Transcribe →MCL206: Creating Next Generation Speech-Enabled Applications with Amazon Polly
Dec 1, 201700:41:16Tap to summarizeAmazon Polly is a service that turns text into lifelike speech, making it easy to develop applications that use high-quality speech to increase engagement and accessibility. Get a glimpse into successful applications that use Amazon Polly text-to-speech service to enable an app to talk to its users. Attendees will benefit from understanding real-world business use cases, and learn how to add feature-rich voice capabilities to their new or existing applications.
Transcribe →BAP303: Migrate Your Desktops to Amazon WorkSpaces
Dec 1, 201700:42:04Tap to summarizeAre you tired of maintaining and upgrading the PC infrastructure for your organization? Do you want to provide your users with a fast, fluid desktop that is accessible from anywhere, on any device? With Amazon WorkSpaces, you can do both simultaneously by running your desktops on AWS. In this session, we demonstrate the flexibility of Amazon WorkSpaces and show you how easy it is to get started. We also cover more advanced topics, including using Microsoft Active Directory for end-user management and authentication, and using Amazon WorkSpaces to implement a bring-your-own-device policy.
Transcribe →ARC207: Monitoring Performance of Enterprise Applications on AWS: Understanding the Dynamic Nature of Cloud Computing
Dec 1, 201700:56:44Tap to summarizeApplications running in a typical data center are static entities. But applications aren't static in the cloud. Dynamic scaling and resource allocation is the norm on AWS. Technologies such as Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, and Auto Scaling provide flexibility in building dynamic applications and with this flexibility comes an opportunity to learn how an enterprise application functions optimally. New Relic helps manage these applications without sacrificing simplicity. In this session, we discuss changes in monitoring dynamic cloud resources. We'll share best practices we've learned working with New Relic customers on managing applications running in this environment to understand and optimize how they are performing.

Transcribe →DAT321: From Minutes to Milliseconds: How Careem Used Amazon ElastiCache for Redis to Accelerate Their Ride Share Application
Dec 1, 201700:35:41Tap to summarizeAWS architecture for Careem, a fast-growing car-booking service in the broader Middle East, has quickly evolved to support over six million users in eleven countries. Careem also operates in areas with weak GPS signals and unique traffic patterns, resulting in the poor user experience of long driver match times and rider wait times. Careem was storing driver location data in MySQL, but their high volume of concurrent calls and lack of geospatial support in MySQL 5.6 resulted in continuous deadlocks and performance issues. Amazon ElastiCache for Redis helped meet their need for in-memory storage service with advanced data structures. ElastiCache for Redis accelerated their car booking application and reduced ride matching times from several minutes to milliseconds. Learn how their big bottleneck of insert and update operations in MySQL became a quick lookup in ElastiCache for Redis by using Redis Sorted Sets, geohashes, and timestamps.
Transcribe →SID207: Security Change through Feedback
Dec 1, 201700:47:11Tap to summarizeLike many security teams, Riot has been challenged by new paradigms that came with the move to the cloud. We discuss how our security team has developed a security culture based on feedback and self-service to best thrive in the cloud. We detail how the team assessed the security gaps and challenges in our move into AWS, then describe how the team works within Riot's unique feedback culture. Walk away with a better understanding of securing projects within AWS without blocking development teams. Learn how we use the internal RFC process, the built-in features of AWS that help provide better security by default, our approach to developer education, and tools we developed, and those from the community, to provide visibility into the security posture of AWS.
Transcribe →WIN201: Enterprise Innovation? Yes, with AWS Cloud, AI, and IoT
Dec 1, 201700:58:55Tap to summarizeJoin this State of the Union to learn about the latest developments from Amazon for enterprise workloads such as Windows, VMware, and SAP. Sandy Carter, AWS vice president for Enterprise Workloads, discusses the evolution of AWS services for enterprise workloads and the new features and services that we are launching for Windows and VMware. She shares the company's vision for continuing to innovate in this space to make AWS the premier place for enterprise customers. Also, several major customers discuss their own experience running enterprise workloads on AWS as well as pursuing new solutions in areas like AI and IoT.

Dec 1, 201700:38:26Tap to summarizeHow do you get your security and compliance team to embrace the cloud? "Getting to Yes" with Vanguard's Security, Legal, and Compliance Teams was a key factor to the organization's journey to the cloud. Maintaining a high level of assurance is solvable when using an iterative, agile approach. Vanguard is taking existing on-premises controls, plus cloud frameworks such as NIST, CSA, etc., to develop the right set of cloud controls that provide maximum security without sacrificing business agility. In this session, we cover: Vanguard's approach to developing appropriate controls for its cloud deployments; key considerations and best practices when implementing controls; leveraging the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework and the four security perspectives to map controls appropriately; and the various AWS services (IAM, Amazon VPC, AWS KMS, and AWS CloudTrail) that we leveraged. We also cover the iterative and agile approach we are taking by embracing DevSecOps principles.
