ENT304: Build a Hybrid Cloud Architecture Using AWS Landing Zones Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Application modernization projects with AWS start with creating an AWS Landing Zone. Based on AWS best practices, AWS Landing Zones help ensure a secure, performant, highly available, and cost-efficient AWS environment. Common hybrid cloud use cases, such as cloud migration, data center extension, disaster recovery, cloud bursting, and edge computing, require data integration, operations management and monitoring, security, and networking as the foundational components of a hybrid cloud architecture. In this session, we dive deep on the networking, security, account management structure, operating management, and monitoring best practices to build your own AWS Landing Zone that can be extended into your data center. AWS partner, GreenPages, demonstrates a repeatable hybrid cloud architecture to secure, manage, and integrate your network across on-premises and multiple AWS regions using an AWS Landing Zone. AWS customer, Finch Therapeutics, then discusses how the company utilized the GreenPages hybrid cloud reference implementation to deploy, secure, and manage its hybrid cloud environment.

ENT309: Zendesk: Building a World-Class Cloud Center of Excellence Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

When it comes to doing the cloud right, no one size fits all. Yet sometimes organizations become distracted by the day-to-day management of cost, security, and overall operations. They can lose sight of the reasons they chose to embrace the cloud in the first place. How can you possibly manage it all and stay focused on the business outcomes that are most important? In this session, learn how forming a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) has become an increasingly common way to address many of these challenges. When implemented well, the CCoE acts as a bridge, connecting all departments that use, measure, or fund your cloud operation. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, CloudHealth Technologies.

ENT311: Enterprise DevOps: Patterns of Efficiency Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

DevOps is a powerful movement that can help enterprises speed up their rate of innovation. But many large organizations struggle to implement DevOps at scale due to conflicts (real and perceived) with existing IT processes. Enterprise DevOps is the convergence of the speed and agility from modern development processes with the governance, security, and compliance control from traditional IT operations processes. In this session, learn how to implement enterprise DevOps in your organization through building a culture of inclusion, common sense, and continuous improvement. Also learn how to incorporate the knowledge from subject matter experts across your business into your automated DevOps guardrails to create the positive feedback loop we call "patterns of efficiency." This session contains actionable advice for leaders from IT as well as finance, compliance, and security departments.
