AWS re:Invent 2017

Find out how Citrix built a solution using Matillion ETL for Amazon Redshift from AWS Marketplace to load all data into an Amazon Redshift cluster, allowing them to do their analytics on the entire environment at a single time. We'll discuss the transition made to consolidate multiple disparate databases in order to run analytic workloads, get a holistic view of all their data sources, and prevent inconsistent data from being captured.

In this session, we discuss the challenges that regulated industries (e.g., government, financial, and healthcare) face in demonstrating compliance with security requirements. Learn which AWS Marketplace services enable appropriate threat mitigations in cloud computing through customer use cases, and understand how to minimize your burden. We also demonstrate methods to reduce business impact while increasing security effectiveness and reducing risk in your environment.

As customers put more workloads into AWS, the number of VPCs a customer needs to manage also grows. VPCs can exist across geographically disparate AWS Regions, or run in separate AWS accounts connecting to a common VPC that serves as a global network transit center. This session shows you how to implement a networking construct that AWS calls a transit VPC using the Cisco Cloud Services Router. This network topology simplifies network management and minimizes the number of connections that you need to set up and manage. Even better, it is implemented virtually and doesn't require physical network gear or a physical presence in a colocation transit hub. Come hear why customers are procuring this service through AWS Marketplace and how customers are using the transit VPC for private networking, shared connectivity, and cross-account AWS usage.

Come learn how NASDAQ used AWS Marketplace to purchase and launch AppDynamics unified Application Performance Management (APM) and business performance monitoring solution for their migration to AWS. With AppDynamics, NASDAQ was able to move their critical applications to AWS and used AppDynamics to accelerate, visualize and validate the migration process.    This allowed NASDAQ to improve their applications in AWS with business performance monitoring and make clear, understandable correlations between the quality of their customer experience with their applications.

In this session, learn how customers have gained greater control over their data and improved cost savings by using NetApp ONTAP Cloud from AWS Marketplace, a curated catalog to find, buy, and deploy third-party party software. We dive into how to minimize your storage footprint by using enterprise-class storage features, such as data deduplication, compression, and snapshots with zero impact on app performance. You also learn out how to can accelerate application development using FlexClone technology to clone images and quickly create multiple environments that look just like your original data.

In this session, we walk through the fundamentals of Amazon VPC. First, we cover build-out and design fundamentals for VPCs, including picking your IP space, subnetting, routing, security, NAT, and much more. We then transition into different approaches and use cases for optionally connecting your VPC to your physical data center with VPN or AWS Direct Connect. This mid-level architecture discussion is aimed at architects, network administrators, and technology decision-makers interested in understanding the building blocks that AWS makes available with Amazon VPC. Learn how you can connect VPCs with your offices and current data center footprint.

This session provides an overview of IPv6 and covers key aspects of AWS support for the protocol. We discuss Amazon S3 and S3 Transfer Acceleration, Amazon CloudFront and AWS WAF, Amazon Route 53, AWS IoT, Elastic Load Balancing, and the virtual private cloud (VPC) environment of Amazon EC2. The presentation assumes solid knowledge of IPv4 and these AWS services.

Many customers are hesitant to adopt SaaS solutions due to the concerns on the safety of the network connectivity traversing internet. It is also difficult to manage the firewall rules, NAT Gateway or VPN connections. AWS PrivateLink provided solution that let our customers' applications, whether in a VPC or in their own data center,  to connect to SaaS solutions in a highly scalable and highly available manner, while keeping all the network traffic within the AWS network.

Learn about the new services and features we have and that we are launching across AWS Networking this year. Learn also about our vision for continued innovation in this space and the ongoing evolution of networking capabilities and performance. Gain insight into how these new capabilities help everyone—from developers to enterprises to startups—drive greater security and reliability, improved flexibility, and higher performance. Join Dave Brown, director of Amazon EC2 Networking, and learn more about Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Elastic Load Balancing, AWS PrivateLink, VPN, AWS Direct Connect, and more. In addition, we cover new releases and show how easy it is to get started. You leave armed with details of how everything fits together in real-world customer scenarios.

Many enterprises on their journey into the cloud require consistent and highly secure connectivity between their existing data center and AWS footprints. In this session, we walk through the different architecture options for establishing this connectivity using AWS Direct Connect and VPN. With each option, we evaluate the considerations and discuss risk, performance, encryption, and cost. As we walk through these options, we answer some of the common questions that arise from enterprises that tackle design and implementation. You'll learn how to make connectivity decisions that are suitable for your workloads, and how to best prepare against business impact in the event of failure.
