The document discusses Vanguard's move from a mainframe-based architecture to microservices in the cloud. It describes Vanguard's initial complex IT environment with monolithic applications and a mainframe. Vanguard's approach was to replicate data from the mainframe to the cloud, refactor applications to make API calls to microservices, and migrate batch processes. This "strangulation strategy" allowed the monolith to be gradually replaced. The document outlines Vanguard's cloud data architecture and how it leveraged AWS services like RDS, DynamoDB, Lambda and Kinesis while addressing compliance and operational requirements. Lessons learned included preparing for regulatory needs and pushback to cloud migration.
Maintaining control of sensitive data is critical in the highly regulated financial investments environment that Vanguard operates in. This need for data control complicated Vanguard's move to the cloud. They needed to expand globally to provide a great user experience while at the same time maintaining their mainframe-based backend data architecture. In this session, Vanguard discusses the creative approach they took to decouple their monolithic backend architecture to empower a microservices architecture while maintaining compliance with regulations. They also cover solutions implemented to successfully meet their requirements for security, latency, and end-state consistency.

Kappa vs Lambda Architectures and Technology ComparisonKai Wähner
Real-time data beats slow data. That’s true for almost every use case. Nevertheless, enterprise architects build new infrastructures with the Lambda architecture that includes separate batch and real-time layers.
This video explores why a single real-time pipeline, called Kappa architecture, is the better fit for many enterprise architectures. Real-world examples from companies such as Disney, Shopify, Uber, and Twitter explore the benefits of Kappa but also show how batch processing fits into this discussion positively without the need for a Lambda architecture.
The main focus of the discussion is on Apache Kafka (and its ecosystem) as the de facto standard for event streaming to process data in motion (the key concept of Kappa), but the video also compares various technologies and vendors such as Confluent, Cloudera, IBM Red Hat, Apache Flink, Apache Pulsar, AWS Kinesis, Amazon MSK, Azure Event Hubs, Google Pub Sub, and more.

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.
Come spendere fino al 90% in meno con i container e le istanze spot Amazon Web Services
L’utilizzo dei container è in continua crescita.
Se correttamente disegnate, le applicazioni basate su Container sono molto spesso stateless e flessibili.
I servizi AWS ECS, EKS e Kubernetes su EC2 possono sfruttare le istanze Spot, portando ad un risparmio medio del 70% rispetto alle istanze On Demand. In questa sessione scopriremo insieme quali sono le caratteristiche delle istanze Spot e come possono essere utilizzate facilmente su AWS. Impareremo inoltre come Spreaker sfrutta le istanze spot per eseguire applicazioni di diverso tipo, in produzione, ad una frazione del costo on-demand!

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.
