AWS re:Invent 2016: The Psychology of Security Automation (SAC307)Amazon Web Services
Historically, relationships between developers and security teams have been challenging. Security teams sometimes see developers as careless and ignorant of risk, while developers might see security teams as dogmatic barriers to productivity. Can technologies and approaches such as the cloud, APIs, and automation lead to happier developers and more secure systems? Netflix has had success pursuing this approach, by leaning into the fundamental cloud concept of self-service, the Netflix cultural value of transparency in decision making, and the engineering efficiency principle of facilitating a “paved road.”
This session explores how security teams can use thoughtful tools and automation to improve relationships with development teams while creating a more secure and manageable environment. Topics include Netflix’s approach to IAM entity management, Elastic Load Balancing and certificate management, and general security configuration monitoring.

Big Data per le Startup: come creare applicazioni Big Data in modalità Server...Amazon Web Services
La varietà e la quantità di dati che si crea ogni giorno accelera sempre più velocemente e rappresenta una opportunità irripetibile per innovare e creare nuove startup.
Tuttavia gestire grandi quantità di dati può apparire complesso: creare cluster Big Data su larga scala sembra essere un investimento accessibile solo ad aziende consolidate. Ma l’elasticità del Cloud e, in particolare, i servizi Serverless ci permettono di rompere questi limiti.
Vediamo quindi come è possibile sviluppare applicazioni Big Data rapidamente, senza preoccuparci dell’infrastruttura, ma dedicando tutte le risorse allo sviluppo delle nostre le nostre idee per creare prodotti innovativi.
Ora puoi utilizzare Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) per eseguire pod Kubernetes su AWS Fargate, il motore di elaborazione serverless creato per container su AWS. Questo rende più semplice che mai costruire ed eseguire le tue applicazioni Kubernetes nel cloud AWS.In questa sessione presenteremo le caratteristiche principali del servizio e come distribuire la tua applicazione in pochi passaggi
Vent'anni fa Amazon ha attraversato una trasformazione radicale con l'obiettivo di aumentare il ritmo dell'innovazione. In questo periodo abbiamo imparato come cambiare il nostro approccio allo sviluppo delle applicazioni ci ha permesso di aumentare notevolmente l'agilità, la velocità di rilascio e, in definitiva, ci ha consentito di creare applicazioni più affidabili e scalabili. In questa sessione illustreremo come definiamo le applicazioni moderne e come la creazione di app moderne influisce non solo sull'architettura dell'applicazione, ma sulla struttura organizzativa, sulle pipeline di rilascio dello sviluppo e persino sul modello operativo. Descriveremo anche approcci comuni alla modernizzazione, compreso l'approccio utilizzato dalla stessa Amazon.com.

