The document outlines five ways to utilize AWS with Alfresco, focusing on quick starts for content and process services, Kubernetes management, serverless extensions, online trials, and gathering statistical data. It discusses the benefits, features, and examples of AWS Quick Starts for Alfresco services, as well as the importance of serverless solutions and event-driven architectures. Additional suggestions for improving ingestions through audio and video analysis, along with various resources and links, are provided for further exploration.

Editor's Notes
- #19: Using same representation as previous slide; green cube is a container, blue circle is a pod, orange square is a helm chart Helm is a packaging technology allowing multiple “kinds” of things to be deployed at once, plus allows dependencies Simplified version of 0.1 DBP helm chart hierarchy
- #28: Re-iterate what we covered in the demo. Shows the end-to-end DBP->AWS->DBP
