Introduction to Amazon Web Services for developers
About presenter
Roman Gomolko with 11 years of experience in development including 4 years of day-to-day work with Amazon Web Services.
Disclaimer
Cloud-hosting is buzz-word for a while and in my talk I would like to give an introduction to Amazon Web Services (AWS).
We will talk about basic building blocks of AWS like EC2, ELB, ASG, S3, CloudFront, RDS, IAM, VPC and other scary or funny abbreviations.
Then we will discuss how to migrate existing applications to AWS. This topic includes:
• how to design infrastructure and services to use when migrating
• how to choose proper instance types
• how to estimate infrastructure cost
• how it will affect performance of application migrated
Then we will make an overview of services provided by AWS and possible apply in your current of future applications:
• SQS
• DynamoDB
• Kinesis
• CloudSearch
• CodeDeploy
• CloudFormation
And if we survive we will talk a little how to design Cloud applications. That’s mainly about general principles.
My talk mostly targeted towards decision makers and decisions pushers of small and medium size companies which are consider “going cloud” or already moving into this direction. Everyone interested in gaining knowledge in these areas are welcomed as well.
We will spend around 2–3 hours together and you will be able to pitch-in any questions until we totally goes away from original plan.

WKS401 Deploy a Deep Learning Framework on Amazon ECS and EC2 Spot InstancesAmazon Web Services
Deep learning is an implementation of machine learning that uses neural networks to solve difficult and complex problems, such as computer vision, natural language processing, and recommendations. Due to the availability of deep learning libraries and frameworks, developers have the ability to enhance the capabilities of their applications and projects.
In this workshop, you learn how to build and deploy a powerful deep learning framework called MXNet on containers. The portability and resource management benefit of containers means developers can focus less on infrastructure and more on building. The labs start by demonstrating the automation capabilities of AWS CloudFormation to stand up core infrastructure; as an added bonus, you use Spot Fleet to leverage the cost benefits of using Spot Instances, especially for developer environments. Then, you walk through creating an MXNet container in Docker and deploying it with Amazon ECS. Finally, you walk through an image classification demo of MXNet to validate that everything is working as expected.

Building a Just-in-Time Application Stack for AnalystsAvere Systems
Slide presentation from Webinar on February 17, 2016.
People in analytical roles are demanding more and more compute and storage to get their jobs done. Instead of building out infrastructure for a few employees or a department, systems engineers and IT managers can find value in creating a compute stack in the cloud to meet the fluctuating demand of their clients.
In this 45-minute webinar, you’ll learn:
- How to identify the right analytical workloads
- How to create a scalable compute environment using the cloud for analysts in under 10 minutes
- How to best manage costs associated with the cloud compute stack
- How to create dedicated client stacks with their own scratch space as well as general access to reference data
Health systems departments, research & development departments, and business analyst groups all face silos of these challenging, compute-intensive use cases. By learning how to quickly build this flexible workflow that can be scaled up and down (or off) instantly, you can support business objectives while efficiently managing costs.

About speaker:
Roman Liashenko, project manager, team lead, developer. 10 years of experience in IT.
About presentation:
“Have you ever heard about wrangles between developers and product owners, product owners and project managers, project managers and developers? I have! And very often such situation looked like a deaf person is arguing with a blindman. Misunderstandings between different project roles are pretty similar to the generation gap because, in most cases, they are based on different mindsets. I came to this conclusion after years working in IT, by playing different project roles and watching changes of my ideology. During this event we will go through the main peculiar mindset properties of each project role. It will help us to understand what does it mean to be PM/TL/Dev/PO. I really believe that even small piece of such understanding will help participants to understand their colleagues and improve their communication.”

Comparative Agile Measurement System - Ciklum White PaperCiklum Ukraine
Now when Agile software development is becoming very popular globally due to its proven effectiveness in reducing the cycle between idea generation and realization, minimizing risk of project goals’ misunderstanding, decreasing costs of addressing mistakes in software development and so on, many businesses need to monitor own adherence to Agile practices, measure efficiency of their distributed Agile teams, calculate ROI in their Agile Scrum education, etc.
As de facto there are no industry standards for measuring Agile effectiveness, it does not matter how good companies think they are at Agile unless they compare themselves against their peers and competitors.
After several years of consulting with the Agile development and project management gurus and thorough analysis of Agile behavior patterns from more than 80 clients’ own nearshore Agile software development teams, Ciklum has developed an innovative tool to measure Agile effectiveness – the Comparative Agile Measurement System (CAMS).
This framework aims to:
- Gauge productivity of distributed Agile teams in terms of teamwork, planning, knowledge, quality of delivery, technical practices, culture and requirements
- Visualize productivity gaps and detect roots of those gaps
- Develop solutions to improve teams’ productivity based on Agile best practices collected from more than 80 Ciklum Client Own Software Development Teams
This white paper aims to:
- Provide Agile practitioners with insights into the tool's background and application to distributed software development, and
- Demonstrate real-life cases of CAMS usage by such clients as Berlingske Media (Mecom Group) and Intranote

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.

Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
"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.