Amazon Web Services e VMware organizzano un evento virtuale gratuito il prossimo mercoledì 14 Ottobre dalle 12:00 alle 13:00 dedicato a VMware Cloud ™ on AWS, il servizio on demand che consente di eseguire applicazioni in ambienti cloud basati su VMware vSphere® e di accedere ad una vasta gamma di servizi AWS, sfruttando a pieno le potenzialità del cloud AWS e tutelando gli investimenti VMware esistenti.
Molte organizzazioni sfruttano i vantaggi del cloud migrando i propri carichi di lavoro Oracle e assicurandosi notevoli vantaggi in termini di agilità ed efficienza dei costi.
La migrazione di questi carichi di lavoro, può creare complessità durante la modernizzazione e il refactoring delle applicazioni e a questo si possono aggiungere rischi di prestazione che possono essere introdotti quando si spostano le applicazioni dai data center locali.
Crea la tua prima serverless ledger-based app con QLDB e NodeJSAmazon Web Services
Molte aziende oggi, costruiscono applicazioni con funzionalità di tipo ledger ad esempio per verificare lo storico di accrediti o addebiti nelle transazioni bancarie o ancora per tenere traccia del flusso supply chain dei propri prodotti.
Alla base di queste soluzioni ci sono i database ledger che permettono di avere un log delle transazioni trasparente, immutabile e crittograficamente verificabile, ma sono strumenti complessi e onerosi da gestire.
Amazon QLDB elimina la necessità di costruire sistemi personalizzati e complessi fornendo un database ledger serverless completamente gestito.
In questa sessione scopriremo come realizzare un'applicazione serverless completa che utilizzi le funzionalità di QLDB.
Con l’ascesa delle architetture di microservizi e delle ricche applicazioni mobili e Web, le API sono più importanti che mai per offrire agli utenti finali una user experience eccezionale. In questa sessione impareremo come affrontare le moderne sfide di progettazione delle API con GraphQL, un linguaggio di query API open source utilizzato da Facebook, Amazon e altro e come utilizzare AWS AppSync, un servizio GraphQL serverless gestito su AWS. Approfondiremo diversi scenari, comprendendo come AppSync può aiutare a risolvere questi casi d’uso creando API moderne con funzionalità di aggiornamento dati in tempo reale e offline.
Inoltre, impareremo come Sky Italia utilizza AWS AppSync per fornire aggiornamenti sportivi in tempo reale agli utenti del proprio portale web.

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.

2. What to expect from the session
How we can leverage DevOps in making the Magic of
Software come true
We walk through the DevOps tools in AWS and how it
works in Windows
We describe and demonstrate Windows-specific
CI/CD pipeline for .NET in AWS
3. Why invest in DevOps
• Startups can now take on giants with little to
no funding ahead of time
• Getting your software into the hands of
millions is a click/download away
• Your ability to move fast is paramount to your
ability to fight off disruption
• Know before your customer that your service
is unavailable — trust/goodwill
4. Old software delivery model
The software delivery model has drastically changed
New software delivery model
5. Starting point:
• Is the release process automated
• Is the testing automated
• Unit test
• Integration test
• Continuous production testing
• Synthetic traffic
6. Be aware that a service is unavailable
Problem:
A service can stop working at any time for reasons inside
or outside of its control
Consequence:
Your service may be unavailable without your team
knowing about it
7. Use synthetic traffic to simulate real users
• Test all business critical functionality (UI and APIs)
• Tests must run quickly
• Measure client latencies
• Check for reachability
9. Prerequisites for success
• Versioned source
• Automated build
• Automated deployments
• Deploy to > 1 instance
• Unit tests
• Integration tests
• Continuous delivery
• Operations dashboard
Source
Build
Deploy to
Integration Stack
Integration Tests
Deploy to
Production
10. What tools do you need to move fast?
Releasing software in this new software-driven world
requires a number of tools:
• Tools to manage the flow of your software development
release process
• Tools to properly test and inspect your code for defects
and potential issues
• Tools to deploy your applications
• This talk uses AWS tools
11. A story from Amazon
In 2014:
• Thousands of service teams across Amazon
• + Building microservices
• + Practicing continuous delivery
• + Many environments (staging, beta, production,
multiple regions)
=50 million deploys
13. • Integration
tests with
other systems
• Load testing
• UI tests
• Penetration
testing
Release processes have four major phases
Source Build Test Production
• Check-in
source code
such as .java
files
• Peer review
new code
• Compile code
• Unit tests
• Style checkers
• Code metrics
• Create
container
images
• Deployment
to production
environments
15. State of Windows development on AWS
• AWS SDK for .NET
• AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio
• AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell

