AWS re:Invent 2016: Delighting Customers Through Device Data with Salesforce ...Amazon Web Services
The Internet of Things (IoT) produces vast quantities of data that promise a deep, always connected view into customer experiences through their devices. In this connected age, the question is no longer how do you gather customer data, but what do you do with all that data. How do you ingest at massive scale and develop meaningful experiences for your customers? In this session, you learn how Salesforce IoT Cloud works in concert with the AWS IoT engine to ingest and transform all of the data generated by every one of your customers, partners, devices, and sensors into meaningful action. You also see how customers are using Salesforce and AWS together to process massive quantities of data, build business rules with simple, intuitive tools, and engage proactively with customers in real time. Session sponsored by Salesforce.
Microsoft Azure vs Amazon Web Services (AWS) Services & Feature MappingIlyas F ☁☁☁
If you are a Cloud Architect, Developer, IT Manager, Director or whoever may be, if you are associated with Azure or AWS cloud in some form, I’m sure you must have come across a common question.
“What is the alternate service available in Azure or AWS vice versa and it’s pricing?” I’m sure you will say yes!
Agreed, it’s hard to remember all the services offered by public clouds, i.e. Azure and AWS. Remembering existing services and their benefits itself is a big task, on top of that updating ourselves with the new feature releases and enhancements is another major task.
So I put together a Service & Feature Mappings between Microsoft Azure & AWS for my and colleagues quick reference.
I hope you also find this piece informative.

Databases are the heart of most PHP projects but roughly TWO PERCENT of PHP programmers have had any real training in Structured Query Language, SQL. Then they wonder why their queries perform poorly, why they get N+1 problems, and suddenly the database becomes the choke point of the project. This presentation will cover the basics of relational algebra (no algebra, math or calculus skills needed!!!!), how to think in sets with Venn Diagrams, and how to let the database do the heavy lifting for you. So if you want to write high performing database queries and be admired as a database deity by your co workers then you need to be in this session!
Bringing SQL to NoSQL: Rich, Declarative Query for NoSQLKeshav Murthy
Abstract
NoSQL databases bring the benefits of schema flexibility and
elastic scaling to the enterprise. Until recently, these benefits have
come at the expense of giving up rich declarative querying as
represented by SQL.
In today’s world of agile business, developers and organizations need
the benefits of both NoSQL and SQL in a single platform. NoSQL
(document) databases provide schema flexibility; fast lookup; and
elastic scaling. SQL-based querying provides expressive data access
and transformation; separation of querying from modeling and storage;
and a unified interface for applications, tools, and users.
Developers need to deliver applications that can easily evolve,
perform, and scale. Otherwise, the cost, effort, and delay in keeping
up with changing business needs will become significant disadvantages.
Organizations need sophisticated and rapid access to their operational data, in
order to maintain insight into their business. This access should
support both pre-defined and ad-hoc querying, and should integrate
with standard analytical tools.
This talk will cover how to build applications that combine the
benefits of NoSQL and SQL to deliver agility, performance, and
scalability. It includes:
- N1QL, which extends SQL to JSON
- JSON data modeling
- Indexing and performance
- Transparent scaling
- Integration and ecosystem
You will walk away with an understanding of the design patterns and
best practices for effective utilization of NoSQL document
databases - all using open-source technologies.

14. Step 1: Understand Your Context
Do You have an existing Cloud Strategy?
What steps has your firm already taken?
Most firms have adopted some sort of cloud technology
Business Apps (Office 365, Google for Work, etc.)
Email perhaps one of the most common cloud technologies
So what happens without a good strategy?
Uneven adoption
Unable to achieve tactical objectives
You will complicate your IT operations
16. Step 2: Understand Your Business Drivers
To be successful, you need to know:
The compelling business reasons/drivers to move to the Cloud
How stakeholders align with those drivers
How your existing strategy aligns with your 2016 adoption plans
The three most common drivers
Improve agility of business
Transform IT Ops (not necessarily cost-driven)
Reduce Costs (IT or business costs)
17. Common Cloud Business Drivers

Impacts on People and Organizations
20. Impacts On Business Processes
Processes may be Eliminated, Changed, or
Added
• Dependent on Types of Services Moved to the Cloud
Identify and Analyze how Core Processes
are Affected
Keep In Mind
• Changes to Processes will Normally Incur Costs
• Will Impact on People (Feedback Loop)
21. Impacts On Budgets
Moving to the Cloud Shifts Costs from Capital Costs
to Operational Costs (Capex to Opex)
• This is usually a concern for larger firms
Don't Forget to Assess Your License Commitments
• Time Your Move to the Cloud with HW/SW License Renewal
Cycle to Extent Possible
Understand How Cloud Charges are Incurred
22. IT Environment Impacts
Hybrid Environments Becoming the Norm
Imposes Changes to:
Administration
Governance/Policies
Developers
All Need to be Factored into Costs and Budget Planning
23. Understanding Architectural Changes
As you adopt the Cloud…you will probably build a hybrid environment

Editor's Notes
Adam Edit
Just a quick 30 seconds to level set who we are and what we do. Portal Solutions designs and delivers digital workplace solutions using Microsoft technologies. Our legacy has been in the sharepoint space, developing custom sharpoint solutions over the last 11 years, with hundreds of deployments. We have more recently been working with our customers to move them to Office 365, helping them with planning/roadmap, user experience design, technical architecture(particularly around hybrid deployments), implementation and support. We have offices located here in the Washington DC area and Boston.
At the end of presentation we will provide some specific on our approach to quickly and cost effectively setting up pilot programs on Office 365.

So, before we jump into the meat of the session here today, we’d like to take a very quick, one-question poll to determine your motivations moving to the cloud. This will help us tailor the presentation a bit.
We are going to start the poll now so you should see a question pop up on your screen.
Core tenants
At our core, Microsoft has always been a productivity and Platform Company. We want to use that strength and experience in enterprise software development to expand our vision for the mobile-first and cloud-first world.
Our goal is to empower every individual in every organization on any device running any OS.
We think about productivity we think about it very broadly – it’s not just word, ppt and excel and it’s not just about the individual but about teams and business processes in a world where we continually blur the line between work and life. Today we have the most comprehensive and ubiquitous SaaS application portfolio with O365 and CRMOL. We are working to bring that alive for our US government customers today.
Mobility is no longer about the mobile device but about the mobility of the individual and the ability of that individual to be productive on any device running any OS.
Take for example Delve and Power BI - team discovery and business insights/information management
To power these SaaS applications we have built a hyper scale cloud that provides both IaaS and PaaS capabilities called Azure.
And in the center to tie this all together we have Azure AD – Azure AD integrates directory services, identity governance, security, and application access across server and cloud.
Ask Dale a question: Why this is important?
Azure AD and Access Control services– single sign-on, integrated hybrid identity
SQL Azure – not just virtualized SQL
HD Insight based on Hadoop
Express Route networking services
Azure web sites – PaaS web site creation capabilities
Media Services – Last Olympics used a solution based on this service for live streaming and on demand video.
Virtual machine hosting that supports not just Windows server but multiple Linux distributions including Ubuantu, SuSe etc…
Multiple OSS development frameworks and languages….
So, before we continue we’d like to take another very quick, one-question poll to determine your organization’s position.
We are going to start the poll now so you should see a question pop up on your screen.
Daniel to jump on first bullet
Dale to ask Daniel, do your customers do enough planning when we move to the cloud?
