Virtualized hardware is all the rage in enterprise IT. However, is a purely virtualization-focused, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) approach really the right one for enterprises and government? What’s becoming clear is that virtualization is but one piece of a much bigger strategy for fast, self-service deployment and ultra-efficient operations, referred to as “platform as a service” (PaaS). PaaS leverages a wider set of middleware capabilities to enable application deployment in minutes rather than days and reduces operational costs by up to 90%. This general session will compare and contrast the IaaS and PaaS approaches, discussing architectural and operational considerations for PaaS using examples of best practices. It's a must-attend session for anyone considering building a private cloud.

(ENT206) Migrating Thousands of Workloads to AWS at Enterprise Scale | AWS re...Amazon Web Services
Migrating workloads to AWS in an enterprise environment is not easy, but with the right approach, an enterprise-sized organization can migrate thousands of instances to AWS quickly and cost effectively. You can leave this session with a good understanding of the migration framework used to assess an enterprise application portfolio and how to move thousands of instances to AWS in a quick and repeatable fashion.
In this session, we describe the components of Accenture's cloud migration framework, including tools and capabilities provided by Accenture, AWS, and third-party software solutions, and how enterprises can leverage these techniques to migrate efficiently and effectively. The migration framework covers:
- Defining an overall cloud strategy
- Assessing the business requirements, including application and data requirements
- Creating the right AWS architecture and environment
- Moving applications and data using automated migration tools- Services to manage the migrated environment
When customers think about moving to the cloud, one of their first considerations is cost. AWS helps lower customer costs through its “pay only for what you use” pricing model. In this session, we explain our TCO analysis methodology and explore the financial considerations of owning and operating a traditional data center or managed hosting provider compared with using AWS services. Customers also share their processes for developing the right cost savings and optimization model.
This session provides a holistic framework that can be used to build a Cloud Strategy that is tailor made for your organization. The Cloud Strategy covers 7 different perspectives of consideration including Business, People, Process, Operations, Security, Maturity, and Platform.

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.
Creating an Operating Model to enable a high frequency organizationTom Laszewski
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.

The Windows Azure Platform (MSDN Events Series)Dave Bost
This presentation was delivered as part of the MSDN Events series of technical seminars and provides a deep dive into cloud computing and the Windows Azure Platform. It starts with a developer-focused overview of the Windows Azure Platform and the cloud computing services that can be used either together or independently to build highly scalable applications. From there, the discussion explores data storage, SQL Azure, and the basics of deployment with Windows Azure.
Virtualization simply means maximizing the value of your IT resources - including hardware, software applications and infrastructure - by decoupling them from physical assets and turning them into a "pool" of resources that can be called upon and used on an on demand basis.
As enterprise adoption of cloud computing accelerates, driven by compelling advantages of higher efficiency and lower costs, rapid deployment and elastic scalability, organizations must have a strategy and plan for moving to the cloud. How can organizations get started on the evolution to cloud computing? This presentation explores how enterprise IT can move toward a cloud computing model, building on a foundation of virtualization, engineered systems and management automation.
Cloud Computing Realities - Getting past the hype and setting your cloud stra...Compuware APM

AWS Enterprise Day | Running Critical Business Applications on AWSAmazon Web Services
The Cloud Journey for many enterprise customers starts with an initial migration of websites and mobile applications to AWS, followed by deployment of their critical business services. These services, such as SAP and Oracle, are typically more complex and underpin many business processes in the customer's organisation and may be deployed as hybrid solutions, integrated closely with other internal and external services. To do this, customers need to have fast and reliable connectivity to existing on-premise networks, as we covered in the previous session. Let's look at how we can now build on that to help you understand the benefits that many customers have achieved when they moved their business applications to AWS.
This session provides an overview of how organizations can migrate workloads to the AWS cloud at scale. We will go through available migration frameworks and best practices with common use case examples during this session. After migrating the initial workloads, understand how to migrate at scale to the AWS cloud. Hear about real life experiences from the AWS Professional Services team and learn about common use case examples, frameworks, and best practices. Hear about what to avoid when migrating applications at scale to AWS and understand the tools and partner services that can assist you when migrating applications to AWS.

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.
