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.

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.
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.

ENT304 - Building a Hybrid Cloud Architecture Utilizing AWS Landing ZonesTom Laszewski
Application modernization projects with AWS start with creating an AWS Landing Zone. Based upon 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, will demonstrate a repeatable hybrid cloud architecture to secure, manage, and integrate your network across on-premises and multiple AWS regions utilizing an AWS Landing Zone. AWS customer, Finch Therapeutics, will then discuss how they utilized the GreenPages hybrid cloud reference implementation to deploy, secure, and manage their hybrid cloud environment.
What IT Transformation Really Means for the EnterpriseTom Laszewski
Digital transformation means something new every decade. This sort of constant change is stressful for any organization, but especially for the large enterprise. Because while nearly every enterprise began as a small, scrappy team, success means growth, and growth means accumulation—more technology, more processes, more people, and more red tape. In this session, we’ll give an executive-level view of how the cloud removes the stressful burden of on-premise applications, legacy technology, and outdated processes from the enterprise. We’ll examine what digital transformation really means, and offer prescriptive guidance around decluttering the enterprise, security, culture, and more. AWS enables every enterprise to invest in strategic innovation and modernization. With the AWS cloud, enterprises become more agile, more efficient, and are better equipped to keep pace with constant change. As a partner, AWS enables every enterprise to live its own version of the Amazon Story—one of growth without burdensome accumulation, success without slowness, and constant innovation.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