29. Gives developers and systems administrators
an easy way to create and manage a collection
of related AWS resources
Understands dependencies and supports
rollbacks and versioning
Allows for reusable component design
strategies
Supports a portable JSON or YAML format
Authoring tools continue to improve
AWS CloudFormation
30. The last mile of your automation comes down
to this
In the Windows world, this is almost always
PowerShell
Some Windows challenges are always there
(reboots, service restarts, security models)
The techniques you standardize on here can
make or break your approach
Bootstrapping
31. Configuration management
• Making your scripts idempotent ensures that they can be
rerun in place as needed
• PowerShell DSC or AWS Partner solutions can help you
PowerShell DSC Ansible Chef Puppet
So where do we start …
Is the release process automated … commit code, build, test, deploy
Is the testing automated – do you automated scripts as part for Unit Testing, for Integrated Testing, Do you do Continuous Production Testing, Are you introducing synthetic traffic
Importantly be aware that a service is unsalable … So automating - Monitoring, production testing and synthetic traffic are equally important
A little more on synthetic traffic
Notes
SDK for .NET – Many recent improvements related to .NET Core, Extensions went live in Sept. to deal with the removal of the ConfiguraitonManager.
Toolkit – This continues to be a tool AWS invests in to make it easier to do development targeting AWS. There is an explorer and a simple mechanism for pushing directly to beanstalk. It’s one of the best tools available for editing CF templates
Tools for Powershell – continue to evolve these and as services release the CLI will rev and so does the powershell cmdlets
CodeDeploy – Service that provides an agent solution that runs on Windows in AWS or on-premise and communicates to a central command/control service you can configure to run a bunch of setup hooks and code laydown. Customers are using this to deploy to 100’s of instances.
ElasticBeanstalk – often characterized as the AWS platform as a service but that really isn’t what this service is all about. This service is about simplifying and putting consistency into your deployment and operations of a constrained solution. Think .NET multi-tier web API or a backend worker fleet that needs to crunch through events coming into a queue or …
RDS for SQL Server – We deploy and provide SQL Server in a managed way and recently allow you to implement a domain join and integrated security model
SSM – This gives you remote powershell command automation.

The AWS Cloud makes it easy for developers to code, build, and deploy .NET solutions. AWS has a.NET SDK that simplifies the work for .NET developers who want to use AWS services. AWS also has a continuous integration (CI) orchestration service called AWS CodePipeline, and multiple deployment options to help developers quickly deploy and manage their .NET solutions. AWS Elastic Beanstalk and AWS CodeDeploy provide an easy model for deploying and versioning .NET applications.
Quick Starts are automated reference deployments for key workloads on the AWS Cloud.
Each Quick Start launches, configures, and runs the AWS compute, network, storage, and
other services required to deploy a specific workload on AWS, using AWS best practices for
security and availability.
Done in a declarative fashion
Making scripts reusable is great, but making scripts re-run in place is ideal
PowerShell DSC -> Configurations
Ansible -> Playbooks
Chef -> Recipes
Puppet -> Manifests
Found recurring pieces of code across Microsoft-based Quick Starts. For example: Many Windows environment need to join an AD domain.
Converted these to reusable scripts and modules.
Show how we use the AWSQuickStart PS Module to handle signaling.
Reused across Quick Starts
This is inside the "files" section of a specific cfn-init config set
Sourcing files:
We should do our best to not include the complex or potentially unreliable scripts inside “content” for a file and instead use “source” to get the file from a known location and place it in a secure location locally.
This also makes it easier to develop and debug the scripts separately.
Relative paths:
Show how we take in a bucket and key prefix and figure out everything from there
Relative paths are also used for the TemplateURL and Parameters (as needed)
Realized that AD Stack and RDGateway were usually common building blocks across stacks.
Show a PS Script with try/catch and catch using a Cmdlet from AWSQuickStart to signal the exception.
Don’t forget the $ErrorActionPreference=Stop to ensure that non-terminating errors are also caught.
This is inside the “commands" section of a specific cfn-init config set
Why not put it in UserData? because of Windows reboots since UserData is only executed once (on the first instance launch) and not on subsequent reboots. Signaling must be handled via CFN init if there are reboots in the bootstrapping process.
If you aren’t doing any reboots, it is OK to put this in user data. However, many Windows operations require reboots like host rename and domain join.
