Creating an Operating Model to enable a high frequency organizationTom Laszewski
Establishing an appropriate cloud operating model is critical to forming your organization’s successful adoption of cloud, and delivering greater business agility, increasing the cloud migration Return on Investment, and deliver a more secure, performant, reliable, and cost effective cloud computing environment. The impact of the cloud will be felt across your entire organization, including processes and people - not just Information technology. It will significantly affect, and be affected by, your organizational culture and Information technology delivery structures. This session will provide prescriptive guidance regarding the best approaches to evolving an operating model from projects to products, manual, process intensive governance to a ‘trust but verify’ model, long development cycles to continuous integration and deployment, silos between business and IT into a collaborative organizational structure, self-service processes, and continuous improvement. The recommendations in the presentation are based upon lesson learned, best practices, and anti-patterns from thousands of customer’s cloud transformation journeys.
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.

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.

"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.

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.
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.
Good morning, good afternoon, evening.
Today we are discussing hybrid cloud customer use cases and also cover AWS landing zone and hybrid cloud landing zones as well as a couple of AWS services that are new and help you configure and run a hybrid cloud environment.
Assumes knowledge of cloud and basics of AWS
Tom Laszewski NA enterprise architecture leader.
We have come a long way by listening to our customs. When I joined 6 years ago you cloud not say hybrid..then hybrid architecture…now hybrid cloud. Went from 16 services to over 130 services
Let’s go…
Level 300 | Solutions Best Practices
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. Missed part one? Watch it on-demand.
Learning Objectives: • Hear about customer AWS Hybrid Cloud success stories• Learn the best practices of how customers are building hybrid cloud landing zones• Learn the best practices of hybrid cloud for cloud bursting, and integrated devices and edge systems
Who Should Attend: Technical Decision Makers, IT Architects, Cloud Architects, Application DevelopersSpeaker(s): Tom Laszewski, Enterprise Technologist, AWS

Networking is foundational to all hybrid cloud use cases.
1. Amazon Virtual Privat Cloud (VPC) lets you provision a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud where you can launch AWS resources. Can contain public subenets (accessible from internet) and private subnets (accessible from within AWS or through a VPN).
2. DirectConnect, is a Private connection, Separate from the Internet that provides Port speeds of 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps or sub-1 Gbps. If you have bandwidth-heavy workloads that you wish to run in AWS, AWS Direct Connect can reduce your network costs into and out of AWS.
3. VPN - IPsec authentication and encryption through IPSec or SSL through third parties
Three options :AWS Managed VPN, Software VPN (EC2) – Cisco CSR on marketplace, openswan, openvpn
Amazon VPC
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) lets you provision a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud where you can launch AWS resources in a virtual network that you define. You have complete control over your virtual networking environment, including selection of your own IP address range, creation of subnets, and configuration of route tables and network gateways. Additionally, you can create a Hardware VPN connection between your corporate data center and your VPC to leverage the AWS Cloud as an extension of your corporate datacenter.

AWS Direct Connect
AWS Direct Connect makes it easy to establish a dedicated network connection from your premises to AWS. Using AWS Direct Connect, you can establish private connectivity between AWS and your data center, office, or colocation environment, which in many cases can reduce your network costs, increase bandwidth throughput, and provide a more consistent network experience than Internet-based connections. This dedicated connection can be partitioned into multiple virtual interfaces to maintain network separation between public and private environments.

Integrated Networking
The next layer of hybrid architecture involves connecting on-premises and cloud resources through a common network to facilitate the creation of a single enterprise environment. AWS can extend your on-premises network configuration into your virtual private networks on the AWS Cloud so that AWS resources operate as if they are part of your existing corporate network. You can also extend your physical connectivity to provide dedicated, consistent, private networking between your data centers and the AWS regions of your choice.
4. IAM - Users for authentation using password plus MFA accessing from AWS console, or have access keys when using the AWS APIs. Groups to combine ’like’ users – developers, finance, operators etc.
5. AWS SSO - AWS Single Sign-On (SSO) is a cloud SSO service that makes it easy to centrally manage SSO access to multiple AWS accounts and business applications., you can create Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 integrations to third party apps.
6. AWS Microsoft AD Connector - Active .
Directory Connector gives you an easy way to establish a trusted relationship between your Active Directory and AWS. You continue to run MS AD on-premises.
7. AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory, also known as AWS Microsoft AD, enables your directory-aware workloads and AWS resources to use managed Active Directory in the AWS Cloud. AWS Microsoft AD is built on actual Microsoft Active Directory and does not require you to synchronize
----------------------------------
Extra notes…..
Integrated Identity and Access
Establishing a single identity and access strategy often goes hand-in-hand with integrating networks. You can create and manage AWS users, groups, and permissions to allow and deny access to AWS resources at extremely fine level of detail. Additionally, AWS offers managed services that allow you to connect your AWS resources with an existing on-premises Microsoft Active Directory and manage policies with existing tools.
Public Internet – public IPs assigned to compute by AWS or Elastic Ips that are generated by AWS can be moved to different VMs
AWS using Customer gateway and virtual private gateway or Software managed using OpenVPN, Cisco CSR on AWS Marketplace (prepacked AWS Machine Image)
Private connection through 67 locations offering speeds of up to 10Gbps, does not use internet, consistent performance. Can be a lower overall cost because of low data transfer out costs.
