DEV305: Configuration Management in the Cloud Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

To ensure that your application operates in a predictable manner in both your test and production environments, you must vigilantly maintain the configuration of your resources. By leveraging configuration management solutions, Dev and Ops engineers can define the state of their resources across their entire lifecycle. In this session, we will show you how to use AWS OpsWorks, AWS CodeDeploy, and AWS CodePipeline to build a reliable and consistent development pipeline that assures your production workloads behave in a predictable manner.

DEV306: How News UK Centralized Cloud Governance Through Policy Management Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

When you run a complex AWS environment with thousands of Amazon EC2 instances, more than half a petabyte of object storage, and support the largest daily newspapers in the UK, you need a world-class cloud management strategy. For companies like News Corp, implementing policies that automate infrastructure schedules, right-size workloads, and manage and modify reservations is critical. As you scale your cloud infrastructure, defining centralized governance rules while enabling decentralized management is key to running an optimized cloud.

DEV307: How to Scale and Operate Elasticsearch on AWS Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Elasticsearch has quickly become the leading open source technology for scaling search and building document services on. Many software providers have come to rely on it to serve the needs of high-performance, production applications.

DEV308: Chalice: A Serverless Microframework for Python Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Chalice is a new Python serverless microframework for AWS. In this session, we'll show how to use it to create serverless REST APIs that use Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda. We'll deploy our first REST API in less than 30 seconds. Several live demos will show how to build on this example to leverage other Chalice capabilities, including advanced URL routing, automatic policy generation, and Swagger exports.

DEV309: Turbocharge Your Microsoft .NET Developments with AWS Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

In this session, you will discover how to integrate the AWS developer tools into your development process. We will demonstrate how to leverage AWS services, the .NET SDK, and the Visual Studio Toolkit to simplify and streamline your development processes. This session is targeted at development teams using Microsoft Visual Studio and the Microsoft ecosystem of products. Most of the presentation will be in Visual Studio.

DEV310: DevOps on AWS: Choosing the Right Software Deployment Technique Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

We’ve seen companies like fast-growing startups, large enterprises, and even Amazon.com itself adopt and evolve strategies to optimize their delivery of cloud applications. Some AWS customers perform in-place updates across their servers. Some perform blue-green deployments to newly provisioned servers. In this session, we’ll share the advantages of each approach and talk about the scenarios in which you should choose one over the other. We will also demonstrate how to perform each deployment technique in an agile and reliable manner.

DEV311: Multi-Region Delivery Netflix Style Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Netflix rapidly deploys services across multiple AWS accounts and regions over 4,000 times a day. We’ve learned many lessons about reliability and efficiency. What’s more, we’ve built sophisticated tooling to facilitate our growing global footprint. In this session, you’ll learn about how Netflix confidently delivers services on a global scale and how, using best practices combined with freely available open source software, you can do the same.

DEV312: Cloud Monitoring: Change is the New Normal- New Relic & Gannett Discuss their Measurement Journey Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Dynamic applications require dynamic resources and dynamic infrastructure. AWS provides many resources for applications to build highly scaled, highly available, dynamic applications, services, and microservices. However, managing and tracking these resources—and making sure they are operating as expected—is a challenge. In this session, we discuss how to monitor and manage the dynamic resources that make up your applications, and learn how to tell when a resource is causing your application problems. Designed for people already acquainted with basic dynamic resource allocation techniques, such as effectively using Auto Scaling, this session helps you take your resource management to the next level.

DEV313: Infrastructure Continuous Delivery Using AWS CloudFormation Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

In this session, we will review ways to manage the lifecycle of your dev, test, and production infrastructure using CloudFormation. Learn how to architect your infrastructure through loosely coupled stacks using cross-stack references, tightly coupled nested stacks and other best practices. Learn how to use CloudFormation to provision and manage a continuous deployment pipeline for your infrastructure-as-code. Automate deployment of new development environments as your infrastructure evolves, promote your new architecture for testing, and deploy changes to production.

DEV315: How Bleacher Report Gains Competitive Edge with AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Docker Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

When you're one of the top sports media sites on the internet, you deal with scale like no other. Bleacher Report and its Team Stream app enable millions of users to access their own personalized view of sports. In this session, we'll talk about how we broke up the monolith into microservices and how Elastic Beanstalk empowered us to move quickly. Learn how a small Ops team provided a world-class build/release pipeline by standing on the shoulder of giants (AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Jenkins, and Docker). This session is designed for those who want to get up and running as quickly as possible, but are uncompromising in their ownership of infrastructure. We'll discuss the reasoning behind our switch from fully managing our own infrastructure to a managed service, including some advanced customizations made possible through AWS CloudFormation and AWS Elastic Beanstalk configuration files (.ebextensions).
