Apache Spark Clusters for Everyone | AWS Public Sector Summit 2016Amazon Web Services
Easy Access to Amazon EMR Spark Clusters Using R and Python in the Browser Using systems like Apache Spark, big data analysis is becoming more accessible from high-level languages like R and Python. However, many analysts are unprepared for the challenges of setting up a big data analytical environment. In this talk, we outline a process that allows anyone in an organization to quickly spin up elastic Spark clusters, then analyze data through RStudio and SparkR, or alternatively pySpark and Jupyter Notebooks. The resulting system is affordable, powerful, and incredibly accessible: It takes just two clicks and a 15-minute wait time for analysts to each have their own cluster. This session will cover the following: the Amazon EMR bootstrap process for installations of high-level languages to work on top of Spark (specifically SparkR and pySpark); dynamic port forwarding with SSH and Foxy Proxy for browser access to RStudio and Jupyter; convenient data loading from Amazon S3 to EMR without leaving RStudio or Jupyter; and automating the startup process for nontechnical data analysts and researchers. Finally, we will share some short studies that demonstrate the power of Spark with EMR to interactively analyze massive datasets and discern public policy insights.

AWS Summit 2013 | India - Extend your Datacenter in the Cloud and achieve Hig...Amazon Web Services
The cloud is not an 'All or Nothing' approach with regards to replacing workloads inside your datacenter. Enterprises with existing datacenters can easily extend their Infrastructure into the cloud to seamlessly leverage the benefits of cloud while using the same set of controls familiar to their business. However availability and security still remain among the top two concerns for CIOs when deciding on cloud adoption for their organization.
Amazon Web Services has infrastructure across multiple geographical Regions spanning five continents, with multiple Availability Zones in each Region along with a set of global edge locations. Building a similar infrastructure for high availability with your traditional datacenter would be non-trivial and cost prohibitive. Join this session to understand how you can achieve high availability across geographies, deploy your applications close to your users, control where your data is located, achieve low latency, and migrate your applications around the world in a cost-effective and easy manner using AWS services. You will also learn how AWS builds services in accordance with security best practices, provides appropriate security features in those services, has achieved industry standard certifications, and other third-party attestations. In addition, in line with the shared security model on the cloud, AWS customers must leverage on security features and best practices to architect an appropriately secure application environment. Enabling customers to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their data is of the utmost importance to AWS, as is maintaining trust and confidence.
This webinar will introduce the AWS Shared Security Model. We will examine how to use the inherent security of the AWS environment, coupled with the security tools and features AWS makes available, to create a resilient environment with the security you need.
Learning Objectives:
• Understand the security measures AWS puts in place to secure the environment where your data lives
• Understand the tools AWS offers to help you create a resilient environment with the security you need
• Consider actions when moving a sensitive workload to AWS • Security benefits you can expect by deploying in the AWS Cloud
Who Should Attend:
- Prospects and customers with a security background
- Who are interested in using AWS to manage security-sensitive workloads
Segurança é uma das principais características da nuvem da AWS. Nesta apresentação, analisamos o modelo de segurança compartilhada da AWS, e os serviços usados para implementar este modelo.

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.

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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

17. Customers have requirements that require them to use specific encryption
key management procedures not previously possible on AWS
• Requirements are based on contractual or regulatory mandates for keeping
encryption keys stored in a specific manner or with specific access controls
• Good key management is critical
Customers want to run applications and store data in AWS but previously had
to retain keys in HSMs in on-premises datacenters
• Applications may slow down due to network latency
• Requires several DCs to provide high availability, disaster recovery and durability
of keys
Customer Challenge: Encryption
18. • AWS offers several data protection mechanisms including access control,
encryption, etc.
• AWS CloudHSM complements existing AWS data protection and encryption
solutions
• With AWS CloudHSM customers can:
• Encrypt data inside AWS
• Store keys in AWS within a Hardware Security Module
• Decide how to encrypt data – the AWS CloudHSM implements
cryptographic functions and key storage for customer applications
• Use third party validated hardware for key storage
AWS Data Protection Solutions
19. HSM – Hardware Security Module
• A hardware device that performs cryptographic operations and key storage
• Used for strong protection of private keys
• Tamper resistant – keys are protected physically and logically
– If a tampering attempt is detected, the appliance destroys the keys
• Device administration and security administration are logically separate
– Physical control of the appliance does not grant access to the keys
• Certified by 3rd parties to comply with government standards for physical and
logical security:
– FIPS 140-2
– Common Criteria EAL4+
• Example vendors include: SafeNet, Thales
• Historically located in on-premises datacenters
HSM
20. What is AWS CloudHSM?
• Customers receive dedicated access to HSM appliances
• HSMs are physically located in AWS datacenters – in close network
proximity to Amazon EC2 instances
• Physically managed and monitored by AWS, but customers control their
own keys
• HSMs are inside customer’s VPC – dedicated to the customer and
isolated from the rest of the network
AWS
CloudHSM
21. AWS CloudHSM Service Highlights
• Secure Key Storage – customers retain control of their own keys and
cryptographic operations on the HSM
• Contractual and Regulatory Compliance – helps customers comply with
the most stringent regulatory and contractual requirements for key
protection
• Reliable and Durable Key Storage – AWS CloudHSMs are located in
multiple Availability Zones and Regions to help customers build highly
