Choosing the Right Cloud Storage for Media and Entertainment Workloads - Apri...Amazon Web Services
- Learn about various AWS storage tiers with respect to cost, performance, throughput and durability for large-scale distributed processing workloads.
- Learn about various AWS storage tiers with respect to unique media workloads such as transcoding, QC, VFX/Animation rendering.
Learn about using AWS storage services for hybrid workloads for both content repositories in the cloud and processing on-premises or vice versa.
- Learn about AWS storage options and how to migrate legacy media applications running on the cloud to re-engineered applications.
- Learn about shared filesystem options on AWS including Amazon EFS and how to build your own using partner products on Amazon EC2 and Amazon EBS.
Media companies, driven by higher resolution and an increasing amount of content due to direct B2C delivery, are looking to cost effectively leverage cloud compute scalability. Emerging use cases, such as Media Supply Chains, VFX/Animation rendering, and transcoding for OTT streaming, require careful planning when being deployed to the cloud. Storage is an important component critical to the performance and processing of media.
Amazon Web Services provides a variety of highly available, cost effective storage solutions that can deliver the right performance for the underlying application. This technical session will discuss various cloud storage strategies for different content processing workloads. We will take a deep dive at Media Supply Chains (including content transcoding, QC, mastering and packaging), post production tasks in the cloud, and other Media & Entertainment workloads.
In this session from the London AWS Summit 2015 Tech Track Replay, AWS Solutions Architect Steven Bryen introduces the new Amazon Elastic File System Service.
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) is a file storage service for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. Amazon EFS is easy to use and provides a simple interface that allows you to create and configure file systems quickly and easily. With Amazon EFS, storage capacity is elastic, growing and shrinking automatically as you add and remove files, so your applications have the storage they need, when they need it.
Amazon EFS supports the Network File System version 4 (NFSv4) protocol, so the applications and tools that you use today work seamlessly with Amazon EFS. Multiple Amazon EC2 instances can access an Amazon EFS file system at the same time, providing a common data source for workloads and applications running on more than one instance.
With Amazon EFS, you pay only for the storage used by your file system. You don't need to provision storage in advance and there is no minimum fee or setup cost. Amazon EFS is designed for a wide variety of use cases like content repositories, development environments, and home directories. With on-demand scaling and performance, Amazon EFS is an ideal solution for Big Data applications.
These days, EVERY workload is considered critical by someone in the organization. As a result, SLAs are shrinking. IT is challenged to meet these SLAs, but there isn’t enough budget to provide services like disaster recovery (DR) using traditional methods and infrastructure. The good news is that public cloud platforms, like AWS, are becoming the de facto infrastructure choice for DR. However, workload portability solutions that simplify cross-platform or cloud recovery are required to meet most RTO & RPO SLAs in the cloud. AWS provides the infrastructure we need to bring DR to tier 2 and tier 3 workloads that have never been able to afford it before. Now, we need orchestration and automation to make it scalable and reliable.
In this session you will learn key considerations and practical steps for getting to the AWS cloud and how you can leverage Amazon S3 storage for cost-effective disaster recovery. Dow Jones will also share details on their migration to AWS Cloud, the benefits realized there, and what the future looks like. Session sponsored by Commvault.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.
