AWS Enterprise Day | Running Critical Business Applications on AWSAmazon Web Services
The Cloud Journey for many enterprise customers starts with an initial migration of websites and mobile applications to AWS, followed by deployment of their critical business services. These services, such as SAP and Oracle, are typically more complex and underpin many business processes in the customer's organisation and may be deployed as hybrid solutions, integrated closely with other internal and external services. To do this, customers need to have fast and reliable connectivity to existing on-premise networks, as we covered in the previous session. Let's look at how we can now build on that to help you understand the benefits that many customers have achieved when they moved their business applications to AWS.
AWS Summit London 2014 - JUST EAT - High Availability and Rapid Changedaniel-richardson
Nearly 1,000 takeaways ordered a minute from hungry consumers, with near real time confirmation from restaurants and delivery of their food just 45 minutes later is a hard technical challenge.
AWS allows the many small engineering teams at JUST EAT to take responsibility to meet that challenge, as they build and operate a platform that delivers a takeaway experience for consumers to love.
Learn how we migrated our e-commerce platform to AWS and organise both our platform and teams around the the twin goals of rapid change and high availability. During the session we break things live in production, and watch how the JUST EAT platform is designed around AWS to recover quickly and automatically.
As more customers adopt Amazon Virtual Private Cloud architectures, the features and flexibility of the service are squaring off against increasingly complex design requirements. This session follows the evolution of a single regional VPC into a multi-VPC, multi-region design with diverse connectivity into on-premises systems and infrastructure. Along the way, we investigate creative customer solutions for scaling and securing outbound VPC traffic, managing multi-tenant VPCs, conducting VPC-to-VPC traffic, extending corporate federation and name services into VPC, running multiple hybrid environments over AWS Direct Connect, and integrating corporate multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) clouds into multi-region VPCs.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides on-demand computing resources and services in the cloud, with pay-as-you-go pricing. This session provides an overview and describes how using AWS resources instead of your own is like purchasing electricity from a power company instead of running your own generator. Using AWS resources provides many of the same benefits as a public utility: Capacity exactly matches your need, you pay only for what you use, economies of scale result in lower costs, and the service is provided by a vendor experienced in running large-scale networks. A high-level overview of AWS infrastructure (such as AWS Regions and Availability Zones) and AWS services is provided as part of this session.

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

8. Let’s Get Started:
We’ll learn how to:
–
–
–
–
–
–
Set up an AWS account
Create your SSH keys (used to log into your instances)
Create a security group (firewall)
Start an EC2 instance (virtual machine)
Connect to your EC2 instance
Create a CloudWatch alarm to email you if your server is under heavy
load
– Take a snapshot (backup) of your instance and restore it
– Use S3 (Internet connected storage)
9. Sign Up
• Sign up though https://aws.amazon.com
• You need a CC
• There will be a phone verification
11. Creating your SSH Key
•
•
•
•
SSH stands for Secure Shell
SSH keys are used for secured access to EC2 (Linux)
SSH keys avoid password weaknesses
Can import your own or use AWS created keys
13. Creating a Security Group
• Security Groups are firewalls for your instances
• By default, the Security Group blocks everything
• Choose which protocols & ports are open
– Can use port ranges (e.g. 22-24)
• Choose which addresses the ports are open to
– Uses CIDR rules for IP address access
– (use /32 for allowing a single address)
15. Start a New Instance
• Instances are virtual machines running in the cloud
• You have full control of the instance and can install
any software that you choose
• In this process, you define what kind of machine you
want (processing power, HD space, etc.)
• You will need:
– A Key Pair to connect to your instance via SSH
– A Security Group to put your instance in
18. Connecting to EC2 Instances
• SSH is used to connect to Linux
–
–
–
–
There is a Java-based terminal available in the EC2 Console
Linux/OSX: Terminal
Windows: PuTTY
Note: If you are using an Linux distribution that has a GUI, you can
use a remote GUI tool like VNC
• Remote Desktop is used to connect to Windows
– Windows: MSTSC (Microsoft Terminal Services Client)
– Linux/OSX: 2X client
– Note: you can also use Remote PowerShell or a 3rd party shell
extension with Windows.
19. Connecting to a Linux Instance (from Linux/OSX)
• Open a terminal window
• ssh -i {ssh private key location} ec2user@{public DNS name}
20. Connecting to a Linux Instance (from Windows)
• Download/Install PuTTY
– http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
• Convert .pem file to .ppk with puttygen
• Create a connection in PuTTY
21. Connecting to a Windows Instance (from Windows)
• Open a Remote Desktop connection
• Windows + r or start and then the “run” option
• mstsc /v:{EC2 instance public DNS Name}
24. CloudWatch
• CloudWatch provides monitoring information for
your EC2 instances
• CloudWatch allows you to specify actions to take
when a condition is met
– Example 1: Send an email when CPU Utilization >80% for 5
minutes
– Example 2: Add another machine to an Auto-Scaling Group if
Average Disk Read IOPS across an Auto-Scaling Group exceeds
500
– Example 3: Remove a machine from an Auto-Scaling Group if
Network input drops below 2,000 Bytes
26. Additional Information
• CloudWatch works with Auto-Scaling
• When you have defined an Auto-Scaling Group,
CloudWatch Alarms can be used to increase
and decrease the resources in the Auto-Scaling
Group.
27. Elastic Block Storage
• Elastic Block Storage (EBS) is block level
storage for EC2 instances (think HDD)
• EBS volumes can be removed and re-attached
• Custom volume sizes from 1TB – 1 GB (RAID
for larger)
• Use Provisioned IOPS for predictable I/O
29. Restoring a Snapshot / Creating an AMI
• AMIs are Amazon Machine Images
