GPSTEC302: GPS: Anti-Patterns: Learning from Failure Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

How does a practice become a "best" practice? How does a pattern become an "anti" pattern? As always, experience is the best teacher. As Partner Solution Architects, we receive a lot of partner feedback on how practices and design patterns work—and occasionally fail to work—in the real world. We use this feedback to inform our recommendations and reference architectures. In this session, we explore a representative set of real-life "failures." We look at what these failures have to teach us about design and how to prioritize remediation of known issues.

GPSTEC303: GPS: Blockchain and the Road to Innovation Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

For many, Blockchain has been a black box with little standardization on how to use the technology. The need to understand a multitude of protocols, consortiums, and services, along with their strengths and weaknesses, makes it difficult to select the best option for individual use cases. The lack of technical maturity leads to an uneasiness within the community that can negatively affect adoption. With our new partnerships, along with Intel, this panel discusses technology drivers that are pushing standards forward and accelerating the adoption of Blockchain in the AWS enterprise space. Come join us for a closer look at what Blockchain is doing for several industries and their use cases.

GPSTEC306: GPS: Continuous Compliance for Healthcare and Life Sciences Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Healthcare and life sciences companies often have to adhere to specific regulatory requirements, such as GxP or HIPAA. The ability to treat your application environment as code on AWS lets you iterate faster while adhering to the appropriate regulatory frameworks. In this session, we discuss how DevOps principles can help you achieve your compliance requirements by validating your infrastructure in the same way that you do software. In particular, we discuss common compliance principles, demonstrate how to translate from policies to technical controls, and highlight how our partners are building for GxP and HIPAA.

GPSTEC308: GPS: SaaS Metrics: The Ultimate View of Tenant Consumption Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

SaaS architects must always have their finger on the pulse of tenant consumption. Understanding the patterns for tenant consumption provides both business and technical teams the data they need to make sound decisions about product packaging, metering, and tiering. Of course, building a robust model for analyzing and attributing tenant consumption can be tricky. In this session, we look at specific strategies for capturing, aggregating, and associating consumption with tenants in a multitenant, shared resource model. We touch on common patterns and strategies that are used to instrument and publish metrics spanning compute, storage, and so on. We also look at how tools and models that can be used to correlate consumption with AWS spend.
