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.
Con l’ascesa delle architetture di microservizi e delle ricche applicazioni mobili e Web, le API sono più importanti che mai per offrire agli utenti finali una user experience eccezionale. In questa sessione impareremo come affrontare le moderne sfide di progettazione delle API con GraphQL, un linguaggio di query API open source utilizzato da Facebook, Amazon e altro e come utilizzare AWS AppSync, un servizio GraphQL serverless gestito su AWS. Approfondiremo diversi scenari, comprendendo come AppSync può aiutare a risolvere questi casi d’uso creando API moderne con funzionalità di aggiornamento dati in tempo reale e offline.
Inoltre, impareremo come Sky Italia utilizza AWS AppSync per fornire aggiornamenti sportivi in tempo reale agli utenti del proprio portale web.

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.
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.

Editor's Notes
We’ll cover the following topics -
Clearing: This slide represents a number of non-technical questions, concerns, and techniques that you need to address during your migration planning.
Content: as you can see, there are a number of things you need to think about and planned for.
Transition: To better organize these items, it is helpful to discuss them in the context of a journey.
Clearing: so what makes up the journey?
Content: requires planning and an adoption roadmap. Your strategy should be aligned closely with your business goals and objectives. It can be disruptive and will drive significant change not only to you're IT organization but in many cases to your business as well. Most journey starts small, you can learn iterate and accelerate as you gain knowledge and experience.
Transitions: So how do you know if you are being successful in your journey?
Clearing: here you see seven key elements to a successful journey.
Content: aligning on business requirements, creating a vision, defining architectures in patterns and validating those architectures, providing guard rails to make it safe to experiment, building a cloud Center of excellence to allow you to crawl first, then train others to build momentum and walk, leading to institutionalizing processes, further accelerating your journey. Organizational change is difficult and migrating to the cloud will require you to consider very carefully how much change your organization will be able to absorb.
Transitions: to help you be more successful, AWS has created the cloud adoption framework, based on our experiences helping customers with their journeys.
The AWS Cloud Adoption framework is a simple and agile process to achieve sustainable business value with AWS cloud services. This adaptive four-phase framework is designed for small or large cloud transformations. It organizes the planning cycle and aligns the cloud strategy to the business objectives.
Align Cloud & Business Strategy - Understand the business strategy, needs and requirements. Incorporate the business requirements into the cloud adoption strategy. Engage stakeholders, develop business case and TCO
Rapid Discovery & Planning - Baseline your capabilities referencing our cloud adoption perspectives. Fully understand and document the opportunities to develop your cloud capabilities. Plan your journey and develop your unique strategic adoption roadmap. Execute the plan
Realize & Sustain Business Value - Integrate best practices, run, measure and report the value of your cloud services. Look for opportunities to enhance, simplify, and optimize your environment. Update business case and TCO models
Innovate & Transform - Increase the value of the cloud by; Incorporating a DevOps approach of continual improvement, Review your applications and develop a strategy to innovate & transform the application portfolio, Develop a cloud first strategy of agile application development, fail fast and increase application value to the business
Where you’re having to deal with Planning and assessment, migration tools, consulting partners, internal training, etc. and all of these components have one common thread – how to estimate their cost, so that your Total Cost of Ownership reflects it and even more so – estimate the total cost of “Migration” so that you can figure out – is it worth it? What’s my breakeven point? Do I wait for few more months, as an example, so I don’t incur lease penalties, etc.
This graphic depicts what we mean by bubble…where timeline stretches out and costs rise, especially more so when there’s no clarity or direction on each component. And the time and actual costs do add to the overall cost of migration.
Let’s hit the challenges head on and start with the laying out what the challenges are that our customers typically face as they are considering migration to AWS – and we all know migrations are not easy whether they are from physical to physical or physical to virtual, including into AWS.
So, let’s break them down in manageable chunks and address them head on -
In today’s world, speed and timing matter. This agility combined with innovation (USP) has proven to be a game-changer for several organizations across various industries.
