ARC304: Effective Application Data Analytics for Modern Applications Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

IT is evolving from a cost center to a source of continuous innovation for business. At the heart of this transition are modern, revenue-generating applications, based on dynamic architectures that constantly evolve to keep pace with end-customer demands. This dynamic application environment requires a new, comprehensive approach to traditional monitoring – one based on real-time, end-to-end visibility and analytics across the entire application lifecycle and stack, instead of monitoring by piecemeal. This presentation highlights practical advice on how developers and operators can leverage data and analytics to glean critical information about their modern applications. In this session, we will cover the types of data important for today’s modern applications. We’ll discuss visibility and analytics into data sources such as AWS services (e.g., Amazon CloudWatch, AWS Lambda, VPC Flow Logs, Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, etc.), development tool chain, and custom metrics, and describe how to use analytics to understand business performance and behaviors. We discuss a comprehensive approach to monitoring, troubleshooting, and customer usage insights, provide examples of effective data analytics to improve software quality, and describe an end-to-end customer use case that highlights how analytics applies to the modern app lifecycle and stack.

CMP312: Powering the Next Generation of Virtual Reality with Verizon Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

In six months, Verizon has built a best-in-class Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) platform that streams HD video and game experiences using Amazon EC2 GPU Accelerated instances and CloudFront. Verizon will share their reference architecture and configuration best practices that enabled them to develop a massively scalable VR architecture that scales to support for 100K simultaneous HD video streams to customers around the globe.

CMP314: Bringing Deep Learning to the Cloud with Amazon EC2 Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Algorithmia is a startup with a mission to make state of the art machine learning discoverable by everyone - they offer the largest algorithm marketplace in the world, with over 2500 algorithms supporting tens of thousands of application developers. Algorithma is the first company to make deep learning, one of the most conceptually difficult areas of computing, accessible to any company via microservices. In this session, you learn how this startup has selected and optimized Amazon EC2 instances for various algorithms (including the latest generation of GPU optimized instances), to create a flexible and scalable platform. They also share their architecture and best practices for getting any computationally-intensive application started quickly.

DCS202: AWS Training Opportunities Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Currently, a breadth of AWS training opportunities are available worldwide, both led by AWS and through community-driven training platforms. In this session, community leaders sort through the different training resources, discuss the resources they used to help them become AWS experts, and explain how different training solutions can complement one another.

DEV205: Monitoring, Hold the Infrastructure: Getting the Most from AWS Lambda Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Just as we got a hang of monitoring our server-based applications, they take away the server. How do you monitor something that doesn’t exist? Which metrics matter most in a serverless world? In this session, we will look at how applications are different in an AWS Lambda-based world and how to monitor them. Join us as we work our way through the stack and demonstrate how to capture the health and performance of your services.

DEV206: Scaling Your Web Applications with AWS Elastic Beanstalk Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

AWS Elastic Beanstalk provides an easy way for you to quickly deploy, manage, and scale applications in the AWS Cloud. Through interactive demos and code samples, this session will teach you how to deploy your code using Elastic Beanstalk, provision and use other AWS services (Amazon SNS, Amazon SQS, and Amazon DynamoDB), use your application’s health metrics to tune performance, scale your application to handle millions of requests, perform zero-downtime deployments with traffic routing, and keep the underlying application platform up-to-date with managed updates. Code samples for demos will be available to all session attendees.

DEV207: NEW LAUNCH! Developing Serverless C# Applications Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Just as serverless application development is rapidly becoming the most popular way to bring highly scalable applications to the cloud, .NET has undergone radical changes with .NET Core to become a premier development platform for the cloud. In this session, you will learn how to use the newly launched C# support for .NET Core with AWS Lambda to create highly scalable serverless applications that target platforms from the traditional desktop to mobile devices. We will demonstrate how to write, test, and deploy C# code to AWS Lambda and see how we can leverage our serverless back end from mobile applications.

DEV209: Another Day in the Life of a Netflix Engineer Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Netflix is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is.

DEV211: Automated DevOps and Continuous Delivery Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

In the digital economy, the fast development and deployment of applications is critical to success. To thrive in this application-oriented business environment, IT organizations are acting now to change their tools and processes to better support agile development methodologies. This session will cover performance benchmarking, benefits of migrating existing workloads, use of key services like Amazon RDS and AWS CloudHSM, and demonstrate how to deploy applications securely and at scale. Session sponsored by Cisco.

ENT203: Enterprise Fundamentals: Design Your Account and VPC Architecture for Enterprise Operating Models Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Customers looking to migrate to AWS often ask the following questions at the beginning of their journey “What is the right AWS account structure and VPC design for me?” and “How do I minimize the impact to my IT operations?” This session discusses the different account structures, VPC design patterns and network deployment architectures to align to different Enterprise IT Operating Models. We will also discuss the implications each pattern has with respect to Security, Finance and Operations. Nielsen, a global enterprise providing an understanding of what consumers watch and what consumers buy, will discuss the decision making process for their AWS account and VPC design. Nielsen will also discuss the implications of their decision. This session will benefit IT architects, managers and technology strategists to:
