Come costruire servizi di Forecasting sfruttando algoritmi di ML e deep learn...Amazon Web Services
Il Forecasting è un processo importante per tantissime aziende e viene utilizzato in vari ambiti per cercare di prevedere in modo accurato la crescita e distribuzione di un prodotto, l’utilizzo delle risorse necessarie nelle linee produttive, presentazioni finanziarie e tanto altro. Amazon utilizza delle tecniche avanzate di forecasting, in parte questi servizi sono stati messi a disposizione di tutti i clienti AWS.
In questa sessione illustreremo come pre-processare i dati che contengono una componente temporale e successivamente utilizzare un algoritmo che a partire dal tipo di dato analizzato produce un forecasting accurato.
Big Data per le Startup: come creare applicazioni Big Data in modalità Server...Amazon Web Services
La varietà e la quantità di dati che si crea ogni giorno accelera sempre più velocemente e rappresenta una opportunità irripetibile per innovare e creare nuove startup.
Tuttavia gestire grandi quantità di dati può apparire complesso: creare cluster Big Data su larga scala sembra essere un investimento accessibile solo ad aziende consolidate. Ma l’elasticità del Cloud e, in particolare, i servizi Serverless ci permettono di rompere questi limiti.
Vediamo quindi come è possibile sviluppare applicazioni Big Data rapidamente, senza preoccuparci dell’infrastruttura, ma dedicando tutte le risorse allo sviluppo delle nostre le nostre idee per creare prodotti innovativi.
Ora puoi utilizzare Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) per eseguire pod Kubernetes su AWS Fargate, il motore di elaborazione serverless creato per container su AWS. Questo rende più semplice che mai costruire ed eseguire le tue applicazioni Kubernetes nel cloud AWS.In questa sessione presenteremo le caratteristiche principali del servizio e come distribuire la tua applicazione in pochi passaggi
Vent'anni fa Amazon ha attraversato una trasformazione radicale con l'obiettivo di aumentare il ritmo dell'innovazione. In questo periodo abbiamo imparato come cambiare il nostro approccio allo sviluppo delle applicazioni ci ha permesso di aumentare notevolmente l'agilità, la velocità di rilascio e, in definitiva, ci ha consentito di creare applicazioni più affidabili e scalabili. In questa sessione illustreremo come definiamo le applicazioni moderne e come la creazione di app moderne influisce non solo sull'architettura dell'applicazione, ma sulla struttura organizzativa, sulle pipeline di rilascio dello sviluppo e persino sul modello operativo. Descriveremo anche approcci comuni alla modernizzazione, compreso l'approccio utilizzato dalla stessa Amazon.com.
Come spendere fino al 90% in meno con i container e le istanze spot Amazon Web Services
L’utilizzo dei container è in continua crescita.
Se correttamente disegnate, le applicazioni basate su Container sono molto spesso stateless e flessibili.
I servizi AWS ECS, EKS e Kubernetes su EC2 possono sfruttare le istanze Spot, portando ad un risparmio medio del 70% rispetto alle istanze On Demand. In questa sessione scopriremo insieme quali sono le caratteristiche delle istanze Spot e come possono essere utilizzate facilmente su AWS. Impareremo inoltre come Spreaker sfrutta le istanze spot per eseguire applicazioni di diverso tipo, in produzione, ad una frazione del costo on-demand!

OpsWorks Configuration Management: automatizza la gestione e i deployment del...Amazon Web Services
Con l'approccio tradizionale al mondo IT per molti anni è stato difficile implementare tecniche di DevOps, che finora spesso hanno previsto attività manuali portando di tanto in tanto a dei downtime degli applicativi interrompendo l'operatività dell'utente. Con l'avvento del cloud, le tecniche di DevOps sono ormai a portata di tutti a basso costo per qualsiasi genere di workload, garantendo maggiore affidabilità del sistema e risultando in dei significativi miglioramenti della business continuity.
AWS mette a disposizione AWS OpsWork come strumento di Configuration Management che mira ad automatizzare e semplificare la gestione e i deployment delle istanze EC2 per mezzo di workload Chef e Puppet.
Scopri come sfruttare AWS OpsWork a garanzia e affidabilità del tuo applicativo installato su Instanze EC2.

Amazon Web Services e VMware organizzano un evento virtuale gratuito il prossimo mercoledì 14 Ottobre dalle 12:00 alle 13:00 dedicato a VMware Cloud ™ on AWS, il servizio on demand che consente di eseguire applicazioni in ambienti cloud basati su VMware vSphere® e di accedere ad una vasta gamma di servizi AWS, sfruttando a pieno le potenzialità del cloud AWS e tutelando gli investimenti VMware esistenti.
Molte organizzazioni sfruttano i vantaggi del cloud migrando i propri carichi di lavoro Oracle e assicurandosi notevoli vantaggi in termini di agilità ed efficienza dei costi.
La migrazione di questi carichi di lavoro, può creare complessità durante la modernizzazione e il refactoring delle applicazioni e a questo si possono aggiungere rischi di prestazione che possono essere introdotti quando si spostano le applicazioni dai data center locali.
Crea la tua prima serverless ledger-based app con QLDB e NodeJSAmazon Web Services
Molte aziende oggi, costruiscono applicazioni con funzionalità di tipo ledger ad esempio per verificare lo storico di accrediti o addebiti nelle transazioni bancarie o ancora per tenere traccia del flusso supply chain dei propri prodotti.
Alla base di queste soluzioni ci sono i database ledger che permettono di avere un log delle transazioni trasparente, immutabile e crittograficamente verificabile, ma sono strumenti complessi e onerosi da gestire.
Amazon QLDB elimina la necessità di costruire sistemi personalizzati e complessi fornendo un database ledger serverless completamente gestito.
In questa sessione scopriremo come realizzare un'applicazione serverless completa che utilizzi le funzionalità di QLDB.
Con l’ascesa delle architetture di microservizi e delle ricche applicazioni mobili e Web, le API sono più importanti che mai per offrire agli utenti finali una user experience eccezionale. In questa sessione impareremo come affrontare le moderne sfide di progettazione delle API con GraphQL, un linguaggio di query API open source utilizzato da Facebook, Amazon e altro e come utilizzare AWS AppSync, un servizio GraphQL serverless gestito su AWS. Approfondiremo diversi scenari, comprendendo come AppSync può aiutare a risolvere questi casi d’uso creando API moderne con funzionalità di aggiornamento dati in tempo reale e offline.
Inoltre, impareremo come Sky Italia utilizza AWS AppSync per fornire aggiornamenti sportivi in tempo reale agli utenti del proprio portale web.
