Session Description
  • Build your applications
  • Build your applications

    Modernization with containers and serverless technologies (Level 200)

    Modern applications are built with a combination of modular architecture patterns, serverless operational models, and agile processes. They allow organizations to innovate faster while reducing risk, time to market, and total cost of ownership. In this session, we cover the benefits and wide range of options available with application modernization on AWS using the broad portfolio of container and serverless technologies and how they are used in the key modern application use cases.

    Speaker: Cameron Senese, Principal Container Specialist, AWS


    Deploy containerized web applications in minutes (Level 200)

    In this session, we show you how to build and deploy containerized web applications on AWS App Runner. AWS App Runner simplifies the deployment of web applications and APIs to the cloud, regardless of the programming language used, this means that even teams with no prior experience in container deployment or infrastructure management can easily deploy their applications. Learn how AWS App Runner automatically scales your application based on requests and load-balances traffic, making it ideal for applications that experience unpredictable traffic spikes.

    Speaker: Tuan Huynh, Cloud Application Architect, AWS


    Getting started with serverless applications (Level 200)

    Serverless computing allows you to build and run applications without the need for managing servers. You can develop web, mobile, and IoT backends, run stream processing or big data workloads, run chatbots, and more, without worrying about the infrastructure. In this session, we show you how to get started with serverless computing using AWS Lambda. Discover why serverless is an excellent toolset for experimenting with new ideas and how the modularity and extensibility of serverless applications enable you to start small and quickly add features. We will also introduce you to the broader portfolio of AWS services that can help you build serverless applications with AWS Lambda, including Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, and more. Additionally, we will show you how to build our serverless applications and deploy them via code using AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) tool.

    Speaker: Tomas Mihalyi, Enterprise Support Serverless Specialist, AWS


    Deploy Infrastructure as a Code on AWS (Level 200)

    A new category of tools is emerging that challenges the legacy-centric approach to building modern cloud applications. In addition, the complexity of configuring services, implementing best practices, and securing workloads has led to greater pressure on builders trying to maintain productivity, cost, performance, and time to market. Join this session as we dive into Infrastructure from code, a configuration-free approach that interprets application code, automatically deploys, configures, and optimizes infrastructure to support workloads. Find out how IaC tools from AWS including AWS Cloud Formation and AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) enables seamless integration with development workflow. This session also includes step-by-step demo to help you get started.

    Speaker: Nelli Lovchikova, Solutions Architect Manager, AWS


    Observability for builders (Level 200)

    Observability is a practice that provides builders and developers with better insights into application behavior, enabling earlier identification, and rectification of application defects. In this session, we outline the steps to effective implementation of observability for modern applications. We then walk through how to enhance your application observability. Discover the tools and resources so you are empowered to rapidly identify, diagnose, and remediate application issues. We demonstrate on a Java app how logs, metrics, traces work by default, without any external libraries. The session concludes with the showcase on how to use AWS Lambda Powertools for Java to add logging, metrics, and traces to the application and run log insight queries for common use cases.

    Speaker: Abhishek Gupta, Principal Developer Advocate, AWS India

    Choose the right databases for application modernization (Level 200)

    The idea of one-size-fits-all monolithic database no longer fit today, as more organizations are building highly distributed applications using many purpose-built databases. The world is evolving and the categories of databases continue to grow. We are increasingly seeing customers wanting to build internet-scale applications that require diverse data models. In response to these needs, we offer the choice of key-value, wide column, document, in-memory, graph, time-series, and ledger databases. Each solves a specific problem or group of problems. In this session, learn more about AWS purpose-built databases that meet the scale, performance, and manageability requirements of modern applications.

    Speakers:
    William Wong, Principal Database Solutions Architect, AWS
    Surendar Munimohan, Senior Database Solutions Architect, AWS


    Moving data to AWS - Find the right tool and process (Level 200)

    Finding the right approach of moving data workloads to the cloud can be daunting, but it is critical to ensure organizations can quickly reap the benefits such as increased agility, flexibility, and develop the ability to innovate faster. In this session, we walk you through how to select the right tools, protocols and mechanisms available to move your data efficiently and securely to AWS. We showcase the use of online and offline data transfer methods including AWS DataSync and the AWS Snow Family to accelerate moving your data, from on-prem, edge, and other environments to AWS. The session explores practical use cases, guidance on how to select the suitable methods for your requirements. The session concludes with a demo on how to use AWS DataSync and AWS Snow together.

    Speakers:
    Lily Jang, Storage Business Development Manager, AWS
    Ameen Khan, Storage Specialist Solutions Architect, AWS


    Building your first serverless SaaS applications (Level 200)

    Modern SaaS applications are increasingly reliant on serverless technologies. Serverless aligns naturally to the SaaS value proposition, enabling teams to better align their infrastructure costs with the activity of their system’s tenants. This session will look at how and where serverless constructs can be applied within your SaaS architecture, highlighting the natural fit between the needs of multi-tenant environments and operational/agility goals of SaaS organizations. As part of this, we’ll look at the Serverless SaaS reference architecture, an open source implementation using AWS serverless services built by the AWS SaaS Factory that can be used to build your SaaS business, spanning compute, storage, messaging, and other infrastructure components.

    Speaker: Zp Bappi, Senior Partner Solutions Architect, SaaS Factory, AWS


    Navigating data protection, governance, and digital sovereignty on AWS (Level 100)

    At AWS, we recognize that protecting customer data and earning customer trust and are key priorities for many organizations. This session shares how to build the right strategy that aligns people, processes, and technology to deliver data governance at scale. Understand how AWS configures appropriate access controls, monitors data for compliance, and layers security to protect data against malicious behavior. We also cover the use of leveraging data sovereignty controls and features to allow organizations to meet the evolving regulatory requirements anywhere they operate, without compromising on the capabilities, performance, innovation, and scale of the cloud.

    Speaker: Michael Stringer, Principal Security Solutions Architect, ANZO Public Sector, AWS


    Cloud cost optimization fundamentals (Level 100)

    Builders are constantly looking for solutions to increase efficiency by consolidating and maximizing resource utilization to deploy and scale applications. In this session, understand how to use Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and AWS Fargate - a powerful, cloud native service to create container-based workloads in a matter of minutes without managing the underlying infrastructure. We cover how you can reduce operational overheads from the control plane with Amazon ECS. We then explain the use of containers for bin-packing workloads, outline the various efficient scaling techniques, cost savings plans, blueprints, and how to leverage AWS Graviton to maximize business value while reducing costs.
