30 mins Transform with Microsoft on AWS (Level 200)
Speaker: Steven Bryen
According to IDC, nearly 60 percent of Windows servers in the public cloud run on AWS. In this session, you learn how to run Microsoft solutions on AWS, hear about key innovations, learn how to optimise licensing, and learn how to reduce end-of-support risk for Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008. Come hear how leveraging these services for Microsoft on AWS can help you free up time to focus on transforming your workloads.
5 mins Break 30 mins Accelerate innovation with hybrid capabilities and infrastructures (Level 300)
Speaker: Ricardo Suieras
Businesses are adopting the cloud to accelerate innovation and drive new value for their customers. But for many organizations, this means having to balance managing existing workloads with creating new modern applications that fully leverage the cloud. In this session, we discuss how businesses are seeking to create hybrid architectures that allow them to integrate their on-premises and cloud workloads using a common set of cloud services and tools across both environments. You learn about AWS hybrid cloud services and the hybrid architectures that you can build. Additionally, we share use cases and give examples of customers who are already using these services.
5 mins Break
30 mins Blending Spot and On-Demand Instances and optimizing costs (Level 200)
Speaker: Cobus Bernard
It’s now easier than ever to grow your compute capacity and enable new types of cloud computing applications while maintaining the lowest TCO. You can achieve this by blending Amazon EC2 Spot, On-Demand, and Reserved Instance purchase models.

15 mins Break 45 mins Towards operational excellence (Level 200)
Speaker: Adrian Hornsby
Once a system is designed, implemented, and tested, we encounter two of the hardest aspects in its lifecycle: bringing it to life and sustaining it in operations. In this session, we discuss operational excellence. We focus on the three interconnecting elements that enable you to successfully operate the technology you’ve built: culture, tools, and processes.
5 mins Break 30 mins Migrate your enterprise applications to the cloud (Level 200)
Speaker: Ricardo Suieras
Business depends on enterprise applications, and these enterprise workloads, such as SAP, high performance computing, and machine learning, are migrating to the cloud and taking advantage of its benefits. More of these workloads run on AWS than any other cloud. In this session, discover why this is the case, and learn the best practices we have developed while migrating those workloads to AWS across enterprises of all sizes.

30 mins Raw data to business insights: What you need to build a modern data lake (Level 200)
Speaker: Javier Ramirez
You have lots of data, and analyzing data from multiple sources at scale requires a central repository or data lake. But how will you move data into it? In which format? How will you validate and prepare the data? What about streaming data? Can data scientists discover and use the data? Can business people create reports via drag and drop? Can operations monitor what’s going on? Will the data lake scale when you have twice as much data? Is your data secure? In this session, we address common pitfalls of building data lakes and show how AWS can help you manage data and analytics more efficiently.
5 mins Break 30 mins Best practices for implementing a data lake in Amazon S3 (Level 200)
Speaker: Kumar Nachiketa
Flexibility is key when building and scaling data lakes, and by choosing the right storage architecture, you can have the agility necessary to quickly experiment and migrate with the latest analytics solutions. In this session, we explore the best practices for building a data lake on Amazon S3, which allow you to leverage an entire array of AWS, open-source, and third-party analytics tools, helping you remain at the cutting edge. We explore use cases for analytics tools, including Amazon EMR and AWS Glue, and query-in-place tools like Amazon Athena, Amazon Redshift Spectrum, Amazon S3 Select, and Amazon S3 Glacier Select.
5 mins Break
30 mins Move to managed databases (Level 200)
Speaker: John Winford
Self-managing databases, either on premises or in the cloud, can be time-consuming, complex, and expensive. With AWS fully managed database services, such as Amazon RDS, Amazon ElastiCache, and Amazon DocumentDB, you don’t need to worry about server provisioning, patching, setup, configuration, backups, or recovery. Instead, you can spend time innovating and building new applications and leave the infrastructure management to AWS. Attend this session to learn how AWS databases can help you easily maintain infrastructure and break free from managing legacy systems, all while delivering operational efficiency, performance, availability, scalability, security, and compliance.
15 mins Break 45 mins Modernize your data warehouse (Level 200)
Speaker: Aneesh PN Chandra
Cloud data warehouses are less expensive, easier to use, and faster than on-premises data warehouses, and they have an easy migration process that leverages SQL skills. In this session, learn about the “lake house” approach, the approach that AWS recommends for data warehousing that combines the best of both a data warehouse and a data lake approach to analytics. Learn how you can migrate to the cloud, unlock better performance, and increase functionality while reducing your expenditure.
5 mins Break 30 mins Streaming and real-time analytics (Level 300)
Speaker: Donnie Prakoso

5 mins Break 30 mins Kubernetes GitOps on AWS (Level 300)
Speaker: Jason Umiker
GitOps is an approach where infrastructure as code lives alongside your application in the same Git repository, and any changes are automatically deployed when they’re merged there. This session demonstrates how to implement this approach for AWS managed backend resources together with front-end services running on Kubernetes out of the same Git repository. You learn how AWS resources are deployed and managed in an automated way and deployed on Kubernetes via Flux.

5 mins Break
30 mins Application integration patterns for microservices (Level 300)
Speaker: Anshul Sharma
When you have a microservices architectural style, much of the communication between components is done over the network. In order to achieve what microservices promise, this communication must happen in a loosely coupled manner. In this session, we discuss some fundamental application integration patterns mostly based on messaging, and we connect them to real-world use cases in a microservices scenario. We also highlight the benefits that asynchronous messaging can have over REST APIs for communication between microservices.
15 mins Break 45 mins Event-driven architecture (Level 300)
Speaker: Danilo Poccia
Event-driven architecture is common in modern applications built with microservices. It uses events to trigger and communicate between decoupled services.
