Establishing an appropriate cloud operating model is critical to forming your organization’s successful adoption of cloud, and delivering greater business agility, increasing the cloud migration Return on Investment, and deliver a more secure, performant, reliable, and cost effective cloud computing environment. The impact of the cloud will be felt across your entire organization, including processes and people - not just Information technology. It will significantly affect, and be affected by, your organizational culture and Information technology delivery structures. This session will provide prescriptive guidance regarding the best approaches to evolving an operating model from projects to products, manual, process intensive governance to a ‘trust but verify’ model, long development cycles to continuous integration and deployment, silos between business and IT into a collaborative organizational structure, self-service processes, and continuous improvement. The recommendations in the presentation are based upon lesson learned, best practices, and anti-patterns from thousands of customer’s cloud transformation journeys.
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 Enablement Engine Role Definition and MappingTom Laszewski
Question: How do traditional roles map to cloud roles. As an operations person, what things will I do when the cloud is deployed.
Answer: The following slides provide an example of mapping of traditional roles to cloud roles. The content is a bit generic and was initially intended for a larger global enterprise, but the roles, skills and concepts may be helpful for discussion.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
