At re:Invent 2014, we announced AWS Lambda and ushered in a whole new world of application design, one without the need to manage or think about traditional server infrastructure. Since then, serverless has become one of the hottest topics in the industry. Customers like Capital One and Coca Cola talk about how serverless saved them time and money, helped them reduce their operational burden, and drove developer agility and innovation. What is serverless, and what are the key trends you should be aware of? Where does one start on the journey of building serverless applications? We cover all of this and more in this session.

In this session, we explore landing zone considerations as they apply to compliance and auditing. We include such topics as a repeatable approach to SCP and IAM policy creation, internal separation of duty & "need to know", compliance scope ringfencing, Region scoping, scope of impact limitation, and mandatory access control. We review approaches for log and event analytics and log record lifecycle management (including redaction where necessary) and alerting. We also discuss how compliance assessment tools can be deployed in multi-account environments and their output sensibly interpreted. We encourage you to attend the full AWS Landing Zone track, including SEC303. Search for #awslandingzone in the session catalog.

Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) is a network interface for Amazon EC2 instances that enables customers to run HPC applications requiring high levels of inter-instance communications, like computational fluid dynamics, weather modeling, and reservoir simulation, at scale on AWS. It uses a custom-built operating system bypass technique to enhance the performance of inter-instance communications, which is critical to scaling HPC applications. With EFA, HPC applications using popular HPC technologies like Message Passing Interface (MPI) can scale to thousands of CPU cores. Get a deep dive on EFA and learn how to use EFA to enhance application performance for your HPC workloads.
