development? Imagine adjusting parameters based on on-the-fly estimates and usage.In this presentation, Malcolm Matalka, Co-founder and CTO of Terrateam, explores how OpenInfraQuote, a new open-source command-line tool, transforms Terraform and OpenTofu code into actionable cost insights. Learn how to automate price checks, compare scenarios, and avoid financial surprises—alongside how it differs from other solutions and how to integrate it into your workflow.Resources- GitHub: https://github.com/terrateamio/openinfraquote- Documentation: https://openinfraquote.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Recreating the unique state of a cloud app environment is notoriously complex, making it difficult to diagnose bugs, collaborate with teammates, or even just pick up where you left off. Join us as we deep dive into LocalStack’s powerful state management and persistence features, exploring how to maintain, snapshot, and seamlessly share your local cloud environments using core features like persistence, Cloud Pods, and state files. Learn how to restore a previous state, share preconfigured environments with colleagues for collaboration or onboarding, or restore preset services and data for functional tests in CI. We'll also showcase LocalStack's new Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, revealing how AI can manage, inspect, and automate your local cloud state.

An agent will write you a CDK stack, a Terraform module, or a stack of IAM policies in seconds.
Whether any of it works is a separate question, and the usual way to find out is to deploy to a real AWS account and watch what breaks.
In an agentic workflow, that means giving AI access to a public cloud account, racking up costs on the AWS bill, and waiting for provisioning to complete every time you push new code to the environment.

The rise of agentic AI in the software delivery lifecycle creates a dilemma with high-stakes implications.
As agents create new applications at an unprecedented rate, how do you integrate security without slowing down delivery?
