AWS re:Invent 2018

Serverless computing allows you to build and run applications and services without thinking about servers. Serverless applications don't require you to provision, scale, and manage any servers. However, under the hood, there is a sophisticated architecture that takes care of all the undifferentiated heavy lifting for the developer. Join Holly Mesrobian, Director of Engineering, and Marc Brooker, Senior Principal of Engineering, to learn how AWS architected one of the fastest-growing AWS services. In this session, we show you how Lambda takes care of everything required to run and scale your code with high availability

Tape backups. Yes, they're still a thing. If you want to stop using tapes but need to store immutable backups for compliance or operational reasons, attend this session to learn how to make an easy switch to a cloud-based virtual tape library (VTL). AWS Storage Gateway provides a seamless drop-in replacement for tape backups with its Tape Gateway. It works with the major backup software products, so you simply change the target for your backups, and they go to a VTL that stores virtual tapes on Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier. Come see how it works.

In this session, we focus on best practices for AWS block and file storage when supporting enterprise workloads (like SAP, Oracle, Microsoft applications, and home directories). We discuss migrating mission-critical workload data, selecting volumes or file systems, optimizing performance, and designing for durability and availability. We also review optimizing for cost to ensure that your lift-and-shift project is a success.

Learn best practices for Amazon S3 performance optimization, security, data protection, storage management, and much more. In this session, we look at common Amazon S3 use cases and ways to manage large volumes of data within Amazon S3. We discuss the latest performance improvements and how they impact previous guidance. We also talk about the Amazon S3 data resilience model and how architecture for the AWS Regions and Availability Zones impact architecture for fault tolerance.

Flexibility is key when building and scaling a data lake. The analytics solutions you use in the future will almost certainly be different from the ones you use today, and choosing the right storage architecture gives you the agility to quickly experiment and migrate with the latest analytics solutions. In this session, we explore best practices for building a data lake in Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier for leveraging an entire array of AWS, open source, and third-party analytics tools. We explore use cases for traditional analytics tools, including Amazon EMR and AWS Glue, as well as query-in-place tools like Amazon Athena, Amazon Redshift Spectrum, Amazon S3 Select, and Amazon Glacier Select.

AWS offers a variety of data migration services and tools to help you easily and rapidly move everything from gigabytes to petabytes of data using your networks, our networks, the mail, or even a tractor trailer. Learn about the available data migration options, including the AWS Snowball family, AWS Storage Gateway, Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration, and other approaches. We provide the guidance to help you find the right service or tool to fit your requirements, and we share examples of customers who have used these options in their cloud journey.

Veeam has made significant enhancements to its platform, focusing on the availability of AWS workloads over the past year. Join this technical deep dive where representatives from Veeam demonstrate how the company protects cloud-native workloads on AWS as well as how they back up to and from on-premises environments. They also discuss data protection for VMware Cloud on AWS. Finally, they review the enhancements to Veeam's Backup and Replication feature set, which now includes cloud mobility to AWS and a cloud archive that leverages Amazon S3 for long-term data retention of backed-up workloads.

Are you dealing with legacy system complexities when integrating your backup and recovery solution with the cloud? Rubrik can help you simplify data protection with its policy-based backup, recovery, and archival capabilities for hybrid applications. In this session, learn how University of California San Diego (UCSD) leverages Rubrik and AWS to help simplify data protection, achieve rapid data recovery, and scale for data growth. Join us to learn how UCSD replaced expensive and unreliable backup tapes with AWS storage, and how to move data to AWS and protect your cloud-native workloads running on AWS. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, Rubrik.

CIOs have realized that it's not a question of cloud or on premises-both are critical weapons for their success. Technology and architecture must facilitate using on premises and public cloud together. But today, that can be a challenge, and nowhere is it more evident than at the data tier. Data is the heart of the application, and if you can't easily bridge and move data between on premises and cloud, making applications portable between the two is nearly impossible. In this session, learn how you can unify on premises and cloud with Pure Storage, making it possible to truly run a hybrid cloud storage architecture. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, Pure Storage.

As your data stores grow, managing and operating on your stored objects becomes increasingly difficult to scale. In this session, AWS experts demonstrate Amazon S3 features you can use to perform and manage operations across any number of objects, from hundreds to billions, stored in Amazon S3. Learn how to monitor performance, ensure compliance, automate actions, and optimize storage across all your Amazon S3 objects. We also provide relevant use cases that demonstrate the full range of Amazon S3 capabilities and options, such as copying objects across buckets to create development environments, restricting access to sensitive data, or restoring many objects from Amazon Glacier.
