Speaker: Simon Elisha, Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services
We built event-driven user interfaces for decades. What about bringing the same approach to mobile, web, and IoT backend applications? You have to understand how data flows and what is the propagation of changes, using reactive programming techniques. You can focus on the core functionalities to build and the relationships among the resources you use. Your application behaves similarly to a “spreadsheet”, where depending resources are updated automatically when something “happens”, and is decomposed into scalable microservices without having to manage the infrastructure. The resulting architecture is efficient and cost effective to run on AWS and managing availability, scalability and security becomes part of the implementation itself.

In questa sessione illustreremo come pre-processare i dati che contengono una componente temporale e successivamente utilizzare un algoritmo che a partire dal tipo di dato analizzato produce un forecasting accurato.
Big Data per le Startup: come creare applicazioni Big Data in modalità Server...Amazon Web Services
La varietà e la quantità di dati che si crea ogni giorno accelera sempre più velocemente e rappresenta una opportunità irripetibile per innovare e creare nuove startup.
Tuttavia gestire grandi quantità di dati può apparire complesso: creare cluster Big Data su larga scala sembra essere un investimento accessibile solo ad aziende consolidate. Ma l’elasticità del Cloud e, in particolare, i servizi Serverless ci permettono di rompere questi limiti.
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.

2. A (Very) Brief History of the US NSDI
• Executive Order 12906 (1994) called for the establishment of
the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)
• Defined as the “technologies, policies, and people necessary to
promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of
government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic
community”
• Goals include reducing duplication and costs, while making more
geographic information available to the public and partners in
government and the private sector
• Standards development and registries (Geospatial One Stop,
Data.gov) followed
• Tens of thousands of datasets registered to shared catalogs
5. The Need for a New Strategy
• The role of government in the geospatial ecosystem has
changed
• Use of geospatial data and maps in the public sector is
pervasive
• Some significant challenges to address:
• Past approaches have not allowed for significant collaboration
among partners in the NSDI or users of data/services/maps
• Making sure it all “works” when you need it to (e.g., service
availability and quality)
• We have (mostly) made metadata for people to read…not
machines
7. What Is GeoPlatform.gov?
• Implements key objectives of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)
Strategic Plan, and the National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) Management Plan
• Consistent, reliable portal to nation’s vast ecosystem of open geospatial
data/services
• Means for our stakeholders to publish their content once and have it accessed from
anywhere
• A services platform for providing direct access to the nation’s online geospatial
resources
• Single point of access for finding data assets, services, layers and maps
• Provides shared hosting services for our stakeholders
• We deal with the tough IT challenges: consistent access, reliability, scalability, and
performance
• Shared core application services for stakeholder collaboration (e.g., building shared
map galleries for a community of interest)
A concerted effort to share open geospatial data and technology
8. Why GeoPlatform.gov?
• Reduce costs of producing, managing,
and sharing authoritative open data
• Move towards interoperable web
services to provision all “nationally
significant” data
• Provide robust infrastructure for
hosting these services where needed
• Assess, measure, and monitor data
and service quality
• Make data and maps more usable
through shared knowledge
• Enhance platform services and
facilitate access to nation’s geospatial
resources for developers

9. What We’ve Accomplished in the Past 18 Months
• Building out core services for our SaaS/PaaS
• Building better tools for managing our assets
• Laying foundations for secure, reliable, scalable, hardened
services in the Cloud
• Starting to make it easier for people to find the right resources for
the right task
• Building and testing core services for developers to access
platform for open data and open services
Towards high-performance web services for core geospatial assets (NGDA)
• Dashboards
• Asset Registries
• Map Viewers
• Shared Maps
• Web Service APIs
10. Towards 5★ Open Services
From open data sharing towards an open services experience
Level of Openness Description Benefits
★
Proprietary service is available on the web through a
licensed (for fee), non-standard interface
O.K. It's nice to have service on the web, however, the licensed and proprietary
nature of the interface hinders interoperability and widespread adoption.
★★
Proprietary service is available on the web through a
publicly available, non-standard interface
Splendid! It's great to have a publicly available service on the web, however, the
proprietary nature of the interface hinders interoperability and widespread
adoption.
★★★
Service is available on the web through a publicly
available, candidate open standard interface (i.e., a
new standard with public support and tangible adoption)
Excellent! The barriers to interoperability have been lowered by the use of a
candidate open standard. (This stage is a necessary step in evolving the platform
and getting others to use it.)
★★★★
Service is available on the web through a publicly
available, open standard interface
Wonderful! The barriers to interoperability have been greatly reduced by the use of
a well-established, adopted open standard, from a credible standards organization
like W3C or OGC.
★★★★★
Open source service is available on the web through a
publicly available, open standard interface
Brilliant! Not only is the service open and interoperable, but its source code is
available for those who wish to integrate and tailor this reusable service for their
needs.
