Customers will get the full power of the AWS architecture, expansive service portfolio and API's that customers use today.   Customers can start building applications in any existing Region and simply move them to AWS European Sovereign Cloud when the first region launches in 2025.  And how exactly will they do that, you might be wondering? If you mean there will be an easy button that’s awesome… do it everywhere else.  if you mean update Terraform and redeployed Screw you, Amazon.  03:23 Ryan – “Yeah. It just seems so anti what they’re trying to set up with the sovereign region to begin with, right? Like, I guess copying data is fine in, but not out. Like it’s sort of, it’s like GovCloud, right? It’s completely separate. So strange.” 05:06 Application Load Balancer launches IPv6-only support for Internet clients  ALB's now allow you to provision load balancers without IPV4 for clients that can connect using just IPv6. Woot.  05:25 Ryan – “So the trick is for internal, the reason why we’re starting to see this more and more is that because you can address these huge spaces in IPv6, they’re not doing the equivalent of RFC 1918 address space. So that’s why these things become super important because they’ll configure an internal sort of networking path that

Cloud Security News this week 2 December 2021 AWS has launched some improvements to a few of their existing services and no new Security service has been announced yet. With Google Cloud announcing their CyberSecurity Action team earlier this year, we were hoping for a similar response or better from AWS but nothing so far. Updates to AWS Shield, Amazon Cloud Guru and Amazon Inspector. For those storing CloudTrail logs or other important logs to help with incident response in S3 buckets, you can now use EventBridge to build applications that react quickly and efficiently to changes in your S3 objects. This will deliver responses to potential Events/incidents of interest in a faster, more reliable, and in a more developer-friendly way than ever. More on this here If you use AWS Control Tower and care about Data Residency, now you will be able to apply Preventive and detective controls that prevent provisioning resources in unwanted AWS Regions by restricting access to AWS APIs through service control policies (SCPs) built and managed by AWS Control Tower. This means that content cannot be created or transferred outside of your selected Regions at the infrastructure level. More on this here They have announced Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM), a new feature that provides network administrators with an automated IP management workflow.making it easier to organize, assign, monitor, and audit IP addresses in at-scale networks. More on this here new feature.” Amazon VPC Network Access Analyzer. In contrast to manual checking of network configurations, which is error-prone and hard to scale, this tool lets you analyze your AWS networks of any size and complexity. You can get started with a set of Amazon-created scopes, and then either copy & customize them, or create your own from scratch.

AWS Compute Optimizer launches updates to its EC2 instance type recommendations. This is awesome. AWS Outposts launches support for EC2 Capacity Reservations. Being able to use the same tool regardless of where you are is a good thing!   An AWS Region in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is in the works. Great!       Google Cloud Platform: Prom Queen 2021 Google VM Manager with OS configuration management is now in Preview. This is basically patch and agent management.   Forrester names Google Cloud a leader in Unstructured Data Security Platforms. Good job, Google! Google has released a better way to manage firewall rules with Firewall Insights. We just want a firewall manager that does everything for us.  Google announces new BigQuery user-friendly SQL launches. Thanks but no thanks.  Azure: Selling No-Code To Developers Azure gains 100th compliance offering — protecting data with EU Cloud Code of Conduct. Now we know why France was so happy last week. Azure announces preview capabilities of Azure Application Services to run on K8 anywhere. We're really surprised by how quickly the cloud providers have embraced hybrid infrastructure.  Azure releases several new features to empower developers to innovate with Azure Database services. We need to bring the tumbleweed sound effect back.  Accenture, GitHub, Microsoft and ThoughtWorks launch the Green Software Foundation with the Linux Foundation. So they're anti-Bitcoin mining? Microsoft uses GPT-3 to add AI features to Power Apps. For developers who don't code.  Microsoft's new research lab studies developer productivity and well-being. We'll see what happens.    Oracle: One We're Actually Excited About Introducing Arm on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The free tier is amazing!

