Featured Sessions

AWS Fargate Platform Version 1.4, Massimo Re Ferre, Principal Developer Advocate

In this session we will go through a brief introduction of AWS Fargate, what it is, its relation to EKS and ECS and the problems it addresses for customers. We will later introduce the concept of Fargate “platform versions” and we will then dive deeper into the new features that the new platform version 1.4 enables.

Machine Learning on Amazon EKS, Mike Stefaniak, Sr Product Manager, EKS & Jiaxin Shan, Software Development Engineer

Amazon EKS has quickly emerged as a leading choice for machine learning workloads. In this session, we’ll walk through some of the recent ML related enhancements the Kubernetes team at AWS has released. We will then dive deep with walkthroughs of how to optimize your machine learning workloads on Amazon EKS, including demos of the latest features we’ve contributed to popular open source projects like Spark and Kubeflow.

Deep Dive on Amazon ECS Capacity Providers, Pavneet Ahluwalia, Sr Product Manager, ECS & Adam Keller, Developer Advocate

In this talk, we’ll dive into the different ways that ECS Capacity Providers can enable teams to focus more on their core business, and less on the infrastructure behind the scenes. We’ll look at the benefits and discuss scenarios where Capacity Providers can help solve the problems that customers face when using container orchestration. Lastly, we’ll review what features have been released with Capacity Providers, as well as look ahead at what’s to come.

Amazon ECS CLI V2, David Killmon, Sr Software Dev Engineer & Efe Karakus, Software Engineer

The hard part’s done. You and your team has spent weeks pouring over pull requests, building micro-services and containerizing them. Congrats! But what do you do now? How do you get those services on AWS? The ECS CLI v2 is a new command line tool that makes building, developing and operating containerized apps on AWS a breeze. In this talk, we’ll talk about how the ECS CLI v2 helps you and your team set up modern applications that follow AWS best practices

We hope you’ll be able to join us on the 9th, but if you’re unable to, recordings and slides will be available after the event. See you in July!
