Twilio provides a communications API that enables voice, VoIP, and messaging capabilities for web and mobile apps. They migrated their infrastructure from the isolated EC2-Classic platform to EC2-VPC to enable global routing between regions and services. This reduced complexity, improved performance and latency, and allowed for more frequent and less risky deployments. The migration required bridging traffic between EC2-Classic and EC2-VPC instances and using software routers and service discovery for peering between regions. The new global VPC infrastructure improved customer experience and satisfaction.
(ARC403) From One to Many: Evolving VPC Design | AWS re:Invent 2014Amazon Web Services
As more customers adopt Amazon VPC 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, multiregion 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 multitenant VPCs, conducting VPC-to-VPC traffic, running multiple hybrid environments over AWS Direct Connect, and integrating corporate multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) clouds into multiregion VPCs.
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) lets you provision a logically isolated section of the AWS cloud where you can launch AWS resources in a virtual network that you define. In this talk, we discuss advanced tasks in Amazon VPC, including the implementation of Amazon VPC peering, the creation of multiple network zones, the establishment of private connections, and the use of multiple routing tables. We also provide information for current Amazon EC2-Classic network customers and help you prepare to adopt Amazon VPC.

Docker containers offer a way to develop and test your application in the same environment in which it runs in production. You can use tools such as the ECS CLI and Docker Compose for local testing of applications; Jenkins and AWS CodePipeline for building and workflow orchestration; Amazon EC2 Container Registry to store your container images; and Amazon EC2 Container Service to manage and scale containers. In this session, you will learn how to build containers into your development workflow and orchestrate container deployments using Amazon ECS. You will hear how Okta runs 30,000 tests per developer commit and releases 10,000 new lines of code each week to production with a CI system based on 100% AWS services. We'll also discuss how Okta uses ECS for parallelized testing in CI and for production microservices in a multi-region, always on cloud service.
AWS re:Invent 2016: Scaling Security Resources for Your First 10 Million Cust...Amazon Web Services
Cloud computing offers many advantages, such as the ability to scale your web applications or website on demand. But how do you scale your security and compliance infrastructure along with the business? Join this session to understand best practices for scaling your security resources as you grow from zero to millions of users. Specifically, you learn the following:
How to scale your security and compliance infrastructure to keep up with a rapidly expanding threat base.
The security implications of scaling for numbers of users and numbers of applications, and how to satisfy both needs.
How agile development with integrated security testing and validation leads to a secure environment.
Best practices and design patterns of a continuous delivery pipeline and the appropriate security-focused testing for each.
The necessity of treating your security as code, just as you would do with infrastructure.
The services covered in this session include AWS IAM, Auto Scaling, Amazon Inspector, AWS WAF, and Amazon Cognito.
(NET409) How Twilio Migrated Its Services from EC2-Classic to EC2-VPCAmazon Web Services
"Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) has many obvious benefits. For example, you can use Amazon VPC to define a virtual network in your own logically isolated area within the AWS cloud, and launch your EC2 instances into a VPC. But how can you take advantage of the EC2-VPC platform if your services and infrastructure are already deployed in the EC2-Classic platform? In this deep-dive session, learn how to safely and reliably migrate from EC2-Classic to EC2-VPC with zero downtime. We show you how Twilio approached the problem of a VPC migration, or what we internally called the “Moving Datacenters Project.” We discuss the technologies and tools (both internal and external) we used to complete the migration, the infrastructure we built along the way, and the lessons we learned.
Session sponsored by Twilio."

