IOT309: NEW LAUNCH! Lambda Everywhere Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

You can now execute Lambda’s almost anywhere – originating in the cloud, and on connected devices with AWS Greengrass. This advanced technical session explores Lambda Functions and what it means to use them across these diverse environments. We will treat the cloud as the ‘brain’, using local Lambda’s for local executions. This way devices can react instinctively, much like the autonomic nervous system, operating in the periphery and responsible for collecting and filtering information, implementing simple and time-sensitive local actions reflexively.

IOT402: IoT Blueprints: Optimizing Supply for Smart Agriculture from the Farm to the Table Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

30% of global food produce is wasted in the supply chain: storage, movement, and delivery. By using AWS IOT to enable sensors to manage the supply chain and big data to understand patterns, industrial companies can gain efficiencies in electricity and transportation.

MBL205: Test and Debug Your Mobile Apps on Real Android and iOS Devices in the Cloud with AWS Device Farm Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

With the widespread and accelerating adoption of mobile devices, delivering high quality mobile experiences became essential for success in today's marketplace In this session, learn how you can deliver top quality apps by using AWS Device Farm for testing and debugging on hundreds of unique Android and iOS devices in the cloud. A Device Farm customer, Gannett, describes their journey from a time-consuming manual activity to fast and repeatable automation activity when using Chef, Scalr, AWS, and Jenkins. The new cloud infrastructure allows Gannett to scale on-demand to build and test 100+ Android native apps on Amazon EC2 instances and Device Farm to speed up their continuous integration pipeline with efficiency.

MBL206: AWS Customers Saving Lives with Mobile and IoT Technology Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Join us for a compelling session to learn how technological innovation can save lives. Hear from a customer that uses AWS very differently and has the ability to move rapidly to address pressing societal problems with the aid of AWS. Learn how mobile and IoT technology allows them to scale and accelerate their impact. Speakers talk about why they selected specific AWS services, and how that allowed their teams to be agile and focus more on their solutions instead of undifferentiated plumbing. The ShotSpotter Flex gunfire data service uses acoustic sensors to detect gunshots in the field. Data is then transmitted to the AWS Cloud, and further processed to validate signatures and, if necessary, alert emergency dispatch teams.

MBL304: NEW LAUNCH! How to Enable Real-Time Mobile App Engagement with Amazon Pinpoint Dec 25, 2016

MBL305: Developing Mobile Apps and Serverless Microservices for Enterprises using AWS Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

In this session, we dive deep into how to apply the serverless microservices approach to developing mobile and web applications on AWS, for both business-to-consumer and business-to-employee enterprise applications. We discuss use cases, scenarios, best practices, and design patterns around user authentication, authorization, backend microservices, API management, analytics, user engagement, security, and integration with enterprise apps and data sources. We go into details about how to use AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon Cognito, and other AWS services to develop mobile applications and backend microservices.

MBL306: Serverless Authentication and Authorization: Identity Management for Serverless Architectures Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

By leveraging 'serverless architectures', startups and enterprises are building and running modern applications and services with increased agility and simplified scalability—all without managing a single server. Many applications need to manage user identities and support sign-in/sign-up. In this session, we dive deep on how to support millions of user identities, as well as how to integrate with social identity providers (such as Google and Facebook) and existing corporate directories. You learn the real-world design patterns that AWS customers use to implement authentication and authorization. By combining Amazon Cognito identity pools and user pools with API Gateway, AWS Lambda, and AWS IAM, you can add security without adding servers.

MBL307: NEW LAUNCH! Enhance Your Mobile Apps with AI Using Amazon Lex Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

Amazon Echo and Alexa have shown that voice interfaces provide significant benefits to users – interactions are easy, fast, and context-driven. In this hands-on session, you’ll see how to add compelling voice and chat interfaces to your mobile apps, using Amazon Lex for processing conversations and triggering corresponding actions in your backend systems, all without having to manage any infrastructure. You’ll leave knowing how to build apps that can “Find me a nearby hotel” or “Reorder supplies for the copier”.

NET401: Another Day, Another Billion Packets Dec 25, 2016

Show notes

In this session, we walk through the Amazon VPC network presentation and describe the problems we were trying to solve when we created it. Next, we walk through how these problems are traditionally solved, and why those solutions are not scalable, inexpensive, or secure enough for AWS. Finally, we provide an overview of the solution that we've implemented and discuss some of the unique mechanisms that we use to ensure customer isolation, get packets into and out of the network, and support new features like VPC endpoints.
