BDA206: Building Big Data Applications with the AWS Big Data Platform Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Building big data applications often requires integrating a broad set of technologies to store, process, and analyze the increasing variety, velocity, and volume of data being collected by many organizations. In this session, we show how you can build entire big data applications using a core set of managed services including Amazon S3, Amazon Kinesis, Amazon EMR, Amazon Elasticsearch Service, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon QuickSight.

BDM204: Visualizing Big Data Insights with Amazon QuickSight Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Amazon QuickSight is a fast BI service that makes it easy for you to build visualizations, perform ad-hoc analysis, and quickly get business insights from your data. QuickSight is built to harness the power and scalability of the cloud, so you can easily run analysis on large datasets, and support hundreds of thousands of users. In this session, we’ll demonstrate how you can easily get started with Amazon QuickSight, uploading files, connecting to S3 and Redshift and creating analyses from visualizations that are optimized based on the underlying data. Once we’ve built our analysis and dashboard, we’ll show you easy it is to share it with colleagues and stakeholders in just a few seconds. And with SPICE – QuckSight’s in-memory calculation engine – you can go from data to insights, faster than ever.

BDM206: Understanding IoT Data: How to Leverage Amazon Kinesis in Building an IoT Analytics Platform on AWS Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

The growing popularity and breadth of use cases for IoT are challenging the traditional thinking of how data is acquired, processed, and analyzed to quickly gain insights and act promptly. Today, the potential of this data remains largely untapped. In this session, we explore architecture patterns for building comprehensive IoT analytics solutions using AWS big data services. We walk through two production-ready implementations. First, we present an end-to-end solution using AWS IoT, Amazon Kinesis, and AWS Lambda. Next, Hello discusses their consumer IoT solution built on top of Amazon Kinesis, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon Redshift.

ENT204: Large-scale AWS Migrations Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

As you begin to move out of your data center and develop a cloud-first strategy, you'll need support for large-scale migrations to AWS. In this session, CSC shares details about the journey to AWS by some of our largest enterprise customers. We provide best practices for planning your large-scale migrations and focus on business processes in addition to technology. We show how CSC used this approach to migrate to AWS as part of our separation last year into two publicly traded companies: CSC and CSRA. In less than six months, CSC took our 56-year-old company and broke it into two companies, one of which was brand new and without any infrastructure or enterprise applications. We explain how we leveraged the AWS Partner ecosystem to achieve this incredible IT challenge.

ENT207: Leading Enterprise Innovation at Startup Speed Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Incumbent enterprises face dramatically competitive landscapes, with threats from almost every direction. Protecting your core business and innovating for the future is a delicate balancing act. Innovating as fast as a startup becomes a core competency, but failed new product innovation wastes time and resources. In this session, IT managers and professionals learn how running a lean enterprise can be a powerful framework for leading enterprise-scale innovation as effectively and fast as a startup.

SAC326: How Harvard University Improves Scalable Cloud Network Security, Visibility, and Automation Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

With constantly evolving threats across the Internet, Harvard University deployed a security network platform to mitigate cyber threats, current and future, to protect institutional and research data. By using multiple geographic locations, best of breed equipment, and network automation, Harvard provides visibility, availability, and multilayer protections for their cloud network. This talk discusses the benefits, considerations, and lessons learned from using their security network platform at the edge of the cloud. Learn how Harvard designed and deployed the platform, utilizing serverless architecture to orchestrate the solution from within to protect their most sensitive data and afford students, faculty, and staff the flexibility of cloud computing.

SAC327: No More Ransomware: How Europol, the Dutch Police, and AWS Are Helping Millions Deal with Cybercrime Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Come to this session to learn how Europol, the Dutch police, Intel Security, and Kaspersky Lab have come together in an unprecedented collaboration of government and private-sector organizations. Open source ransomware code makes it easier to lock victims’ computers and encrypt their data, resulting in an alarming increase of cyber ransom. In response www.nomoreransom.org was created with the additional cooperation of AWS and Barracuda Web Application Firewall. Learn what tools are available to retrieve encrypted data and take a peek under the hood of this mission-critical website in the fight against ransomware. Perhaps because the site opposes ransomware, it has already received a number of attacks. Learn how AWS and Intel worked to rebuff these persistent assaults.
