DEV209: A Field Guide to Monitoring on the AWS Cloud: From Lift and Shift to AWS Lambda Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Static applications living on long-running servers and assumptions about monitoring are becoming history on the cloud. Now, we routinely deploy a range of services, from automatic scaling to decoupled message queues to serverless applications. These dynamic services, with microservices architectures, can break or coexist with traditional monitoring and instrumentation approaches. Whether you're building new apps, were told to migrate yesterday, are currently migrating, or are already scaling your apps on AWS, this session dives into the how, where, and when to monitor your applications and infrastructure, no matter where your apps run. Also hear best practices we've learned from our customers, and from running our own service (1.5 billion+ metrics per minute). Join us for a little bit of history and a whole lot of now as we show you how and what you need to scale and prove your success on the AWS Cloud. Session sponsored by New Relic

DEV301: Dev Tested, Ops Approved: 10 Guardrails from Atlassian for Better, Faster DevOps Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Over the years, Atlassian's engineering teams have developed a set of proven and dependable DevOps practices that have allowed us to increase velocity and ship more reliably. Like many of you, Atlassian is grappling with complex, distributed teams; ever-increasing demand on our products and services; and a greater need than ever for a fast, stable release cadence and reliable uptime. This year, we're going to be sharing 10 of our dev tested, ops approved practices with you. In this session, we discuss: how Atlassian tools integrate with AWS to break down silos, increase development speed, and minimize system outages; how to scale the DevOps basics, from building a culture of collaboration to quadrupling your release cadence; and how to track the business value of what you're building, using, deploying, and repairing. Session Sponsored by Atlassian.

DEV303: How HubSpot Got Beyond Four 9s of Availability on AWS Using SignalFx Detectors Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Hubspot relies on the performance of their business-critical cloud applications; any emerging issues must be addressed immediately. Running a microservices environment made up of thousands of instances to support 45 different teams means that unexpected changes can have a major impact. Manual intervention is often not fast enough to catch emerging anomalies and to maintain the level of availability required. In this session, we discuss how we've built our own tooling around our CD pipeline and how we've utilized automation to exponentially improve our MTTR. Learn how: Hubspot manages a microservices environment to enable hundreds of deployments a day; leveraging SignalFx detectors help proactively determine emerging issues; automatically invoking AWS services reduces usage-related failures; visibility across an entire AWS environment improves MTTR.

DEV305: Manage Your Applications with AWS Elastic Beanstalk Dec 01, 2017

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, AWS CodeCommit) 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.

DEV306: Embrace DevOps and Learn How to Automate Operations Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Managing large-scale production environments can be complex – things will go wrong and learning to operate and manage these environments is critical. From routine tasks such as building AMIs to managing the lifecycle of your instances, investing in automation and tooling can help you detect problems earlier, minimize downtime, and reduce manual work. In this session, you will learn how to use Amazon EC2 Systems Manager to troubleshoot common issues, detect and remediate configuration drift, and automate common actions. You will learn how to author common actions and about community driven features of Systems Manager. You can use the same tools across Linux and Windows, in AWS and in hybrid environments. You will also hear from a Systems Manager customer on how they are using Systems Manager to better manage and operate their infrastructure. Our customer, Ancestry, will talk about how they are using EC2 Systems Manager to manage their environment in an agile manner.

DEV307: AWS CLI: 2017 and Beyond Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Are you using the AWS CLI to manage your AWS services and want to do more? In this session learn how to utilize the latest features of the AWS CLI to improve your current workflows in interacting with and managing your AWS resources from the command line. It is recommended that audience members have familiarity with the AWS CLI as this talk will focus on its newer, more advanced features. Come hear from the core AWS CLI development team on how to leverage these features for 2017 and beyond!

DEV311: Using AWS CloudTrail to Enhance Governance and Compliance of Amazon S3 Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

As organizations move their workloads to the cloud, companies must take steps to protect and audit their private and confidential information. This session focuses on Amazon S3 best practices and using AWS CloudTrail Data Events to help better protect data residing within Amazon S3. The session includes a demonstration to show how CloudTrail, in combination with other AWS services, can help with Amazon S3 governance and compliance requirements.

DEV314: Monitoring as Code: Getting to Monitoring-Driven Development Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

“Infrastructure as Code” has changed not only how we think about configuring infrastructure, but about the infrastructure itself. AWS has been at the core of this movement, enabling your infrastructure teams to benefit from software engineering best practices such as CI/CD, automated testing, and repeatable deployments. Now that you have mastered the art of managing your infrastructure as code, it's time to leverage these same lessons for monitoring and metrics. In this session, we dive into how you can leverage tooling such as AWS, Terraform, and Datadog to programmatically define your monitoring so that you that you can scale your organizational observability along with your infrastructure, and attain consistency from local development all the way through production. Session sponsored by Datadog, Inc.

DEV315: GitHub to AWS Lambda: Developing, Testing, and Deploying Serverless Apps Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

AWS Lambda has emerged as a powerful and cost-effective way for enterprises to quickly deploy services without the need to provision and manage virtual servers. This session includes a hands-on demo of how to use GitHub as the core of a DevOps toolchain. Learn how to leverage AWS integrations with Jenkins, the AWS CLI, and open source software to build, test, and deploy a service to AWS Lambda. We also explore key product updates to GitHub and GitHub Enterprise that are designed to make serverless development easier and more efficient. Session sponsored by GitHub, Inc.
