CON333: Deep Dive into AWS Fargate Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

AWS Fargate makes running containerized workloads on AWS easier than ever before. This session will provide a technical background for using Fargate with your existing containerized services, including best practices for building images, configuring task definitions, task networking, secrets management, and monitoring.

CON356: Moving to Amazon ECS – the Not-So-Obvious Benefits Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

If you ask 10 teams why they migrated to containers, you will likely get answers like ‘developer productivity', ‘cost reduction', and ‘faster scaling'. But teams often find there are several other ‘hidden' benefits to using containers for their services. In this talk, Franziska Schmidt, Platform Engineer at Mapbox and Yaniv Donenfeld from AWS will discuss the obvious, and not so obvious benefits of moving to containerized architecture. These include using Docker and ECS to achieve shared libraries for dev teams, separating private infrastructure from shareable code, and making it easier for non-ops engineers to run services.

CON401: Container Networking Deep Dive with Amazon ECS Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Deep dive into how Amazon ECS can enable secure, natively addressable, and highly performant network interfaces for containers using the recently launched the awsvpc task networking mode. In this session, we focus on how CNI plugins were integrated with the Amazon ECS container agent and discuss the backend changes necessary to enable elastic network interface provisioning for tasks. Shakeel Sorathia, VP of engineering at FOX Digital, discusses best practices for working with Amazon ECS to enable such use cases as network isolation and IP-based routing for service discovery.

CON402: Advanced Patterns in Microservices Implementation with Amazon ECS Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Scaling a microservice-based infrastructure can be challenging in terms of both technical implementation and developer workflow. In this talk, AWS Solutions Architect Pierre Steckmeyer will be joined by Will McCutchen, Architect at BuzzFeed, to discuss Amazon ECS as a platform for building a robust infrastructure for microservices. We will look at the key attributes of microservice architectures and how Amazon ECS supports these requirements in production, from configuration to sophisticated workload scheduling to networking capabilities to resource optimization. We will also examine what it takes to build an end-to-end platform on top of the wider AWS ecosystem, and what it's like to migrate a large engineering organization from a monolithic approach to microservices.

CON404: Deep Dive into Container Scheduling with Amazon ECS Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

As your application's infrastructure grows and scales, well-managed container scheduling is critical to ensuring high-availability and resource optimization. In this session, we will deep dive into the challenges and opportunities around container scheduling, as well as the different tools available within Amazon ECS and AWS to carry out efficient container scheduling. We will discuss patterns for container scheduling available with Amazon ECS and the Blox scheduling framework

CON406: Architecting Container Infrastructure for Security and Compliance Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

While organizations gain agility and scalability when they migrate to containers and microservices, they also benefit from compliance and security, advantages that are often overlooked. In this session, Kelvin Zhu, lead software engineer at Okta, joins Mitch Beaumont, enterprise solutions architect at AWS, to discuss security best practices for containerized infrastructure. Learn how Okta built their development workflow with an emphasis on security through testing and automation. Dive deep into how containers enable automated security and compliance checks throughout the development lifecycle. Also understand best practices for implementing AWS security and secrets management services for any containerized service architecture.

CTD201: Introduction to Amazon CloudFront and AWS Lambda@Edge Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

End users expect to be able to view static, dynamic, and streaming content anytime, anywhere, and on any device. Amazon CloudFront is a web service that accelerates delivery of your websites, APIs, video content, or other web assets to end users around the globe with low latency, high data transfer speeds, and no commitments. In this session, learn what a content delivery network (CDN) such as Amazon CloudFront is and how it works, the benefits it provides, common challenges and needs, performance, recently released features and examples of how customers are using CloudFront. You will also learn about recustomizing content delivery through AWS Lambda@Edge - a serverless compute service that lets you execute functions to customize the content delivered through CloudFront.

CTD202: Learn How AWS is Enabling the World's Most Advanced Media Workflows Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

AWS provides the building blocks for modern broadcast and OTT video workflows. In this session, we show how the broad array of AWS services can be used to build world class video workflows that are resilient, cost effective, and easy to manage. Both live and file-based video workflows are highlighted, and advanced monetization techniques are discussed.

CTD208: In Space, Everyone Can See NASA Stream (in 4K) Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Join NASA behind the scenes of the advanced video and cloud workflows that power deep space research. Create the foundation for space commerce, and ignite our imagination about the future. Gain firsthand knowledge of the lessons learned from the first-ever 4K live stream from space.