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
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.
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.
13. Issues
All regions completely separated
–Traffic has to go through known endpoints
•Un-necessary hops
•Complicates deployments
•More difficult to debug
•Easier to create routing bugs
14. Forcing us to…
•Open up firewalls
•Secure traffic between regions using our own “VPN”
•Traffic has to go through known endpoints
•Known endpoints assigned EIPs
15. Which means…
•Un-necessary hops
•Complicates deployments
•More difficult to debug
•Easier to introduce bugs
•Cannot deploy nodes behind EIPs without affecting traffic
16. That translates to…
•Fewer deploys
•Riskier deploys
•Harder to nail down bugs
•Takes longer to get fixes out
•Less happy customers!
18. “EC2 2.0”(aka EC2-VPC)
•Global routing tables
•Enhanced Networking with SR-IOV
•Elastic network interfaces
•Software defined network
•Hardware security manager
Twilioconsiders VPC an evolutionary step or upgrade of the Amazon EC2 platform.
19. Global routingtables
•Per subnet or per VPC routing tables
•Route traffic to instances
•Tunnel traffic between regions
Routing traffic to instances enables the easy creation of things like loadbalancers, tunnels, or even VPCs inside of VPCs.
20. HVM and SR-IOV
•HVM images with Enhanced Networking
•PCI Express speeds to network adapter
•Low-latency access to network adapter
•Up to 10gb network speeds
Enhanced Networking with SR-IOV means fast performance even under virtualized hardware.
21. Elastic networkinterfaces
•Multiple EIPs and multiple private IPs
•Multiple ENIs per instance
•Security groups follow an ENI
•ENI has a MAC address
ENIs are more like network cards that you can move around and attach to different instances.
22. Software definednetwork
•Control over my instances’ routes
•Number my own network
•Network ACLs
•Data-in-transit protected by more than just a security group
•Provision networks like virtual machines
Use of a software defined network solves the data-in-transit issue that many certifications require.
23. Hardware securitymanager
•Easily integrates with IAM policies
•Centralized management of keys and certificates
•Easily and quickly encrypt customer data
Use of the HSM solves the data-at-rest issue that many certifications require.
25. TwilioCloudRequirements
•Services can be deployed anywhere
•Services can communicate anywhere
•Services can be discovered anywhere
Solving the issue of global service discovery is easy once the underlying cloud infrastructure is in place.
27. EC2-VPC Building Blocks
•Global routing tables
•HVM and SR-IOV
•Elastic Network Interfaces
•Software Defined Network
•Hardware Security Manager
28. Region-to-regionconnectivity
Performing routing among multiple VPCs in different regions is a bit more complicated and necessitates the use of a routing protocol.
router

us-east-1 / 10.1.0.0
us-west-2 / 10.2.0.0
vpc-abcdef
vpc-zyxwv
IPSEC tunnel

32. Which may look insignificant,but...
•A single global network
–Global servicediscovery
•Much easier call flow
–Easier to debug
–Less risk to deploy
–More frequent deploys
–Call setup latency down 25%
•Less infrastructure and complexity
33. Also…
•Blocking firewall rules
–Important for stopping attacks
•ENI
–Aid us in deploying new edge services
–Improved network performance
–Better audio quality
36. Migration Requirements
•Equivalent to moving a datacenter
–Zero downtime
–Bridge traffic between services in a region
–Easily discover services in EC2-Classic or EC2-VPC
37. Peering vs bridging
Peering is two VPCs talking in different regions.
Bridging is EC2-Classic and EC2-VPC in the same account talking in the same region.
vpc-bbb
vpc-aaa
vpc-aaa
classic
us-east-1
us-west-2
us-east-1
38. Migrating from EC2-Classic to EC2-VPC
•Use IP Tunnel Manager for bridging traffic
•Use software routers for peering traffic
•Use Service Discovery for discovering new services as they move
Make sure any services you want to move from EC2-Classic to EC2-VPC share the same AWS account and are in the same region!
40. •Services can be deployed globally
•Services can communicate globally
•Services can be discovered globally
•New VoIP infrastructure deployed in:
–all regions around the world
–taking live traffic for new products
–existing carrier traffic is being migrated
Where we are today
41. How could this have been easier?
•Feature to bridgeEC2-Classic and EC2-VPC
•Feature to connect VPCs in different regions
Are you listening,AWS? Maybe. :-)
