AWS re:Invent 2018

This session examines the key approaches and technologies required to obtain a unified view across server, network, code, database, container, and cloud. Learn the five core components for full-stack visibility and optimal application performance in AWS and hybrid cloud environments. We start with the cloud maturity journey and the typical behaviors of each stage. Next, we discuss application dependency mapping and the importance of knowing how every component is connected before migrating. We also explore the demands of serverless and container monitoring (Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, Amazon ECS). For post migration, we cover the importance of business-centric application performance metrics that compare on-premises and AWS cloud states. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, AppDynamics.

The allure of the cloud is compelling and offers greater agility, elasticity, and reduced capex. Businesses seek to reap these benefits by migrating to AWS, all while enforcing corporate governance and security policies to minimize risk. To accomplish this objective, businesses must continuously monitor the performance of complex applications, which is not practical with point solutions, such as bytecode instrumentation. In this session, learn how NETSCOUT's smart data platform enables continuous monitoring in hybrid cloud environments to minimize risk and control costs. Hear real-life examples of how businesses optimized their AWS migration, gaining visibility and deep insights into both the physical and virtual worlds, to maintain the continuity and security of the services throughout the migration process.This session is brought to you by AWS partner, NETSCOUT Systems.

Come join us as we take a deeper look at Amazon's approach to releasing mission-critical software. In this session, we take a journey through the release process of an AWS Tier 1 service on its way to production. We follow a single code change from idea to release, and we focus on how Amazon updates critical software quickly and safely for its global customers. Throughout the talk, we demonstrate how our internal software release processes map to AWS developer tools, and we highlight how you can leverage AWS CI/CD services to create your own robust release process.

DevOps is currently one of the most sought after engineering models. One reason is that it helps enterprise transformations. The Amazon transformation to DevOps was born out of the desire to be even more customer obsessed, more agile, and more innovative. Come and learn from our journey as we share the playbook that helped us successfully implement and adopt DevOps as well as the lessons we learned the hard way.

Developers increasingly rely on Salesforce Heroku and AWS services to support rapid, secure development and iteration. Join us in this session to learn how Heroku's visual, team-based continuous delivery workflow brings structure, insight, and simplicity to app development. We explore best practices for building applications composed of both Heroku and AWS data services. You also hear about customer examples and learnings you can use to supercharge the results and productivity of your application development teams. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, Salesforce.

In this session, learn how to architect a predictive and preventative remediation solution for your applications and infrastructure resources. We show you how to collect performance and operational intelligence, understand and predict patterns using AI & ML, and fix issues. We show you how to do all this by using AWS native solutions: Amazon SageMaker and Amazon CloudWatch.

Come learn what's new with Amazon CloudWatch, and watch as we leverage new capabilities to better monitor our systems and resources. We also walk you through the journey that BBC took in monitoring its custom off-cloud infrastructure alongside its AWS cloud resources.

AWS CloudFormation, in combination with other tools for continuous integration and delivery pipelines, can help automate and standardize frequent deployments for many types of applications, from traditional compute and autoscaling groups to serverless applications. In this session, we will present several use cases combining CloudFormation with build and pipeline automation tools to achieve repeatable, consistent and compliant deployments without sacrificing agility.

To get the most out of the agility afforded by serverless and containers, it is essential to build CI/CD pipelines that help teams iterate on code and quickly release features. In this talk, we demonstrate how developers can build effective CI/CD release workflows to manage their serverless or containerized deployments on AWS. We cover infrastructure-as-code (IaC) application models, such as AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) and new imperative IaC tools. We also demonstrate how to set up CI/CD release pipelines with AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild, and we show you how to automate safer deployments with AWS CodeDeploy.

Companies that are building and deploying modern applications need to have observability across metrics, logs, and traces to gain operational visibility of systems and resources, debug and analyze applications, and optimize customer experience. In this session, we leverage Amazon CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray to highlight best practices for addressing monitoring challenges that most customers face. We showcase an IoT application built using common AWS services, create multiple monitoring challenges, and demonstrate best practices. After the session, we will make demonstration available for you to test using your own AWS account.