On The Cloud Pod this week, Ryan has given all his money to the Amazon press team to write really confusing headlines just to annoy Peter. Also, Jonathan is missing presumed cranky buns.  A big thanks to this week's sponsors: Foghorn Consulting, which provides full-stack cloud solutions with a focus on strategy, planning and execution for enterprises seeking to take advantage of the transformative capabilities of AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. This week's highlights IBM is spinning off its infrastructure services business — the new public company will be called “Kyndryl.” Teresa Carlson has left the AWS building. The AWS VP is headed to big-data analytics company Splunk Inc. as its new chief growth officer. Google's like the cool kids who know how to party. General News: Eventual Degradation of Profits IBM to name its infrastructure services business “Kyndryl”. We hope they didn't spend a lot of money coming up with that name.  Top AWS executive Teresa Carlson joins Splunk as President and Chief Growth Officer. We thought she might have been a candidate to succeed Andy Jassy. Amazon Web Services: 5G Not Included AWS formally launches the OpenSearch project. Seems like it's listened to the open source feedback.     Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling introduces Warm Pools to accelerate scale-out while saving money. Please don't let Andy name anything. AWS and Verizon team up to provide 5G-powered edge computing infrastructure. Justin got his COVID-19 vaccination and was disappointed it didn't come with 5G.    Amazon Redshift now supports data sharing when producer clusters are paused. We wonder what underlying tech made this possible?  Google Cloud Platform: Excel at No Code Leaf Space enables next-gen satellites on Google Cloud. This fills a very obvious gap in the market and is pretty cool.  Google introduces a new blog series: Cloud CISO perspectives. Hopefully some cool stuff will be announced.  Google announces its business process automation app AppSheet is now generally available. We feel bad for the poor sap that has to maintain this on the backend.   Oracle: Answering Questions That Haven't Been Asked Oracle releases new features for its Cloud Infrastructure Mobile app. None of the providers really do an amazing job of cloud mobile apps.   TCP Lightning Round Though he won't be quitting his day job for the comedy club circuit, Justin produces some gold to take this week's point, leaving scores at Justin (6), Ryan (3), Jonathan (5).  Other headlines mentioned: eksctl now supports creating node groups using resource specifications and dry run mode Amazon Athena now presents query execution plans to aid tuning AWS Step Functions adds new data flow simulator for modelling input and output processing   Amazon Textract announces quality updates to its tables extraction feature Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Multicast on AWS Transit Gateway is now available in major AWS regions worldwide General availability: Azure Blob storage supports objects up to 200 TB in size New digital rewards and racer profile personalization features on the AWS DeepRacer console AWS Identity and Access Management now makes it easier to relate a user’s IAM role activity to their corporate identity AWS Control Tower introduces changes to preventive S3 guardrails and updates to S3 bucket encryption protocols Amazon FSx and AWS Backup announce support for copying file system backups across AWS Regions and AWS accounts Introducing SAP Integration with Google Cloud Data Fusion  Things Coming Up Discover cloud storage solutions at Azure Storage Day — April 29 Save the date: AWS Containers events in May AWS Regional Summits — May 10–19 AWS Summit Online Americas — May 12–13 Microsoft Build — May 19–21 (Digital) Google Financial Services Summit — May 27th  Harness Unscripted Conference — June 16–17 Google Cloud Next — Not announced yet (one site says Moscone is reserved June 28–30) Google Cloud Next 2021 — October 12–14, 2021 AWS re:Invent — November 29–December 3 — Las Vegas Oracle Open World (no details yet)

In this 1 hour-long themed episode of AWS TechChat, join us as we sail to the Edge and demystify many of the core concepts that occur before end-user requests are made. We start the show setting a foundation of Domain Name System (DNS), why it is important, before talking about Amazon Route 53, a highly available and scalable cloud DNS Service. It is also a full featured DNS service that is API, SDK, and CLI driven. We then introduce the concept of Content Delivery Networks (CDN), and talk about Amazon CloudFront which speeds up the distribution of your static and dynamic web content. Amazon CloudFront also delivers the content through a worldwide network of data centers called edge locations. Amazon CloudFront allows you to run AWS Lambda functions at the edge. Lambda@Edge is an extension of AWS Lambda which lets you execute functions and customize the content Amazon CloudFront delivers. Before closing out, we talk about AWS Global Accelerator, a service that improves the availability and performance of your applications with local or global users. It provides static IP addresses that act as a fixed entry point to your application endpoints in a single or multiple AWS Regions. Speakers: Shane Baldacchino - Edge Specialist Solutions Architect, ANZ, AWS Dean Samuels - Lead Technologist, ASEAN, AWS Resources: Amazon CloudFront - https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/ Amazon Route53 - https://aws.amazon.com/route53/ AWS Global Accelerator - https://aws.amazon.com/global-accelerator/ AWS Events: AWS Builders Online Series http://aws.amazon.com/events/builders-online-series/ AWS Summit Online on-demand - http://aws.amazon.com/events/summits/online AWS Events and Webinars - http://aws.amazon.com/events/