Innovation requires research and development. Organizations need resources, including people and technology, to promote and support such experimentation. And when you have an idea, if you take too long to productize it and release to the market, you might lose to your competition. Many organizations have realized that the cloud enables speed, agility, and the freedom to experiment while being cost-efficient.
By running your applications in the cloud, your development and technology teams can focus on creating innovative solutions instead of firefighting everyday problems.
The top business drivers for organizations to migrate to and use cloud include cost, agility, freedom to experiment, and faster development.
A few migration projects have been driven by a specific timeline that was based on an event that significantly affects the customer’s business operations. For example, an expiring lease on a data center led one organization to explore the benefits of migrating to the AWS cloud. Although the business driver for this scenario can be associated with cost, their cloud migration project was driven by a specific timeline––all resources must be migrated to the cloud before the lease expiration. Other examples of such significant events include hardware refresh cycles, expiring IT Outsourcing (ITO) contracts, or a large-scale IT/digital transformation program.
Your business driver for migrating to the cloud plays a key role in planning your cloud migration journey. It will help you in determining a migration strategy and prioritizing applications.
It is important to note that although your organization might have identified an overall business driver to migrate to the cloud, you could still have specific motivations at a much granular level like data center, business unit, application, team, and workload.
Example An organization decides to migrate all their data centers to the AWS cloud over the next two years with a long-term goal to increase agility and reduce time to market. However, the lease on one of their data centers is expiring in six months. So the immediate need (at the data center level) is to migrate all the resources in that data center to the AWS cloud.
First and foremost – let’s hit the ones most customers are challenged with upfront - your on-prem costs. And why? So that you can make an informed decision on whether migration now or later makes sense, including getting a handle on the cost of migration itself!
We have all heard from customers that many customers get started on AWS for the cost savings as that’s an important data point for your decision to migrate, but we also hear that stay for the agility and innovation – or as I call is strategic value that cloud enables them to do – and it’s difficult to quantify that in terms of hard dollars or cost savings, so we won’t discuss that in this webinar.
In my experience, most customers have a fairly decent understanding of and good data on Server costs, storage costs, and network costs, including OS costs and maintenance expenses (areas highlighted in blue). However, where I see customers struggle is in blue areas and even more so on the yellow areas. But, even in areas where customers feel like they have good data,
Now, we just talked about various cost drivers and elements that make up the TCO or cost to run your applications on-prem. But when you’re thinking about migration - you’re probably starting with the “cost to migrate” first– and speed and process decisions affect the migration costs that we’ll talk about now.
This matrix shows an example of the roles and responsibilities that various teams within a Cloud CoE may assume throughout a cloud migration project.
R: Responsible – team that does the work to complete the task/phase
A: Accountable – team that is ultimately held accountable for the completion of the task/phase
C: Consulted – team whose advice is sought during completion of the task/phase
I: Informed – team who is kept up-to-date on progress and/or outcome of the task/phase
Content: AWS has a rich ecosystem of consulting and technology partners, and you may want to leverage their tools for migration. For example, AWS has teamed up with Racemi which we announced in June at our Symposium, where you can leverage their Dynacenter migration software for no charge.
Transition:
Assessing your cloud migration readiness helps to build a business case for migrating your application to the cloud. It will also help in early identification of special considerations and constraints that might require more time for migrating the application to the cloud or even limit the migration of the application. For example, if some applications in your environment have specific compliance and regulatory requirements, those need to be highlighted early in the process to be taken into due consideration during migration planning.
A technical assessment is required to understand which applications are more suited to the cloud architecturally and strategically. At some point during the migration process, you will have to determine which applications will move into the cloud first and which applications will move later. This topic will be covered in more detail in later modules.
Once you have fully thought through those aspects, let’s go ahead and build a plan to migrate.
And really build an agile migration plan – where you start small with workloads with lower complexity (and you can
