How ServiceChannel Automated Their AWS Environment with PuppetAmazon Web Services
ServiceChannel, a facilities management software company, provides a cloud-based automation and reporting platform that helps more than 450 brands manage the performance of over 50,000 service providers across 220,000 locations worldwide. After Hurricane Sandy flooded its data center in 2012, ServiceChannel decided to build out a highly available and redundant system on the AWS Cloud. Because they didn’t have any configuration management in place at the time, they had to manually build all of their servers on AWS. This led to the decision to implement Puppet on AWS. With Puppet, ServiceChannel was able to create a fully automated pipeline to deploy, manage, and scale their AWS infrastructure, providing the agility needed to help support the growth of the company. Join us for our upcoming webinar where speakers from Puppet, AWS, and ServiceChannel will go into detail about how ServiceChannel optimized their AWS environment by adopting DevOps practices—including infrastructure as code—and how Puppet helped them automate their pipeline, increase scalability, and manage ever-increasing complexity.
Building an Investment Case for Mass Migrations to AWS - AWS Summit SG 2017Amazon Web Services
While cloud is fast becoming the new normal for organisations of all sizes, many IT executives & budget owners struggle to articulate the business value of moving to the cloud in terms that resonate with the Board and the broader C suite. In this session, we will talk through a live customer migration investment case that we had developed for a customer to undertake a commercial evaluation of their move to the cloud. It will illustrate the true impact of cloud computing on the overall IT cost base along with migration costs and associated non-cost benefits. Finally, we will discuss how AWS can support you in developing a similar investment case for your organization through a holistic framework.

Deep Dive on Amazon Cloud Directory - April 2017 AWS Online Tech TalksAmazon Web Services
Learning Objectives:
• Learn about the benefits and features of Amazon Cloud Directory
• Understand the advantages of using Cloud Directory over traditional directory solutions, such as Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) and other LDAP-based directories
• Discover how to efficiently organize hierarchies of data across multiple dimensions
• Get tips on how to create and extend Cloud Directory schemas
• Find out how to search your directory using strongly consistent and eventually consistent search APIs.
Learn how Amazon Cloud Directory enables you to build flexible cloud-native directories for organizing hierarchies of data along multiple dimensions. Using Cloud Directory, you can easily build organizational charts, device registries, course catalogs, and network configurations with multiple hierarchies. For example, you can build an organizational chart with one hierarchy based on reporting structure, a second hierarchy based on physical location, and a third based on cost center.
Amazon Cloud Directory automatically scales to hundreds of millions of objects and provides an extensible schema that can be shared with multiple applications. As a fully-managed service, Cloud Directory eliminates time-consuming and expensive administrative tasks, such as scaling infrastructure and managing servers. You simply define the schema, create a directory, and then populate your directory by making calls to the Cloud Directory API.

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.
