AWS re:Invent 2018

KPMG have built a customer due diligence solution for a high-profile banking client in AWS. The solution is made up of a number of microservices which are deployed to containers using AWS Fargate. This presentation will dive into the details of the architecture of the solution, how the infrastructure and applications are deployed using third party tools such as Hashicorp's Terraform and Jenkins, and the best practices when running containers in production workloads. The presentation will cover details on the AWS resources used in the solution, including DynamoDB, ECS, Fargate and S3, CI/CD and automation, with a focus around security to meet banking regulatory requirements. We will look at how KPMG have configured for canary deployments to ECS Fargate, how we manage secrets management and encryption, and how we manage service discovery between the microservices using ECS Service Discovery and Route 53.

How do you ensure that a containerized system can handle the needs of your application? Designing and testing for performance is a critical aspect of operating containerized architectures at scale. In this session, we cover best practices for designing perfomant containerized applications on AWS using Kubernetes. We also show you how State Street deployed a high-performance database at scale using Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS). Complete Title: AWS re:Invent 2018: [REPEAT 1] Running a High-Performance Kubernetes Cluster with Amazon EKS (CON318-R1)

This session will focus on how leveraging Fargate and its serverless approach to deploying and managing containers will help increase operational efficiencies and reduce the time to ramp up your operations to run production containerized workloads. Datree will share their journey to adopt containers and the steps they were able to accelerate and avoid by using Fargate as well do a demo.

Applications built on a microservices-based architecture and packaged as containers bring several benefits to your organization. In this session, Duolingo, a popular language-learning platform and an Amazon ECS customer, describes its journey from a monolith to a microservices architecture. We highlight the hurdles you may encounter, discuss how to plan your migration to microservices, and explain how you can use Amazon ECS to manage this journey.

In this talk, we cover the configuration and networking details needed to run a production-ready Kubernetes cluster with Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS). We walk through the new features and updates for Amazon EKS in 2018.

Join Jess Frazelle, from GitHub, and Clare Liguori and Abby Fuller, from AWS, for a container power hour to kick off your re:Invent. In this session, learn how to use Git and GitHub to run your containers, and build, test, and deploy processes. GitOps and Actions and AWS Fargate-oh my! This session features a demo from Jess on using the new GitHub Actions to deploy to Fargate.

In this session we introduce AWS Cloud Map, a new service that lets you build the map of your cloud. It allows you to define friendly names for any resource such as S3 buckets, DynamoDB tables, SQS queues, or custom cloud services built on EC2, ECS, EKS, or Lambda. Your applications can then discover resource location, credentials, and metadata by friendly name using the AWS SDK and authenticated API queries. You can further filter resources discovered by custom attributes, such as deployment stage or version. AWS Cloud Map is a highly available service with rapid configuration change propagation.

AWS App Mesh is a service mesh that makes it easy to monitor and control communications for containerized microservices running on AWS. Join us to learn about how AWS can give you end-to-end visibility, and help manage traffic routing to ensure high availability for your services. We will cover the benefits of service mesh, capabilities provided by AWS App Mesh and how you can use AWS App Mesh with AWS, partner, and community tools.

This is a practical demo-driven session where you will learn about the best practice to protect applications on AWS. We will give an overview of the threats on AWS, discuss why perimeter defense helps with these threats, and discuss some key techniques that use services such as Amazon CloudFront, Route 53, and WAF to protect your web applications. Lastly, you will learn about the best practices to protect different types of applications - Web/APIs, TCP-based, or Gaming.

In this session, hear engineers from Amazon Prime Video and Amazon CloudFront discuss how they have architected and optimized their video delivery for scaled global audiences. Topics include optimizing the application and video pipeline for use with content delivery networks (CDN), optimizations in the CDN for efficient and performant video delivery, measuring quality, and effectively managing multi-CDN performance and policy. Learn how CloudFront delivers the performance that Prime Video demands, and hear best practices and lessons learned through scaling this fast-growing service.
