AWS Cloud Center Excellence Quick Start Prescriptive GuidanceTom Laszewski
This presentation is a practical playbook for defining, establishing, and implementing a Cloud Enablement Engine (CEE). It collates and summarizes the lessons learned and anti-patterns gathered from the CEE journeys successfully navigated at Amazon and other large enterprise companies. A lot has been written about the need to establish a CEE, the benefits of moving to a productization mindset, and the business value of tribes, guilds, and two-pizza teams. However, larger organizations are still struggling with a CEE 30-60-90 day plan, and the essential components of the CEE during its first six months in existence.
The prescriptive guidance in this presentation provides pragmatic and tactical advice for establishing a Cloud Enablement Engine (CEE) – also referred to as a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) or Cloud Enablement Team. This presentation serves as a step-by-step guide for the initial setup activities, and the top ten best practices that have been extrapolated from working across a large number of customers. What not to do is as important as what to do. Therefore, the top ten anti-patterns are discussed.
A key focus of the CEE is transforming the IT organization from an on-premise operating model to a Cloud Operating Model (COM). The transformation to COM and the charter of a CEE are highly correlated and interconnected. During the nascent stage of the CEE, the focus of the CEE will be on the infrastructure components of a COM. This includes the operations, security & control, platform architecture & governance, and infrastructure provisioning & configuration management functions. AWS understands that enterprise (on-premises) operating models are based on ITIL. Therefore, the cloud transformation from an on-premises operating model to a COM will include mapping ITIL to a cloud, agile, and DevOps based capabilities and processes. Fortunately, ITIL 4.0 embraces DevOps, cloud, and agile.
Cloud adoption requires that fundamental changes are considered across the entire organization, and that stakeholders across all organizational units are engaged in these changes. This session will introduce participants to the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) to help organizations take an accelerated path to successful cloud adoption. Participants will be exposed to consideration, guidance, and best practices that can be used to help their organizations develop an efficient and effective plan to realize measurable business benefits from cloud adoption faster and with less risk.
More and more enterprise companies are migrating to the AWS Cloud and there are a number of reasons why. While every organization is going to have their own unique motivations, common drivers include exiting data centers, increasing business agility, improving workforce productivity, gaining transparency in operational costs and reducing risk.
The AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) is designed to help enterprises that are committed to a migration journey achieve a range of these business benefits by migrating existing workloads to Amazon Web Services. In this session, you will learn about proven migration patterns, methods and tools that AWS has delivered successfully to hundreds of enterprise customers globally that will help you accelerate migrations, reduce risk and quickly realize value.
Implementing a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) promotes a seamless transition to the cloud for any organization. Cloud adoption includes communicating a new strategic direction, involving stakeholders from across the organization, identifying skill gaps, identifying key team members, and establishing a realistic roadmap. JHC Technology presents how organizations can manage, evaluate, automate, and continuously spur cloud adoption through repeatability, allowing the organization to deploy innovation today and be ready for whatever comes tomorrow. As part of this discussion we will review the framework necessary to identify AWS Partners that can provide the best value to your organization.

Modernising the Enterprise: An Evening with the AWS Enterprise User GroupHarley Young
The French aristocrat, writer, and aviator, Antoine De Saint-Exupery most famously wrote The Little Prince. He's also credited with the following quote, "If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men and women to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." Cloud modernisation is a little bit like building that ship. You can't merely command an organisation to pick up its applications and move to the cloud. Instead, you must teach them to yearn for the vast and endless potential the cloud provides to build whatever they can imagine for their business.
In the presentation, I explain a 5-step approach that has been used to transform and modernise some of the world's most successful businesses in nearly all imaginable industry verticals as they contemplated a move to the AWS cloud:
1. Know your business
2. Understand your environment
3. Prepare the organisation
4. Move the first workloads to the cloud
5. Get help when you need it
1. Cloud Adoption Journey reference framework to help Teams move to Cloud and become Cloud Native
2. Define basic Pillars to include Security & Compliance, Costs Optimization, Scalability and Performance as well as Operational Excellence, AWS Well-Architected as guidance
3. Goal is to assess and guide Companies/Teams in Portfolio to faster adopt and evolve Cloud concepts to focus on Business value
4. Governance as a key driver to boost flexibility, reduce risks and foster efficiency
5. Enterprise Transformation Architecture offerings
How to Drive Maximum Business Value from IT Investments with the Flow FrameworkTasktop
When organizations connect and measure the impact of their IT investments on the business’ strategy, business and technology leaders are able to partner more effectively and accelerate the delivery of real business value.

