CMP204: How to Effectively Plan for Disaster Recovery on AWS Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Although the AWS Cloud provides a new level of durability and resiliency, no workload is immune to disasters-be it due to accidental reasons or malicious intent. Even in the cloud, you have to ensure continuity. Traditional disaster recovery (DR) solutions are not optimized for the cloud and often result in higher costs, increased complexity, and operational challenges. To maintain compliance and business continuity service-level agreements, AWS DR planning requires a completely different approach to deal with cross-account, cross-region workload testing and failover. In this session, learn how you can set up an effective DR plan for your AWS environments. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, Druva.

CMP208: Amazon EC2 Foundations Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Amazon EC2 provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud and makes web-scale computing easier for customers. It offers a wide variety of compute instances well suited to every imaginable use case, from static websites to high-performance supercomputing on-demand, all available through highly flexible pricing options. This session covers the latest Amazon EC2 features and capabilities, including new instance families available in Amazon EC2, the differences among their hardware types and capabilities, and their optimal use cases. We also cover some best practices on how you can optimize your expenditure on Amazon EC2 to make the most of your EC2 instances, saving time and money.

CMP209: Amazon EC2 T Instances - Burstable, Cost-Effective Performance Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

In this session, you will learn how to utilize low cost T2 and T3 instances while still having access to sustainable high performance when needed. Designed for applications with variable CPU usage that experience occasional spikes in demand, T instances enable customers' applications to burst seamlessly to meet temporary traffic peaks and then scale back down to operate at typical traffic levels. The next generation T3 instances provide up to 30% better price performance over T2 instances and include unlimited bursting by default, making it a cost-effective choice for general-purpose computing.

CMP301: Backing Up Amazon EC2 with Amazon EBS Snapshots Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

With Amazon EBS, you can easily create a simple point-in-time backup for your Amazon EC2 instances. In this deep dive session, you learn how to use Amazon EBS snapshots to back up your Amazon EC2 environment. We review how snapshots work, and we share best practices for tagging snapshots, cost management, and snapshot automation.

CMP302: Computing on AWS: Driving Innovation w/o Infrastructure Constraints Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

In today's environment of increasingly large data sets and resource-intensive algorithmic processing, the challenge of HPC includes keeping pace with the demands of researchers, scientists, engineers, and creative professionals so they can rapidly produce high-value answers to complex questions. AWS HPC solutions deliver significant leaps in compute performance, memory capacity and bandwidth and I/O scalability. The highly customizable computing platform and robust partner ecosystem enable your staff to imagine new approaches so they can fail forward faster, delivering more answers to more questions without the need for costly, on-premises upgrades. This session provides an overview of HPC capabilities on AWS, describes the newest generations of accelerated computing instances, as well as highlighting customer and partner use-cases across industries. Attendees will also learn how the steadily increasing interest in running HPC workloads on the cloud can be combined with the advances in AI/ML to make it a catalyst for sustained innovation in these industries.
