Building a Culture of Innovation at Amazon: Driving Customer SuccessAmazon Web Services
Customers often ask us how they can innovate "like Amazon". From its humble beginnings as a startup in a garage, Amazon has not only innovated across e-commerce, but also introduced new, diverse businesses beyond e-commerce. Over the years, Amazon has improved its ability to take on hard problems and find innovative ways to solve them. AWS is one such example. We have taken something as central and specialized as operating a data center, and pushed it to the edge as a utility. When technology becomes a utility, it becomes ubiquitous, allowing more people to participate in innovation. This talk discusses how Amazon approaches innovation with its mechanisms, architecture, culture, and organization.

Trends in Digital Transformation (ARC212) - AWS re:Invent 2018Amazon Web Services
As industries digitally transform their existing business models to fend off competitors or disrupt new markets, they find their IT to be a limiting factor. In this session, we cover the trends of disruptions and opportunities of digital transformation, and the evolution of IT monoliths to microservices and now cloud native services. We also explore dependency management, or “lock in,” through a “choosing, using, and losing” mental model. Finally, we explore chaos architecture as an evolving method for exposing weaknesses before they become real problems.
Does this scenario sound familiar? You have taken on a project that can solve a core challenge that can provide measurable value to your business. It's an exciting opportunity to learn and grow, but that excitement quickly turns to anxiety as you are confronted with a list of unknowns and questions. Answering these questions, if they ever get solved completely, can be done in a myriad of ways. As new projects and challenges come along, the same questions and anxieties surface. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Analysis paralysis leads to projects getting forced on to legacy architectures, deliver results that are "good enough", or stop projects before they get started. This session will illustrate how adopting an agile mindset to cloud adoption can end this cycle and meet your business needs.

Business Process Automation Using Crowdsourcing (AIM352) - AWS re:Invent 2018Amazon Web Services
While technology continues to improve, there are still many things that human beings can do much more effectively than computers, such as performing data deduplication or content moderation. Traditionally, such tasks have been accomplished by hiring a large temporary workforce—which is time consuming, expensive, and difficult to scale—or have gone undone. However, businesses or developers can use Amazon Mechanical Turk (Mechanical Turk) to access thousands of on-demand workers—and then integrate the results of that work directly into their business processes and systems. In this session, learn how enterprises are using Mechanical Turk to scale and automate their human-powered workflow.
How do I grow with my organization and meet my organization's needs? How do I rise to the new challenges before me? In this session we discuss the differences in preparing to operate in the cloud, what your operational priorities need to be, how to start designing for operations, and building your operational readiness. We will walk you through the process of how to launch your new life in the cloud. You will learn to make the early choices that lay the foundations for a successful adoption of cloud services. At the end of this session you will understand the key considerations when planning your personal journey to the cloud. This session is for leaders, operations, service owners and anyone interested in how to get started in the cloud to ensure successful business outcomes

DevOps, agile software development, and design thinking are the popular methodologies that are being used to create a more customer-centric mindset and speed up the delivery of new products & features. This session breaks down the essential components of each methodology and provides best practices on navigating the challenges that are commonly encountered when adopting these methods during a cloud migration.
Analytics Web Day | From Theory to Practice: Big Data Stories from the FieldAWS Germany
Listen to this session to get some insights from two recent implementations of cloud-based Big Data clusters. The purpose of the first solution is DWH Offloading and Machine Learning in the telecommunications industry. The session will cover how we established the data transfer between on-premises server and cloud services. In addition, we will talk about Spark jobs on EMR-cluster, Hive with GlueCatalog to query data stored in S3, quick analytics with Athena, hosting and testing Exasol on EC2-Instances and the provisioning of the cloud infrastructure with CloudFormation. Looking at an earlier phase in the AWS adoption lifecycle, we will also talk about an insurance company finding their way into the AWS cloud. Their goal is to complement their existing enterprise DWH with more agile and data science oriented tools from the cloud, aiming at machine learning and artifical intelligence to complement their claims workflow. In this part we will cover topics like security setup in IAM, connectivity configuration in EC2 and EMR, all complemented with S3 for their storage needs.

Analytics Web Day | Query your Data in S3 with SQL and optimize for Cost and ...AWS Germany
The previous presentation showed how events can be ingested and analyzed continuously in real time. One of Big Data's principles is to store raw data as long as possible - to be able to answer future questions. If the data is permanently stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), it can be queried at any time with Amazon Athena without spinning up a database.
This session shows step by step how the data should be structured so that both costs and response times are reduced when using Athena. The details and effects of compression, partitions, and column storage formats are compared. Finally, AWS Glue is used as a fully managed service for Extract Transform Load (ETL) to derive optimized views from the raw data for frequently issued queries.