Enterprise DevOps: Begin with Production-Ready Migration (ENT217-R1) - AWS re...Amazon Web Services
DevOps is a powerful movement that can help enterprises speed up their rate of innovation. But many customers think DevOps can work only with their cloud-native applications. Enterprise DevOps is a set of best practices anchored by real-life customer experiences that enable large organizations to apply the speed and agility of DevOps to all of their applications without sacrificing security and compliance. And it all begins with production-ready migration. In this session, you learn 1) how to execute your migration with successful ongoing operations in mind, 2) how to integrate existing operational models (e.g., ITIL) with modern cloud best practices (e.g., DevOps), and 3) how enterprises like National Australia Bank are leveraging the Enterprise DevOps framework to run their business.
Cloud Technology Partners’ (a premier consulting partner and part of APN) practice leader Robert Christiansen provides an overview of why Financial Services organizations are looking to migrate to the cloud and the kinds of benefits current adopters are realizing. In this presentation, he outlines best practices, which include alignment workshops, decision-making processes, cloud business office, inclusive business case, dependency discovery, solutions iterations, security assessments, continuous governance, automation and validation, and preparation for migration at scale.

Hybrid Cloud on AWS : Provisioning, Operations, Management, and Monitoring Tom Laszewski
How do I provision infrastructure and applications, manage systems, and operate and monitor a Hybrid Cloud on AWS is one of the first questions I get from enterprise customers as they start their cloud adoption journey. This presentations covers the tools, technologies, and AWS Services that can be used to manage, operate, and monitor a hybrid cloud. It also covers CI/CD in a hybrid cloud environment.
Application Modernization using the Strangler PatternTom Laszewski
Modernization of applications on mainframe and UNIX servers can be challenging because the applications and databases are highly integrated and interdependent. Utilizing the strangler pattern, organizations can break free of legacy debt on mainframe and UNIX systems. This presentations discusses the strangler pattern, and how enterprise customers utilized the pattern to move to AWS serverless services and cloud native architectures.

Building a Hybrid Cloud Architecture Utilizing AWS Landing ZonesTom Laszewski
Application modernization projects with AWS start with creating an AWS Landing Zone. Based on AWS best practices, AWS Landing Zones help ensure a secure, performant, highly available, and cost-efficient AWS environment. Common hybrid cloud use cases, such as cloud migration, data center extension, disaster recovery, cloud bursting, and edge computing, require data integration, operations management and monitoring, security, and networking as the foundational components of a hybrid cloud architecture. In this session, we dive deep on the networking, security, account management structure, operating management, and monitoring best practices to build your own AWS Landing Zone that can be extended into your data center. AWS partner, GreenPages, demonstrates a repeatable hybrid cloud architecture to secure, manage, and integrate your network across on-premises and multiple AWS regions using an AWS Landing Zone. AWS customer, Finch Therapeutics, then discusses how the company utilized the GreenPages hybrid cloud reference implementation to deploy, secure, and manage its hybrid cloud environment.
From Monolithic to Modern Apps: Best PracticesTom Laszewski
We are a lean team consisting of developers, lead architects, business analysts, and a project manager. To scale our applications and optimize costs, we need to reduce the amount of undifferentiated heavy lifting (e.g., patching, server management) from our projects. We have identified AWS serverless services that we will use. However, we need approval from a security and cost perspective. We need to build a business case to justify this paradigm shift for our entire technology organization. In this session, we learn to migrate existing applications and build a strategy and financial model to lay the foundation to build everything in a truly serverless way on AWS.
Operating in a hybrid architecture is a step in the cloud adoption journey for many organizations that have on-premises technology investments. Migrating legacy IT systems takes time, and can be disruptive to current processes, organizational structure, and culture. AWS has developed a broad set of hybrid cloud capabilities across storage, networking, security, application deployment, and management tools to help you build and operate a secure, performant, reliable, and scalable hybrid cloud. Join this tech talk to learn how customers are leveraging AWS hybrid cloud capabilities for cloud bursting and integrating devices and edge systems. The webinar will start with a review of customer success stories for datacenter capacity extension, delivery of new services and applications, and ensuring business continuity and disaster recovery, as well as covering the configuration of a hybrid cloud landing zone.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