6. Cloud models
● IaaS
Infrastructure like physical (rarely) or virtual servers, storage, networking,
load balancers, IP addresses allocation etc
● PaaS
Hosted databases, pre-configured web-servers that can run your
application, platforms that can run your code
● aPaaS
Tools and services that automates and facilitates utilizing Cloud Services.
Providing tools for development, deployment, monitoring etc
● SaaS
Gmail, MailChimp, Highrise, Google photo, Jira Cloud etc
11. AWS is regional
● Almost all services are region specific
● Pricing of services depends on region
● Not all services are available in all regions
● New services are launching in N. Virginia (US East 1) first
http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-
services/
12. Regions are not solid
● Splitted into Availability Zones (AZ)
● AZs have independent power supply
● Cross-AZ network speed is blazing fast
● Some services belong to AZ, some - not
13. Iaas basics
● EC2
Virtual computers managed by XEN running on Intel CPUs
● EBS
SSD or magnetic drives dynamically attached to EC2 instances with
configurable size (up to 16Tb) with configurable IOPs
● ELB
Load balancing before your EC2 instances
● VPC
Creating network and group your instances/services into “Private Cloud”
14. PaaS basics
● CloudFront
CDN for downloading and streaming
● S3
Infinite storage for objects (files) with security and HTTP access
● RDS
Hosted databases like MySQL, MS SQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Aurora with
licenses included
● DynamoDB
NoSQL database designed for high performance and availability
15. PaaS basics
● Route53
Fully managed and DNS and domain registration
● ElastiCache
Fully managed hosted memcache and Redis
● SQS
Queue designed for high availability and millions of messages
16. Some more PaaS
● CloudSearch
Search engine for free-text search among millions of documents
● EMR
Fully managed Elastic MapReduce and Spark clusters
● Elastic Transcoder
Encoding media-files in different formats with different quality
● … and more
17. aPaaS

● Elastic Beanstalk
Automated web-applications and workers hosting
● CloudFormation
Manage your cloud services in one place with help of text file
● CodeDeploy
Automates deployment of your application
● OpsWorks
Chef cooked by AWS to automate provisioning and deployment
18. SaaS basics
● SES
Sending e-mails from Cloud
● SNS
Push notifications
● WorkMail
Hosted exchange server for organizations
● WorkSpaces
Virtual office became reality
20. Migration to Cloud
● One bite at a time - migration to Cloud itself is a big deal
● Cloud may have similar services to what you are using in your app. Similar
is not the same.
● Usually you have application which works somehow try to keep your
structure unchanged
● Less efforts, faster migration
31. Connecting to your Linux instance
Linux / Mac OS X
ssh -i "<keypair>.pem" ec2-user@<instance IP>
Windows
● convert .pem to .ppk using Putty KeyGen
● connect to instance using Putty
● refer help for more details
32. Connecting to your Windows instance
● Wait 4-20 minutes after starting instance
● Retrieve password using you keypair
● Use Remote Desktop to connect to your instance. Use Administrator as
name
● Password will expire, better create permanent user
33. Configuring your instance as you like
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install php5
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
import-module servermanager
add-windowsfeature Web-Server,
Web-WebServer, Web-Security
35. Accessing your web-application
● Your public IP is not static. It will be changed after reboot
● You can request IP address and attach it to instance dynamically
● In future you can assign this IP to another instance
● Put this IP to your DNS or write to host file
41. Wait. Cloud? I need more redundancy
1. Create EC2
2. Connect to it
3. Configure it
4. Stop it
5. Create AMI
6. Launch required number of instances using this AMI
7. Deploy code to them
8. Access website
45. Elastic Load Balancer
● Accept incoming traffic and distribute among instances
● Monitors instance availability
● Can accept HTTPS traffic and map to HTTP endpoint of web-server
● Allows to not expose web-servers to worldwide
● Allows Connection Draining
● Provides useful metrics like latency, requests per minute, count of 2XX,
4XX and 5XX response codes
46. I’ve become popular. Need to scale
Instance roles:
● Web/front-end
● Worker/back-end
● DB
Scaling strategies:
● Vertical scaling
● Horizontal scaling
47. Vertical scaling
● Good if your bottleneck is CPU, RAM or disk
● Can be done with downtime or without it
48. Vertical scaling of EC2.
● Simple - downtime
○ Stop
○ Change instance type
○ Start
● Complex - no downtime
○ Launch new instance with required instance type
○ Switch traffic from old instance to new one
49. Vertical scaling of RDS
● Can be done without downtime in case of Multi-AZ deployment
● Not that fast in any way
56. Finally
● AWS can scale our application automatically looking on CPU load
● AWS can scale-down instances when load decreased
57.
58. Small catch-up
● We know what is EC2 and how to deploy application first time
● We know how to horizontally scale up and down your application
● It looks pretty cumbersome
● We don’t know where we should store users’ files
● We don’t know how to improve website performance
● We don’t know how to update your application
60. Bad reasons to migrate
● Migrating everything by just virtualizing existing stuff and expecting
savings
● Expecting magical performance boost and “Cloud will solve all problems”
61. Good reasons to migrate
● Extremely flexible
● Pay for what you use
o cheap to fail
o cutting cost of testing and applying new technologies
● Fast changes - get what you need when you need
● Allows to focus on your product - not on CDN, Mail sending, file storages,
62. File storage
● DIY - Distributed File System
● Let’s Amazon handle it - Elastic File System (Preview)
● Ready to change code - S3