What is the AWS Global Infrastructure? The AWS Global Infrastructure consists of multiple geographical locations which are called Regions. AWS Regions are divided up in Availability Zones which consist of one or more psychically separated data centers. Link: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/?p=ngi&loc=1

Benvenuto/a! Io sono Alex, developer advocate di AWS. In questo primo episodio racconterò la storia di AWS in Italia, gli investimenti fatti negli ultimi 8 anni e le infrastrutture create sul territorio italiano.

Seguimi sulla tua piattaforma di podcast preferita e non dimenticare di farmi avere i tuoi suggerimenti e idee!

Savings Plans is a new flexible pricing model that provides savings of up to 72 percent on Amazon EC2 and AWS Fargate usage. Savings Plans offers significant savings over On Demand, just like Reserved Instances, but automatically reduces your bills on compute usage across any AWS Region, even as your usage changes. Savings Plans provides you the flexibility to use the compute option that best suits your needs and continues to save money, all without having to perform exchanges or modifications. Attend this session to learn how you can easily save money on your compute spend. We walk you through a demo of Savings Plans recommendations in AWS Cost Explorer and different considerations for signing up for Savings Plans.

In this round-up episode of AWS TechChat, Shane and Tom come at you with raft of short sharp and important updates that occurred in September and October in the year 2019. They started the show with an announcement around Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) Single Region Replication, with this feature you can now automatically and asynchronously replicate newly uploaded S3 objects to a destination bucket in the same AWS Region. Just remember you need to enable versioning. There is now a new Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance, G4 Instances with NVIDIA T4 Tensor Core GPUs, which are the Most Cost-effective GPU Platform for Machine Learning Inference and Graphics Intensive Applications. You can find them in limited regions. Limits are changing on Amazon EC2. We have made them easier with vCPU based on demand limits. Much easier to manage. All you need to do is remember you have two limits post-October 21. One limit that governs the usage of standard instance families (A,C,D,H,I,M,R,T, and Z) and the default limit is 1152 vCPU. The other limit for the specialized instance families of F, G, P, and X instances that is 128vCPU. Check out the NoSQL Workbench for Amazon DynamoDB, a great new tool designed to help simplify working with Amazon DynamoDB, and the Amazon DynamoDBMapper class in the Java SDK has been updated to support optimistic locking. Private EndPoints and API Gateway, it is now a thing. You can now associate one or more VPC Endpoints to a private API, and Amazon API Gateway will create and manage Amazon Route 53 alias records necessary for easily invoking the Private APIs. Finally, they closed the show out with two things Shane like - Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code with the former now providing IntelliSense for Amazon ECS.

In this monster episode of AWS TechChat, Shane and Tom (yes he is back) come at you with a raft of short sharp and important updates that occurred in the month of July in the year 2019. They started the show with two Amazon CloudWatch updates. Amazon CloudWatch Anomaly Detection, which applies machine learning to continuously analyze a specific CloudWatch metrics determines a nominal baseline, and surfaces anomalies, all without user intervention before introducing you to Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights and as the sticker says, is a fully managed service to help monitor and troubleshoot containers. Both of these additions are not GA but get your hands dirty and have a play. They then pivoted by introducing you to a new service, Amazon EventBridge, which is a serverless event bus that routes real-time data streams from your applications and services to targets like AWS Lambda. EventBridge facilitates event-driven application development by simplifying the process of ingesting and delivering events across your application architecture, and by providing built-in security and error handling. What's more, there are built-in integrations from the likes of ZenDesk, Pager Duty, and more. On the Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) front, we spoke of four updates. 1. Amazon RDS for Oracle Supports Oracle Application Express (APEX) Version 19.1 2. Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL Serverless has gone GA. 3. Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL supports new minor versions. 4. Amazon RDS introduces Compatibility Checks for Upgrades from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0. Another new feature - Amazon EC2 Instance Connect, introduces that ability to control Secure Shell (SSH) access to your instances using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies, plus with AWS CloudTrail events giving you a centralized way to audit your SSH connections. Finally, Tom snuck in some last-minute updates around Amazon AppStream 2.0 and Amazon WorkSpaces. Amazon AppStream 2.0 adding in support for Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019 base images. Amazon WorkSpaces is now allowing you to copy your Amazon WorkSpaces Images across AWS regions.

