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 Information Systems using Event Modeling (Bobby Calderwood, Evident ...confluent
"Event Modeling is a fairly new information system modeling discipline created by Adam Dymitruk that is heavily influenced by CQRS and Event Sourcing. Its lineage follows from Event Storming, Design Thinking, and other modeling practices from the Agile and Domain-Driven Design communities. The methodology emphasizes simplicity (there are only four model ingredients) and inclusion of non-developer participants.
Like other modeling disciplines, Event Modeling is sufficiently general to enable collaborative learning and knowledge exchange among UI/UX designers, software engineers and architects, and business domain experts. But it's also sufficiently expressive and specific to be directly actionable by the implementors of the information system described by the model.
During this talk, we'll:
* Build an Event Model of a simple information system, including wire-framing the UI/UX experience
* Explore how to proceed from model to implementation using Kafka, its Streams and Connect APIs, and KSQL
* Jump-start the implementation by generating code directly from the Event Model
* Track and measure the work of implementation by generating tasks directly from the Event Model"
Software engineering practices for the data science and machine learning life...DataWorks Summit
With the advent of newer frameworks and toolkits, data scientists are now more productive than ever and starting to prove indispensable to enterprises. Typical organizations have large teams of data scientists who build out key analytics assets that are used on a daily basis and an integral part of live transactions. However, there is also quite a lot of chaos and complexities that get introduced because of the state of the industry. Many packages used by data scientists are from open source, and even if they are well curated, there is a growing tendency to pick out the cutting-edge or unstable packages and frameworks to accelerate analytics. Different data scientists may use different versions of runtimes, different Python or R versions, or even different versions of the same packages. Predominantly data scientists work on their laptops and it becomes difficult to reproduce their environments for use by others. Since data science is now a team sport across multiple personas, involving non-practitioners, traditional application developers, execs, and IT operators, how does an enterprise create a platform for productive cross-role collaboration?
Enterprises need a very reliable and repeatable process, especially when it results in something that affects their production environments. They also require a well managed approach that enables the graduation of an asset from development through a testing and staging process to production. Given the pace of businesses nowadays, the process needs to be quite agile and flexible too—even enabling an easy path to reversing a change. Compliance and audit processes require clear lineage and history as well as approval chains.
In the traditional software engineering world, this lifecycle has been well understood and best practices have been followed for ages. But what does it mean when you have non-programmers or users who are not really trained in software engineering philosophies or who perceive all of this as "big process" roadblocks in their daily work ? How do you we engage them in a productive manner and yet support enterprise requirements for reliability, tracking, and a clear continuous integration and delivery practice? The presenters, in this session, will bring up interesting techniques based on their user research, real life customer interviews, and productized best practices. The presenters also invite the audience to share their stories and best practices to make this a lively conversation.

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.
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.

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.

The key trends across hardware, cloud and open-source; exploring how these areas are likely to mature and develop over the short and long-term, and then considering how organisations can position themselves to adapt and thrive.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.
