AWS Device Farm enables developers to deliver higher quality iOS, Android, and Fire OS apps by testing them against real phones and tablets in the AWS cloud. You can write and configure tests, run them in the cloud, and view detailed results that pinpoint bugs and performance problems. We are excited that Etsy and IHS will join us to discuss and take your questions about their mobile quality strategy and how they are using AWS Device Farm to enable that.

Mobile app development is complex and time-consuming. Learn how to rapidly deliver mobile apps with AWS Mobile Hub. We will demonstrate how AWS Mobile Hub abstracts the undifferentiated heavy lifting by providing a single, integrated experience for discovering, provisioning and configuring AWS cloud resources you need to build, test, and monitor usage of your mobile apps.

As enterprises move to the cloud, robust connectivity is often an early consideration. AWS Direct Connect provides a more consistent network experience for accessing your AWS resources, typically with greater bandwidth and reduced network costs. This session dives deep into the features of AWS Direct Connect and VPNs. We discuss deployment architectures and demonstrate the process from start to finish. Well show you how to configure public and private virtual interfaces, configure routers, use VPN backup, and provide secure communication between sites by using the AWS VPN CloudHub.

For some organizations, all of the technical security features in the world cant address an underlying need to restrict physical access of resources to citizens within the United States. GovCloud (US) was established to meet the needs of the US federal government, but it is available for any organization facing the challenge of restricting access in this way. Learn about the features available in GovCloud (US), how to onboard your workloads, and the options for using GovCloud (US) as one of multiple regions. Also, hear from government and commercial customers about their experience using GovCloud (US).

Protecting sensitive data in the cloud typically requires encryption. Managing the keys used for encryption can be challenging as your sensitive data passes between services and applications. AWS offers several options for using encryption and managing keys to help simplify the protection of your data at rest. This session will help you understand which features are available and how to use them, with emphasis on AWS Key Management Service and AWS CloudHSM. Adobe Systems Incorporated will present their experience using AWS encryption services to solve data security needs.

CSC engineers will demonstrate enterprise policy, governance, and security products to deploy and manage enterprise and industry applications AWS. We will demonstrate automated provisioning and management of big data platforms and industry specific enterprise applications with automatically provisioned secure network connectivity from the datacenter to AWS over layer 2 routed AT&T NetBond (provides AWS DirectConnect access) connection. We will demonstrate how applications blueprinted on CSC's Agility Platform can be re-hosted on AWS in minutes or re-instantiated across multiple AWS regions. CSC Cybersecurity will also demonstrate how CSC can provide agile & consumption based endpoint security for workloads in any cloud or virtual infrastructure, providing enterprise management and 24x7 monitoring of workload compliance, vulnerabilities, and potential threats.

Running enterprise workloads with sensitive data in AWS is hard and requires an in-depth understanding about software-defined security risks. At re:Invent 2014, Intuit and AWS presented "Enterprise Cloud Security via DevSecOps" to help the community understand how to embrace AWS features and a software-defined security model. Since then, we've learned quite a bit more about running sensitive workloads in AWS.

We've evaluated new security features, worked with vendors, and generally explored how to develop security-as-code skills. Come join Intuit and AWS to learn about second-year lessons and see how DevSecOps is evolving. We've built skills in security engineering, compliance operations, security science, and security operations to secure AWS-hosted applications. We will share stories and insights about DevSecOps experiments, and show you how to crawl, walk, and then run into the world of DevSecOps.

Join this diverse panel of technology experts as they discuss emerging trends all startups should be aware of in a dialogue moderated by Amazon.com CTO Dr. Werner Vogels. The group gives a peek into the future by discussing how local governments, microeconomic trends, evolving accelerator programs, new-school funding habits, and the AWS cloud are influencing the ever-shifting startup scene.

Any fast-growing organization needs a way to manage the ever-increasing volume of data being generated across the globe and the need for real-time analysis. In this session, we walk through a real-life architecture and demonstration of how to leverage Amazon Kinesis, AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, and Amazon Redshift/Aurora for near real-time access to data being collected around the globe. We dive deep into performance, cost, and system resiliency and give you practical tools you can use today to manage your own global data ingestion pipeline and produce quality analytics in real-time without building infrastructure.

No matter the industry, leading organizations need to closely integrate, deploy, secure, and scale diverse technologies to support workloads while containing costs. Nasdaq, Inc.-a leading provider of trading, clearing, and exchange technology-is no exception.

After migrating more than 1,100 tables from a legacy data warehouse into Amazon Redshift, Nasdaq, Inc. is now implementing a fully-integrated, big data architecture that also includes Amazon S3, Amazon EMR, and Presto to securely analyze large historical data sets in a highly regulated environment. Drawing from this experience, Nasdaq, Inc. shares lessons learned and best practices for deploying a highly secure, unified, big data architecture on AWS.

Attendees learn:

Architectural recommendations to extend an Amazon Redshift data warehouse with Amazon EMR and Presto.

Tips to migrate historical data from an on-premises solution and Amazon Redshift to Amazon S3, making it consumable.

Best practices for securing critical data and applications leveraging encryption, SELinux, and VPC.
