State of Infrastructure as Code:
At Amazon Web Services we think about Infrastructure as Code being able to impact not just your low level infrastructure or operating systems but everything from the virtual cement floor of your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud up through the applications your customers interface with.
Come take a tour of the space as we see it. Learn what layers there are to managing your infrastructure as code and what services and tools AWS and its Partners exist across these.
Infrastructure as Code: Best Practices with AWS CloudFormation- September 2016 Webinar Series:
AWS CloudFormation lets you model, provision, and update a collection of AWS resources with JSON templates. You can manage your Infrastructure as Code and deploy stacks from a single Amazon EC2 instance to multi-tier applications. In this session, we will explore CloudFormation best practices in planning and provisioning your AWS infrastructure. We will cover recent product updates that will help users to make the most of this service and demonstrate new features. This session will benefit both new and experienced users of CloudFormation.
Improving Infrastructure Governance on AWS - AWS June 2016 Webinar Series:
As your teams and infrastructure grow, it becomes more difficult to track IT resource changes as well as identify who made changes and when. It also becomes harder to enforce standards for your infrastructure resources, resulting in configuration drift and potential security issues. On AWS, you can easily standardize infrastructure configurations for commonly used IT services while also enabling self-service provisioning for your company. Once these resources are provisioned, you can then track how these resources are connected and monitor configuration changes and drift. In this session, we will discuss how you can achieve a sophisticated level of standardization, configuration compliance, and monitoring using a combination of AWS Service Catalog, AWS Config, and AWS CloudTrail.
Getting Started With Continuous Delivery on AWS - AWS April 2016 Webinar Series:
Today’s cutting-edge companies have software release cycles measured in days instead of months. This agility is enabled by the DevOps practice of continuous delivery, which automates building, testing, and deploying code changes. This automation helps you catch bugs sooner and increases developer productivity.
In this webinar, we’ll share the processes that Amazon engineers use to practice DevOps and discuss how you can bring these processes to your company by using a new set of AWS tools (AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeDeploy). These services were inspired by Amazon's own internal developer tools and DevOps culture.
Managing your Infrastructure as Code - AWS January 2016 Webinar Series:
In this session, you will learn how you can provision, configure, and manage your infrastructure using code and treat it just like your application code. We will discuss the AWS services that enable these practices (AWS CloudFormation, AWS OpsWorks, and AWS CodeDeploy) and that allow you to control everything from Amazon VPCs and AWS Identity and Access Management to the configuration of individual applications on a single host. We’ll also talk about on-going management, how to best update your resources, and which tools are best suited for AWS resource management and host-based configuration management.
Chris Munns, DevOps @ Amazon: Microservices, 2 Pizza Teams, & 50 Million Deploys a Year:
DevOps on AWS: Deep Dive on Continuous Delivery and the AWS Developer Tools:
Today’s cutting-edge companies have software release cycles measured in days instead of months. This agility is enabled by the DevOps practice of continuous delivery, which automates building, testing, and deploying all code changes. This automation helps you catch bugs sooner and accelerates developer productivity. In this session, we’ll share the processes that Amazon’s engineers use to practice DevOps and discuss how you can bring these processes to your company by using a new set of AWS tools (AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeDeploy). These services were inspired by Amazon's own internal developer tools and DevOps culture.
This talk delivered at Summits in Chicago, Tokyo, and New York. Videos below are from Tokyo, slides are from New York(same as Tokyo without translation)
Microservices at Amazon:
As popularized by Yegge’s Google platform rant, Amazon is regarded as the first company that got microservices and APIs right. Chris Munns, business development manager of DevOps at AWS, provided an excellent talk at I Love APIs 2015 about how enterprise microservices are really built at Amazon, and what makes them work at enterprise scale.
Virtual Machines, Containers, Lambdas? Oh my!:
First there were mainframes, then there was client-server. Now there are a lot more options when it comes to deploying your code and running your applications in the cloud. While container based microservices are the "bees knees" today, what does that make AWS Lambda, nano-services? The "bees toe joints" of the future maybe? In this session will cover the main 3 ways customers are deploying microservices on AWS today, what makes them unique, and talk about how AWS Lambda makes micro even smaller.
(ARC402) Deployment Automation: From Developers' Keyboards to End Users' Screens:
Some of the best businesses today are deploying their code dozens of times a day. How? By making heavy use of automation, smart tools, and repeatable patterns to get process out of the way and keep the workflow moving. Come to this session to learn how you can do this too, using services such as AWS OpsWorks, AWS CloudFormation, Amazon Simple Workflow Service, and other tools. We'll discuss a number of different deployment patterns, and what aspects you need to focus on when working toward deployment automation yourself.
(WEB301) Operational Web Log Analysis:
Log data contains some of the most valuable raw information you can gather and analyze about your infrastructure and applications. Amid the mess of confusing lines of seemingly random text can be hints about performance, security, flaws in code, user access patterns, and other operational data. Without the proper tools, finding insights in these logs can be like searching for a hay-colored needle in a haystack. In this session you learn what practices and patterns you can easily implement that can help you better understand your log files. You see how you can customize web logs to add more information to them, how to digest logs from around your infrastructure, and how to analyze your log files in near real time.
(SOV204) Scaling Up to Your First 10 Million Users:
Cloud computing gives you a number of advantages, such as the ability to scale your application on demand. If you have a new business and want to use cloud computing, you might be asking yourself, andquot;Where do I start?andquot; Join us in this session to understand best practices for scaling your resources from zero to millions of users. We show you how to best combine different AWS services, how to make smarter decisions for architecting your application, and how to scale your infrastructure in the cloud.

(ARC201) Stop Worrying about Prodweb001 and Start Loving i-98fb9856:
Traditionally, IT organizations have treated infrastructure components like family pets. We name them, we worry about them, and we let them wake us up at 4:00 am. Amazon CTO Werner Vogels has dubbed these behaviors as server hugging and antiquated in today's cloud infrastructures. In this breakout session, we will discuss methods and methodology to get away from server hugging and be concerned more with the overall status and life of our entire infrastructure. From making use of toss-away-able on-demand infrastructure, to monitoring services and not individual servers, to getting away from naming instances, this session helps you see your infrastructure for what it is, technology that you control.
**Shared talk.
(SVC203) Scale Your Application while Improving Performance and Lowering Costs:
Scaling your application as you grow should not mean slow to load and expensive to run. Learn how you can use different AWS building blocks such as Amazon ElastiCache and Amazon CloudFront to “cache everything possible” and increase the performance of your application by caching your frequently-accessed content. This means caching at different layers of the stack: from HTML pages to long-running database queries and search results, from static media content to application objects. And how can caching more actually cost less? Attend this session to find out!
**Shared talk.
Continuous Deployment Practices, with Production, Test and Development Environments Running on AWS:
With AWS companies now have the ability to develop and run their applications with speed and flexibility like never before. Working with an infrastructure that can be 100% API driven enables businesses to use lean methodologies and realize these benefits. This in turn leads to greater success for those who make use of these practices. In this session we'll talk about some key concepts and design patterns for Continuous Deployment and Continuous Integration, two elements of lean development of applications and infrastructures.
