executes your batch
computing workloads
● Fully managed
● No additional charge

AWS Step Functions
● Amazon States Language (https://states-language.net/spec.html)
"HelloWorld": {
"Type": "Task",
"Resource": "arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:123456789012:function:HelloWorld",
"Next": "NextState",
"Comment": "Executes the HelloWorld Lambda function"
}
● Step Functions := microservice + distributed apps + visual workflow.
● SWF (Simple Workflow) killer.
● Service limits.
● Tokyo region!

● Run applications and services without having to manage infrastructure.
● No longer have to provision, scale, and maintain servers to run your
applications, databases, and storage systems.

Lambda@Edge
● Lambda functions’ invocation at the Edge (CloudFront).
● For inspection and alteration of HTTP headers, access control (requiring
certain cookies to be present), device detection, A/B testing, expedited or
special handling for crawlers or ‘bots, and URL rewriting.
● Limits:
VS

AWS Snowball Edge
Petabyte-scale data transport with on-board storage and compute
● 100TB per edge.

AWS Snowmobile
● Up to 100PB, bigger than
Snowball [Edge], and much
mobile (because it’s a truck).
● Load data S3 or Glacier.
● Thinking about migrating your
data center to AWS? Try this!
● Unfortunately, US only.

PostgreSQL “Compatible” Aurora
● 2x the performance of PostgreSQL.
● pgSQL and PostGIS.
● Aurora: 10GB to 64TB w/o pre-provisioning; 6 copies across 3 AZ; read with
up to 15 replicas; ...

DevOps
● Building software is a mindset not a skillset.
● Development and operations teams are no longer siloed.

AWS Organizations
● Centrally manage groups of accounts.
● Control individual account permissions at scale.
● Automate AWS account creation.
● Simplify billing --- consolidated billing for groups of accounts.
● Free!

AWS CodeBuild
● Lightweight Jenkins, focusing on building.
● Managed building environment, configurations, and other build specs.
● Repo: GitHub, AWS CodeCommit, S3.
● Env: Android, Java, Python, Go, Node.js or Docker. (Others are erased)

Amazon AppStream 2.0
● Stream your Windows applications to any
devices.
● HTML5 browser/player.
● AppStream STreaming eXperience (STX)
:= H.264 + Opus + (HLS?).
● No DRM but HTTPS.
● Competitor to VMFive, Ubitus, … ?!

AWS Greengrass
● Running AWS Lambda functions across the cloud and IoT devices.
● Partners: Intel, Qualcomm and Canonical.

Insights
● AWS is really smart to pick what to develop. (Nearly) every service has
potential clients and (MVP) spec confirmed before it is launched. That is, you
can say AWS is not a creative company, but more like a customer-oriented
service provider.
● AWS prefers to provide fundamental services than complete functional
services.
Ex, multi-CDN proposal; QuickSight costs 1/10th
; CloudWatch vs Datadog.
● Microservice/serverless/Lambda is still quite hot. Lambda function is extended
to IoT, Snowball, Alexa, CF Edge with integration of Batch and Step
Functions. And rumor has it that Lambda would penetrate into more services.
● Amazon Echo-like hand-free IoT is not here yet because of Chinese.

What’s next?
Deeper AWS sharing:
● Content Delivery & Video Streaming.
● Serverless Computing.
● Databases.
● Big Data & Machine Learning.
● You name it...
AWS MiniCon!
