CON301: Mastering Kubernetes on AWS Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Kubernetes offers a powerful abstraction layer for managing containerized infrastructure. Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) makes it easy to run Kubernetes on AWS without having to manage master nodes or the etcd operator. In this session, we cover what you need to know to get your application up and running with Kubernetes on AWS. We show how Amazon EKS makes deploying Kubernetes on AWS simple and scalable, including networking, security, monitoring, and logging.

CON305: Get SaaSy with Red Hat OpenShift on AWS Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Making AWS services accessible from within OpenShift is seamless. From a single platform, operations teams can administer AWS services, and developers can easily find and consume those services within their applications in a truly hybrid environment. In this session, we dive deep into deploying OpenShift on AWS and deploying the AWS Service Broker. We also share some very interesting use cases. Because this is a deep-dive session, we recommend you have an understanding of containers and native AWS services. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, Red Hat, Inc.

CON306: Observability for Modern Applications Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

In modern, microservices-based applications, it's critical to have end-to-end observability of each microservice and the communications between them in order to quickly identify and debug issues. In this session, we cover the techniques and tools to achieve consistent, full-application observability, including monitoring, tracing, logging, and service mesh.

CON307: Production-Ready Environments for Kubernetes Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Kubernetes is taking off and being rapidly adopted both on-premises and in the AWS Cloud. Today, enterprises are struggling to build, deploy, and manage production-ready environments at scale. The Cisco Hybrid Solution for Kubernetes on AWS makes it easy for customers to run production-grade Kubernetes on-premises. This is achieved by configuring on-premises Kubernetes environments to be consistent with Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) and by combining Cisco's networking, security, management, and monitoring software with the world-class cloud services of AWS. This enables customers to focus on building and using applications instead of being constrained by where they run.

CON308: Building Microservices with Containers Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Microservices are minimal function services that are deployed separately, but can interact together to function as a broader application. Microservices can be built, changed, and deployed quickly with a relatively small impact, empowering developers to speed up the rate of innovation. In this session, we show how containers help enable microservices-based application architectures, discuss best practices for building new microservices, and cover the AWS services that allow you to build performant microservices applications.

CON309: Building PaaS with Amazon EKS for Highly Regulated Enterprise Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Containers make it easy to build and deploy applications by abstracting away the underlying operating system. But how do you build secure and compliant containerized applications in a distributed environment, and without direct access to the operating system your code is running on? In this session, hear how Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) is integrated into a large-scale regulated enterprise in the areas of network, security, CI/CD, and monitoring to cater to the needs of various business units. We cover the basics in each of these areas in Amazon EKS, and we hear from Fidelity on how it is driving its cloud strategy with Amazon EKS in the heavily regulated finance sector. We also share best practices and common architectures for building containerized application in highly regulated industries.

CON310: Breaking Containers: Chaos Engineering for Modern Applications on AWS Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

You may have heard of the buzzwords 'chaos engineering' and 'containers.' But what do they have to do with each other? In this session, we introduce chaos engineering and share a live demo of how to practice chaos engineering principles on AWS. We walk through chaos engineering practices, tools, and success metrics you can use to inject failures in order to make your systems more reliable.

CON311: Migrating to AWS Fargate Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

AWS Fargate makes it easy to run containers by removing the need to provision, scale, or manage servers. In this session, learn the rationale behind some of the design decisions by the Fargate team and how that should influence your application design and best practices for building on Fargate. In addition, Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) dives deep into how it migrated to Fargate, the decisions that helped it along the way, and the tools it created in the process.

CON312: Visibility into Serverless Applications built using AWS Fargate Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Ever wondered how you would get visibility into your application when you go serverless? In this session, we will dive deep into various visibility aspects of your serverless applications on AWS Fargate. We will cover best practices around logging, alerting, metric collection and monitoring health of your containers. We will also learn several ways to troubleshoot container start up issues or application errors. Catalytic will then show how they're using Fargate to perform parallelized bioinformatics workflows and how they gain better visibility into their applications running on Fargate.

CON314: Thomson Reuters: How It Hosted NET App on ECS Using Windows Containers Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

In this session, we detail how Thomson Reuters hosted its critical enterprise .NET Framework application on Amazon ECS using Windows containers. We also dive into the company's decision-making process in choosing the right hosting platform, technology, and so on. We describe the unique custom solution Thomson Reuters developed using AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeBuild, and Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) that helped it create an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline for its environment. Complete Title: AWS re:Invent 2018: [REPEAT] Thomson Reuters Shows How It Hosted a .NET App on Amazon ECS Using Windows Containers (CON314-R)
