Enabling Business Agility and Innovation with AWS
- 1. Bangalore
- 2. Agility and Innovation Enabling Business Glenn Gore, Senior Manager, Solution Architects – APAC, Amazon Web Services
- 3. we will share organization and mechanisms used by AWS do try this at home.
- 4. “Want to increase innovation? Lower the cost of failure" Joi Ito, Director MIT Media Lab
- 6. culture is the principal component in speed of innovation
- 7. A Rapid Pace of Innovation Since inception AWS has: • Introduced over 35 major new services • Announced 45 price reductions 24 48 61 82 159 280 2014: 290 New Features and Services Since January
- 8. amazon leadership principles http://bit.ly/leadershipValues
- 9. customer obsession think big bias for action ownership insist on highest standards invent and simplify hire and develop the best right, a lot vocally self critical frugality earn trust dive deep have backbone; disagree & commit deliver results
- 10. if you want something done right … create a single-threaded team
- 11. two pizza teams
- 12. At Amazon, we always work backwards from the customer.
- 13. each new idea, starts with a write-up of a press release / FAQ that helps capture the customer perspective of the problem we are trying to solve.
- 14. this process helps us exercise customer obsession by compelling us to put on the shoes of the customers and see the story from a customer’s perspective.
- 15. It helps us understand the problem we are trying to solve, and if it is worth solving.
- 16. We eat our own dog food, which enables us to put ourselves in the shoes of the customers, and again, compels us to be vocally self-critical to innovate on behalf of our customers.
- 17. Development + Operations = Old Guard DevOps (1+1=3)
- 18. old cycle
- 19. CONTINUOUS DEPLOYMENT SMALL, FREQUENT CHANGES CONSTANTLY INTEGRATING INTO PRODUCTION.
- 20. new cycle
- 21. 11.6s Mean time between deployments (weekday) 1,079 Max number of deployments in a single hour 10,000 Mean number of hosts simultaneously receiving a deployment 30,000 Max number of hosts simultaneously receiving a deployment DEPLOYMENTS AT AMAZON.COM
- 22. Automated Rollbacks and Health Checks
- 23. SOFTWARE DEPLOY ≠ PRODUCT LAUNCH
- 25. Unleashing Creativity What if we re-invent… How we gather, analyze, and share financial information?
- 26. “The move to AWS will create new opportunities. We feel that, combined, it will contribute $100 million in infrastructure cost savings that we’ll reinvest in product innovation.” Stephen Orban, CIO Dow Jones
- 27. Unleashing Creativity What if we re-invent… How we manage clinical trials to get drugs to patients faster?
- 28. Finish compute-intensive clinical trial simulations in 1.2 hours, rather than 60 hours 98% faster
- 29. Unleashing Creativity What if we re-invent… The way we explore other planets?
- 31. Driving Innovation & Agility The Lean Enterprise
- 33. “Next Frontiers for Lean” McKinsey Quarterly, February 2014 Lean Manufacturing Lean Services Process Lean Innovation
- 35. 1. Focus on a simple implementation of your idea
- 36. 1. Focus on a simple implementation of your idea 2. Start with a minimal core set of features
- 37. 1. Focus on a simple implementation of your idea 2. Start with a minimal core set of features 3. Release and listen to your users, then learn & iterate Minimum Viable Product
- 38. MVP Smallest thing I can do to test my idea?
- 39. It should validate ideas & enable you to fail forward faster
- 41. Decouple into small building blocks ‘Loosely Coupled Systems’ The looser they are coupled, the bigger they scale, the more fault tolerant they get, the less dependencies, the faster you innovate.
- 42. 250 Services… 250 teams / startups all iterating at once towards specific metrics & performance using lean principles & agile development = faster innovation, more agility
- 43. f(innovation) = (org * arch) (mechanisms * culture)
- 44. “Cloud is like a fertilizer that creates Startups” Eric Ries
Editor's Notes
- no script
- no script
- We believe in DevOps. Our developers own operations, and the entire release cycle. Rather than slinging code over to an ops team, our developers own any issues in production caused by their code.

- * continuous deployment, autoamated rollbacks and health checks
- Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) is a global biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering, developing and delivering innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases. BMS used AWS to build a secure, self-provisioning portal for hosting research so scientists can run clinical trial simulations on-demand while BMS is able to establish rules that keep compute costs low. Compute-intensive clinical trial simulations that previously took 60 hours are finished in only 1.2 hours on the AWS Cloud. Running simulations 98% faster has led to more efficient and less costly clinical trials and better conditions for patients.
- By 2005 Amazon had learned a lot about what a scalable web architecture should look like. This slide lists some of our takeaways were at that point. Because many of the engineers that are building the AWS utility services have spent time in the retail side of the business you will notice lots of these philosophies embodied in the various AWS services.