In this session, we look at common Amazon S3 use cases and ways to manage large volumes of data within Amazon S3. We discuss the latest performance improvements and how they impact previous guidance. We also talk about the Amazon S3 data resilience model and how architecture for the AWS Regions and Availability Zones impact architecture for fault tolerance.

eSports streaming platform, Bebo, has thousands of servers in 15 AWS Regions and a fully dynamic automatically scaling stack with good uptime. Its servers are also managed by a teenager who can't yet get a driver's license. In this talk, listen as Bebo CTO Furqan Rydhan and DevOps engineer Johnny Dallas discuss how 16-year-old Dallas, who graduated from San Francisco's Drew School two years early, built Bebo's fully automated infrastructure in two months and finds the time to balance coding with studying for the SATs.

The AWS Global Network provides a secure, highly available, and high- performance infrastructure for customers. In this session, we walk through the architecture of various parts of the AWS network such as Availability Zones, AWS Regions, our Global Network connecting AWS Regions to each other and our Edge Network which provides Internet connectivity. We explain how AWS services such as AWS Direct Connect and Amazon CloudFront integrate with our Global Network to provide the best experience for our customers. We also dive into how the AWS Global Network connects to the rest of the Internet through peering at a global scale. If you are curious about how AWS network infrastructure can support large-scale cat photo distribution or how Internet routing works, this session answers those questions. Please join us for a speaker meet-and-greet following this session at the Speaker Lounge (ARIA East, Level 1, Willow Lounge). The meet-and-greet starts 15 minutes after the session and runs for half an hour.

Simon speaks with Gavin Smith (IT Manager) and Saman Tabatabaeian (Senior Cloud Engineer) from LEAP Dev about how they built an automated build pipeline that deploys containers to up to 10 AWS Regions at a time!

Enterprise organizations often require a global Active Directory footprint to support their Windows based workloads. This session will describe best practices for deploying Active Directory on AWS. Starting with a single VPC we will expand to many VPC's in many Regions, thus demonstrating AWS capabilities to support a global Active Directory environment.

AWS GovCloud (US) is an isolated AWS Region designed to help US government agencies and highly regulated organizations meet their compliance needs, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). AWS GovCloud (US) makes it safe and easy to move sensitive data and regulated IT workloads to the cloud, through its adherence to numerous compliance and regulatory requirements. Join us to learn about AWS GovCloud (US) and how AWS can do the heavy lifting for your government agency or regulated enterprise.

AWS Lambda enables you to run code without provisioning or managing servers in one AWS Region. Today, Lambda@Edge provides the same benefits closer to your end users, enabling you to assemble and deliver content on-demand to create low-latency web experiences. Come and join us for examples of how customers can move significant workloads they previously managed server fleets into Lambda for truly serverless website backends.

Docker makes it easy to package and launch code onto a virtual machine. But once you scale your container across multiple machines, or even multiple AWS Regions, how do you efficiently manage container traffic, resource utilization, security, and code changes? In this session, we feature best practices and real-world examples of customers who deployed containerized apps at scale. We include strategies for maximizing cost efficiency across various traffic patterns and implementing a granular access control mechanism for your container infrastructure.

As customers put more workloads into AWS, the number of VPCs a customer needs to manage also grows. VPCs can exist across geographically disparate AWS Regions, or run in separate AWS accounts connecting to a common VPC that serves as a global network transit center. This session shows you how to implement a networking construct that AWS calls a transit VPC using the Cisco Cloud Services Router. This network topology simplifies network management and minimizes the number of connections that you need to set up and manage. Even better, it is implemented virtually and doesn't require physical network gear or a physical presence in a colocation transit hub. Come hear why customers are procuring this service through AWS Marketplace and how customers are using the transit VPC for private networking, shared connectivity, and cross-account AWS usage.

Learn from our engineering experts how we've designed Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier to be durable, available, and massively scalable.
