Frederique

Hi there! I’m Frederique, I work for Conclusion Xforce as a consultant for AWS and Kubernetes. I’m also the Technical Coach for our public cloud (AWS + Azure) focus group. I love to share my knowledge via presentations and blogs.

Presentations

Once a year I’m one of the presenters of a presentation about new developments in AWS, based on AWS re:Invent. Last year I also gave a presentation about the presentations we saw on KubeCon 2025 in London.

For more information about the presentations that Conclusion Xforce is about to give, see our meetup page.

Blogs

I wrote a few blogs on this site already, and there is more to come! Read for example the blogs about:

• Kubecon 2026 relived
• The European Sovereign Cloud, more complex than it seems?
• AWS Nuke with AWS Step Functions,
• ArgoCD SSO based on AWS Cognito Userpools
• Azure monitor alerts to Dynatrace.

In the past I also wrote blogs for Conclusion AMIS.