Wild Rydes with Big Data/Kinesis focus: AWS Serverless WorkshopAWS Germany
This is a hands-on workshop where every participant will not only learn how to architect and implement a serverless application on Amazon Web Services using nothing but serverless resources for all layers in theory, but actually do it in practice, with all the necessary support from the speakers. Serverless computing allows you to build and run applications and services without thinking about servers. Serverless applications don't require you to provision, scale, and manage any servers. You can build them for nearly any type of application or backend service, and everything required to run and scale your application with high availability is handled for you. Building serverless applications means that developers can focus on their core product instead of worrying about managing and operating servers or runtimes. This reduced overhead lets developers reclaim time and energy that can be spent on developing great products which scale and that are reliable.
Nearly everything in IT - servers, applications, websites, connected devices, and other things - generate discrete, time-stamped records of events called logs. Processing and analyzing these logs to gain actionable insights is log analytics. We'll look at how to use centralized log analytics across multiple sources with Amazon Elasticsearch Service.
Deep Dive into Concepts and Tools for Analyzing Streaming Data on AWS AWS Germany
Querying streaming data with SQL to derive actionable insights at the point of impact in a timely and continuous fashion offers various benefits over querying data in a traditional database. However, although it is desirable for many use cases to transition to a stream based paradigm, stream processing systems and traditional databases are fundamentally different: in a database, the data is (more or less) fixed and the queries are executed in an ad-hoc manner, whereas in stream processing systems, the queries are fixed and the data flows through the system in real-time. This leads to different primitives that are required to model and query streaming data.
In this session, we will introduce basic stream processing concepts and discuss strategies that are commonly used to address the challenges that arise from querying of streaming data. We will discuss different time semantics, processing guarantees and elaborate how to deal with reordering and late arriving of events. Finally, we will compare how different streaming use cases can be implemented on AWS by leveraging Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics and Apache Flink.
Zehntausende gemeinnützige und nichtstaatliche Organisationen weltweit verwenden AWS, damit sie sich auf ihre eigentliche Mission konzentrieren können, statt ihre IT-Infrastruktur zu verwalten. Die Anwendungsgebiete von Nonprofits und NGOs sind dabei genauso vielfältig, wie bei Enterprise oder Start-up oder anderen AWS-Anwendern im öffentlichen Sektor. Gemeinnützige Organisationen und NGOs nutzen AWS z.B. um hochverfügbare und hochskalierbare Websites zu erstellen, um ihre Spendenaktionen und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit effizient zu verwalten, oder um Nutzen aus Big Data Anwendungen zu ziehen.
In dieser Sitzung werden wir einen Blick auf die verschiedenen AWS-Programme werfen, die gemeinnützigen Organisationen den Einstige in AWS und die Umsetzung ihrer IT-Projekte erleichtern. Insbesondere informieren wir auch über das Angebote mit Stifter-Helfen.de - dem deutschen TechSoup-Partner. Dieses Angebot stellt den begünstigten Organisationen pro Jahr $2.000 in AWS Credit Codes zu Verfügung.
Die Session richtet sich an alle, die sich für einen guten Zweck engagieren wollen und dabei nicht auf innovative Cloud-Services zur Umsetzung ihrer IT-Projekte verzichten wollen. Für die Teilnahme and der Session sind keine technischen Vorkenntnisse notwendig
Serverless vs. Developers – the real crashAWS Germany
With serverless things are getting really different. Commodity building blocks from our cloud providers, functional billing, serverless marketplaces etc. are going to hit the usual “Not invented here”3 syndrome in organizations.
Many beloved things have to be un- or re-learned by software developers. How can we prepare our organizations and people for unlearning old patterns and behaviours? Let’s have a look from a knowledge management perspective.

Secret Management with Hashicorp’s VaultAWS Germany
When running a Kubernetes Cluster in AWS there are secrets like AWS and Kubernetes credentials, access information for databases or integration with the company LDAP that need to be stored and managed.
HashiCorp’s Vault secures, stores, and controls access to tokens, passwords, certificates, API keys, and other secrets . It handles leasing, key revocation, key rolling, and auditing.
This talk will give an overview of secret management in general and Vault’s concepts. The talk will explain how to make use of Vault’s extensive feature set and show patterns that implement integration between Kubernetes applications and Vault.
Running more than one containerized application in production makes teams look for solutions to quickly deploy and orchestrate containers. One of the most popular options is the open-source project Kubernetes. With the release of the Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS), engineering teams now have access to a fully managed Kubernetes control plane and time to focus on building applications. This workshop will deliver hands-on labs to support you getting familiar with Amazon's EKS.
Our challenge is to provide a container cluster as part of the Cloud Platform at Scout24. Our goal is to support all the different applications with varying requirements the Scout24 dev teams can throw at us. Up until now, we have run all of them on the same ECS cluster with the same parameters. As we get further into our AWS migration, we have learned this does not scale. We combat this by introducing categories in one cluster with different configurations for the service. We will introduce how we tune each category differently, with different resource limits, different scaling approaches and more…

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.
