CMP319: Easily Coordinate Microservices, Build Serverless Apps, and Automate Tasks as Visual Workflows using AWS Step Functions Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Do you have daily, weekly, or monthly tasks that you would like to automate? Looking to link two or more AWS Lambda functions in long-running processes? Are you building applications using microservices or containers? AWS Step Functions makes it easy to coordinate the components of distributed applications using visual workflows. In this session, we will share how AWS customers like Yelp are using Step Functions to reliably build and scale multi-step applications such as order processing, report generation, and data transformation. You will learn how to reduce the time to deploy and change microservices and serverless applications, and automate IT infrastructure for improved resilience and security.

CMP323: AWS Batch: Easy and Efficient Batch Computing on AWS Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

AWS Batch is a fully managed service that enables developers to easily and efficiently run batch computing workloads of any scale on AWS. AWS Batch automatically provisions the right quantity and type of compute resources needed to run your jobs. With AWS Batch, you don't need to install or manage batch computing software, so you can focus on analyzing results and solving problems. In this session, the principal product manager for AWS Batch, Jamie Kinney, describes the core concepts behind AWS Batch and details of how the service functions. The presenter then demonstrates the latest features of AWS Batch with relevant use cases and sample code before describing some of the upcoming features for the service. Finally, hear from AWS Batch customers as they describe why and how they are using AWS Batch. This portion of the talk is delivered by representatives from the University of Utah, Autodesk, and AdRoll.

CMP330: NEW LAUNCH! Amazon EC2 Bare Metal Instances Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

When Amazon EC2 launched in 2006 there was a single instance size: m1.small. Over the past eleven years EC2 has evolved to provide an extensive selection of compute resources to customers including specialized resources such as NVMe SSDs, GPUs, and FPGAs. Under the hood, the servers used to host EC2 instances have transformed from off the shelf designs running virtualization software on the host CPUs to purpose built servers with AWS network and storage components implemented in hardware. Now we are happy to announce a new category of EC2 instances: Amazon EC2 Bare Metal Instances. These instances provide customers access to the physical compute resources of the host processors along with the security, scale, and services of EC2. This session will provide an overview of Bare Metal instances, how VMware used EC2 Bare Metal instances to build VMware Cloud on AWS, and other customer use cases for this new EC2 capability.

CMP332: C5 Instances and the Evolution of Amazon EC2 Virtualization Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Over the last 11 years, the Amazon EC2 virtualization platform has quietly evolved to take advantage of unique hardware and silicon, an accelerated network and storage architecture, and with the launch of C5 instances, a bespoke hypervisor to deliver the maximum amount of resources and performance to instances. Come to this deep dive to get a behind-the-scenes look at how our virtualization stack has evolved, including a peak at how our latest generation platform works under the covers.

CMP333: How to Get the HPC Best-in-class Performance via Intel Xeon Skylake Processors and AWS C5 Instances with Ease of Deployment Through Rescale Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

HPC Cloud services built on the latest Intel architecture, Skylake Xeon processor, are now powering the C5 compute intensive instance at AWS and can serve as your next-generation HPC platform. Hear how customers are starting to consider hybrid strategies to increase productivity and lower their capital expenditure and maintenance costs. Also learn how to adapt this model to meet the increasing HPC and data analytics needs for your applications with the new technologies incorporated into the platform. Also find out how high performance computing via Rescale's cloud platform using Intel's latest technology seamlessly brings these advantages to HPC management and users. To access team management and throughput, all can benefit from cloud platform adoption as demand increases. Learn how customers are already benefiting. Richard Childress Racing (RCR) discusses its use of AWS C5 via the Rescale platform and how the combination is giving it an edge in the highly competitive field of motorsport.

CON201: Containers on AWS - State of the Union Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Just over four years after the first public release of Docker, and three years to the day after the launch of Amazon EC2 Container Service, the use of containers has surged to run a significant percentage of production workloads at startups and enterprise organizations. Join Deepak Singh, General Manager of Amazon Container Services, as we cover the state of containerized application development and deployment trends, new container capabilities on AWS that are available now, options for running containerized applications on AWS, and how AWS customers successfully run container workloads in production.

CON202: Getting Started with Docker and Amazon ECS Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

By packaging software into standardized units, Docker gives code everything it needs to run, ensuring consistency from your laptop all the way into production. But once you have your code ready to ship, how do you run and scale it in the cloud? In this session, you become comfortable running containerized services in production using Amazon EC2 Container Service. We cover container deployment, cluster management, service auto-scaling, service discovery, secrets management, logging, monitoring, security, and other core concepts. We also cover integrated AWS services and supplementary services that you can take advantage of to run and scale container-based services in the cloud.

CON203: Driving innovation with container architecture Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Containers allow you to easily package an application's code, configurations, and dependencies into easy to use building blocks that deliver environmental consistency, operational efficiency, developer productivity, and version control. But how can developers leverage containers to drive innovation for their applications, their team, and organization? In this session, Asif Khan Technical Business Manager for AWS will discuss how containers are becoming a new cloud native compute primitive, and how your organization can use containers as a building block to accelerate innovation. WeWork's Christopher Tava, Joshua Davis, and OpsLine's Radek Wierzbicki will show how they adopted containers as discipline in code development, and how they refactored their production architecture into containers running on Amazon ECS in under 8 months.

CON205: Birds of a Feather: Containers and Open Source at AWS Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Cloud native architectures take advantage of on-demand delivery, global deployment, elasticity, and higher-level services to enable developer productivity and business agility. Open source is a core part of making cloud native possible for everyone. In this session, we welcome thought leaders from the CNCF, Docker, and AWS to discuss the cloud's direction for growth and enablement of the open source community. We also discuss how AWS is integrating open source code into its container services and its contributions to open source projects.

CON207: Digital Transformation: Adapt or Perish Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Red Hat OpenShift Containers Platform uses Kubernetes, Docker, Amazon EC2, Elastic Load Balancing, and persistent storage to provide a high performance, optimized, and scalable Linux container infrastructure leveraging Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In this session, we discuss best practices on successfully designing, implementing, and managing distributed microservices applications at any scale. We also explore other innovative strategies, including integrated analytic techniques to anticipate and predict scaling operations to allow infrastructures to scale elastically on-demand.
