AWS Speaker: Glenn Gore, AWS Worldwide Lead Architect

Chalk Talk Title	Chalk Talk Session Description	AWS Speaker	Session Level
Chalk Talk 1: SRV201 - Reactive Microservices with AWS Lambda	In this talk, we cover the concepts of reactive microservices architecture, a set of patterns and best practices for implementing backend systems with very high scaling and availability guarantees. We show you how to implement these patterns and best practices as serverless applications using AWS technologies like AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon Kinesis. In addition, we demonstrate a serverless microservice and the pitfalls to consider when running these microservices in a production environment.	Lu Hong (Software Development Engineer)	200 Introductory
Chalk Talk 2: AIM358 - Human-in-the-Loop for Machine Learning	Businesses can benefit from both the efficiency of machine learning (ML) as well as the quality of human judgement. An increasing part of the ML solution is human-in-the-loop (HITL), where human feedback is provided to evaluate the output of ML algorithms, i.e., to determine its validity and help refine the result. An example is image classification, where the task might be too ambiguous for a purely mechanical solution and too vast for even a large team of human experts. In this session, learn how to effectively incorporate human-in-the-loop in your ML projects to achieve higher accuracy and better results with Amazon Mechanical Turk (Mechanical Turk).	Trenton Lipscomb (Principal Engineer)	300 Advanced
Chalk Talk 3: CON410 - Deep Dive into Container Networking	Building microservices lets you decouple parts of your application so you can develop and deploy code faster. But once your microservices are running, how do you ensure they can seamlessly communicate with each other? In this session, we dive deep into microservices networking. We discuss how you can build, secure, and manage the communications into, out of, and between the various microservices that make up your application. We also cover key topics like service discovery, deployments, latency, and service mesh.	Anirudh Aithal (Sr. Software Dev Engineer)	400 Expert
Chalk Talk 4: SEC204 - Well-Architected for Security	Security is an ongoing effort. In this session, we discuss best practice guidance for architecting secure systems on AWS, including identity and access management, traceability, automation, data protection, and incident response. The Well-Architected framework has been developed to help cloud architects build the most secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure possible for their applications. This framework provides a consistent approach for customers and partners to evaluate architectures, and provides guidance to help implement designs that will scale with your application needs over time.	Ben Potter (Security Lead Well-Architected)	200 Introductory
Chalk Talk 5: ARC304 - Architecture Patterns of Serverless Microservices	In this chalk talk, we describe the architecture patterns you can use to deploy serverless microservices, the design considerations, and best practices.	Sri Nannapaneni (Solutions Architect) and Xiang Shen (Solutions Architect)	300 Advanced
Chalk Talk 6: DAT363 - Amazon Aurora Storage Demystified: How It All Works	Amazon Aurora is a high performance, highly scalable database service with MySQL- and PostgreSQL-compatibility. One of its key components is an innovative storage system that is optimized for database workloads and specifically designed to take advantage of modern cloud technology. Hear from the team that built Amazon Aurora's storage system on how the system is designed, how it works, and what you need to know to get the most out of it.	Murali Brahmadesam (Director of Engineering)	300 Advanced
Chalk Talk 7: DEV307 - Serverless Application Debugging and Delivery Best Practices	Moving from traditional enterprise applications to serverless applications shouldn’t mean you have to make sacrifices in your development release process. In this talk, we show you how to bring traditional debugging and deployment practices to your AWS Lambda based applications. Using the AWS Cloud9 IDE, we will set breakpoints that enable us to debug our application and follow the call path into the function code. We will install best practices by writing unit tests for our functions and then establish a release pipeline with AWS CodeStar that invokes those tests when we release application into testing or production. We will then use AWS X-Ray to trace and debug our distributed application in production.	Steve Mayszak (Software Development Manager) and Sanath Kumar Ramesh (Software Development Engineer)	300 Advanced
Chalk Talk 8: ANT360 - Don’t Wait Until Tomorrow: From Batch to Streaming	In recent years, there has been explosive growth in the number of connected devices and real-time data sources. Data is being produced continuously and its production rate is accelerating. Businesses can no longer wait for hours or days to use this data. To gain the most valuable insights, they must use this data immediately so they can react quickly to new information. In this chalk talk, we discuss how to take advantage of streaming data sources to analyze and react in near-real time. In addition, we present different options for how to solve a real-world scenario and walk through those solutions.	Jeremy Zigmond (Principal Solutions Architect)	300 Advanced
Chalk Talk 9: NET405 - Planning Advanced AWS Networking Architectures	Networking is the foundation supporting many applications and services on AWS. As such, it is one of the first and most important things to consider when architecting with AWS. In this session, we discuss planning for your advanced AWS networking architectures.	Nick Matthews (Principal Solutions Architect) and Matt Lehwess (Principal Solutions Architect)	400 Expert
