Serverless architectures let you build and deploy applications and services with infrastructure resources that require zero administration. In the past, you had to provision and scale servers to run your application code to install and operate distributed databases and build and run custom software to handle API requests. Now AWS provides a stack of scalable fully-managed services that eliminates these operational complexities. In this session, you will learn about the basics of serverless and especially how your business can benefit from it.
Chaos Engineering: Why Breaking Things Should Be Practised.Adrian Hornsby
As presented at the AWS London Summit 2018
With the rise of micro-services and large-scale distributed architectures, software systems have grown increasingly complex and hard to understand. Adding to that complexity, the velocity of software delivery has also dramatically increased, resulting in failures being harder to predict and contain.
While the cloud allows for high availability, redundancy and fault-tolerance, no single component can guarantee 100% uptime. Therefore, we have to understand availability but especially learn how to design architectures with failure in mind.
And since failures have become more and more chaotic in nature, we must turn to chaos engineering in order to identify failures before they become outages.
In this talk, I will deep dive into availability, reliability and large-scale architectures and make an introduction to chaos engineering, a discipline that promotes breaking things on purpose in order to learn how to build more resilient systems.

In this session, we walk through the most popular applications that customers implement using Amazon Kinesis, including streaming extract-transform-load, continuous metric generation, and responsive analytics. Our customer Autodesk joins us to describe how they created real-time metrics generation and analytics using Amazon Kinesis and Amazon Elasticsearch Service. They walk us through their architecture and the best practices they learned in building and deploying their real-time analytics solution.
As serverless architectures become more popular, customers need a framework of patterns to help them identify how they can leverage AWS to deploy their workloads without managing servers or operating systems. This session describes reusable serverless patterns while considering costs. For each pattern, we provide operational and security best practices and discuss potential pitfalls and nuances. We also discuss the considerations for moving an existing server-based workload to a serverless architecture. The patterns use services like AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon Kinesis Streams, Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3, AWS Step Functions, AWS Config, AWS X-Ray, and Amazon Athena. This session helps you recognize candidates for serverless architectures in your own organizations and understand areas of potential savings and increased agility.
Container technology provides unparalleled improvements in efficiency and agility of packaging and deploying applications, and hence are becoming the de-facto method for deploying microservices. However, using containers for running services at scale has required that operations team handle complex, dynamically changing infrastructure requirements, or run the risk or under/over-provisioning infrastructure. Let's explore together best practices for developing containerized applications with AWS services while running them at scale.

Real-Time Web Analytics with Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics (ADT401) - AWS re:...Amazon Web Services
Knowing what users are doing on your websites in real time provides insights you can act on without waiting for delayed batch processing of clickstream data. Watching the immediate impact on user behavior after new releases, detecting and responding to anomalies, situational awareness, and evaluating trends are all benefits of real-time website analytics. In this workshop, we build a cost-optimized platform to capture web beacon traffic, analyze it for interesting metrics, and display it on a customized dashboard. We start by deploying the Web Analytics Solution Accelerator, then once the core is complete, we extend their solution to capture new and interesting metrics, process those with Amazon Kinesis Analytics, and display new graphs on their custom dashboard. Participants come away with a fully functional system for capturing, analyzing, and displaying valuable website metrics in real time.

Self-Driving cars. Commercial drones. Smart cameras. Movie and music creation. Powerful & intelligent robots. Over the past few years, a new revolution has brought AI almost to the level of science-fiction. However, most companies are not worried about far-off futuristic applications of AI, they want to know what AI can do - today - for their organisations. Distinguishing the hype from reality can be a bit confusing, especially when you consider the attention that AI gets from the media and commentators. So, how can your organisation get started and put AI to work for you? That is the question I will answer in this talk. From greater customer intimacy, increasing competitive advantage and improving efficiency, I will discuss and show how AI can be used today and help the organisation in more impactful ways.

https://awsloft.london/session/2017/a5da881d-67f8-4af5-8ace-4f8adcf579db
"In this talk, we will show the audience how to build and deploy serverless AI-powered applications on AWS. In particular, two demos will be analysed in depths. The first demo is a simple mobile web app that allows a user to upload or take a picture with their mobile phone. The result is then spoken out loud using Amazon Polly. This demo is deployed using the AWS CLI (command line interface) with scripting techniques. The second demo is a podcast generator which connects to any RSS feed and converts that feed into a podcast. The result can then be played on iTunes or any podcast player. This demo uses AWS Lambda and Amazon Polly and is deployed using the Serverless framework. We will go through the architecture, the APIs, the code itself and the deployment of those two applications using Amazon Rekognition, Amazon Polly, AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, Amazon Route53, Elasticsearch, and more."

AWS Batch: Simplifying batch computing in the cloudAdrian Hornsby
Docker enables you to create highly customized images that are used to execute your jobs. These images allow you to easily share complex applications between teams and even organizations. However, sometimes you might just need to run a script! This talk walk you through the steps to create and run a simple “fetch & run” job in AWS Batch. AWS Batch executes jobs as Docker containers using Amazon ECS. You build a simple Docker image containing a helper application that can download your script or even a zip file from Amazon S3. AWS Batch then launches an instance of your container image to retrieve your script and run your job.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
